Episode 49: The quarter-finals
Tim: England are out! We lost on penalties again!
Alice: I'm gutted! I blame Rooney.
Tim: He didn't do nuffink!
Alice: How can you say that? We all saw what he did. The ref had to send him off.
Tim: I still say we was robbed. The ref was far too free and easy with that card.
Alice: You're just looking for a scapegoat.
Tim: No I'm not.
Alice: What about the manager, the skipper, the strikers? Don't you blame them?
Tim: Don't be so rational Alice. We're going back empty-handed and I can't stand it!
Alice: Oh cheer up Tim. We'll be home soon and you and Michal can commiserate with each other - England and Poland out of the World Cup again ... until next time!
