It’s Friday 6th August. 4.55pm. Five days, three hours and five minutes remain until England kick off against Hungary at Wembley. But there are still 25,000 tickets unsold – very few fans care. Not any more.
What a galling disaster for the FA. When this fixture was organised it wasn’t supposed to be the wake for a crucified England team. It was supposed to be a post-World Cup knees-up. A victory celebration, complete with a stadium full of hedonistic fans, tickertape and newly-crowned heroes.
Imagine the scene the FA dreamt up: ten minutes before kick off and Sir Wayne Rooney, Sir Steven Gerrard and Sir John Terry hold a glistening cup aloft; adoring fans help Capello sing the words to ‘Three Lions’ in the royal box; Gazza, Wrighty and Sir Trevor Brooking dance down the touchline.
