FOTOT/ Janë shumë patriotë, apo kjo është e tepruar?

Disa thonë se anglezët nuk janë më aq tifozë të zjarrtë si dikura

Por në prag të sfidës me Italinë, me qindra shtëpi janë mbuluar me flamuj anglezë në mbarë vendina

Ata që kanë dekoruar shtëpitë e tyre janë krenarë, por ka shumë komshinj që e quajnë të tepruar dhe bezdisen nga kjoa

Edhe pse kjo çmenduri, sërish vetëm 4 përqind e anglezëve besojnë se ekipi i tyre do kthehet në shtëpi me trofea

Çmenduria nuk ka përfshirë vetëm Anglinë, por edhe vende të tjeraa
