It’s been a tough 24 hours as an English football fan. And our American readers will be delighted to learn, via Steven Goff, that “Steve McClaren is scheduled to run a clinic during the National Soccer Coaches Association of America convention in Baltimore Jan. 16-20.” Good Lord.

So to cheer all of us up on what is a holiday here in the States, I offer you some Japanese humour — would England have played better if they’d been wearing binoculars like these guys?
