10 reasons to keep smiling

Becks: realises he's forgotten to wear his Gucci pants
13 April 2012

1) It was only England's first game of the tournament. Usually this type of bad luck hits us in the quarter-finals so hopefully that's it out of the way now!

2) Wayne Rooney is only 18 and we'll get at least another three Euro Championships and World Cups out of him

3) Your boss probably has a hangover and is dejected as well, so should be sympathetic to your lack of motivation today

4) There's two more midweek games to go which means more nights down the pub and more days turning up late for work

5) We're the only Home Nation that managed to qualify

6) We don't have to play Germany (yet!)

7) You only have to wait until the next Arsenal game to boo some French players

8) Barthez is still bound to make a comical cock-up in the tournament

9) Croatia and Switzerland only drew 0-0

10) The weather's great and the summer is here! Beer gardens and bbqs galore!
