[The Basket]

This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,--This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

[Gnomey]

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold:
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

Desperation has set in in Scotland

 

[The Basket]

Wat the •••• are you rambling about?

Don't you want to sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings?

 

[The Basket]

The Scottish thing is just typical.

It's beneath contempt.

The Scottish thing is just typical.

It's beneath contempt.

It gives them an interest after they have played their three games.

Is tomorrow the feast of Crispin Crispian? I need to get filling purses and signing passports.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.

The Scots are far cooler than the English - they throw telephone poles and kill their enemies while wearing skirts.

Their food sucks, though.

You have crossed the line. I am expert on all things Scottish. Please do not lower or insult yourself with such comments.

Have some self respect. If you want to support Italy then you are badly mistaken but I respect your choice and your right to have that choice.

You are young so have no experience of the world. So I don't hold anything against you.

But it profit a man nothing to give his soul to the whole world...but for Scotland?

In Italy's defense, though - they gave us frozen pizza, over priced cars that need constant repair and Sophia Loren.

The Scots also make a beer with the best name, it's called 'skull splitter'.

I can't vouch for the lowlanders, but I can assure you that the Highlanders aren't very friendly people and if my family's exploits are any indication, then that's an understatement

 

[The Basket]

Today is the day.

My English comrades, I hope you are in good health.

They need to be ready for the victory dance, the victory lap and the victory parade.

Deus vult.

The poll has closed at 9-1 in our favour.

To quote Sir Frederick of Mercury, we are the champions.

Yeah, only that beer is undrinkable, that disqualifies it.
