Lousy sporting week Part (I've lost count)

I've said it before, being a Coventry/England fan doesn't exactly throw up many occasions for delight and happiness. But this last few days really has to be the worst ever! I've said that before as well, but I mean it this time.

England play Russia in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. A win or draw would have guaranteed us a spot in the finals next year. A loss would mean we have to beat Croatia in our last game and rely on Israel to beat Russia. We were 1-0 but lost 2-1.

Coventry, still in financial turmoil, lose 1-0 at Plymouth.
England lose to South Africa in the World Cup final. We played well, and had a decision go against us that could have gone either way. But we still lost. To a team that played England, Samoa, Tonga, USA, Fiji, Argentina and England to win it. Please not the lack of big names in that list, like Australia, New Zealand and France.

Lewis Hamilton drove in the final GP of the season, needing to basically finish only a couple or three places behind Alonso and Mr Personality Räikkönen to become the first rookie to win the title. He didn't. He bottled it from second place on the grid, and his car got gremlins.
