We have every faith that Roy\u2019s boys will send Italy home with their well-groomed tails between their legs.<\/p>\n<p>But we also believe in being prepared. So, in the interests of being prepared for a VERY unlikely England defeat (it won\u2019t happen&#8230;will it?), we\u2019ve put together a disappointment playlist for you to sulk to in the early hours of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<h3>Stop Crying Your Heart Out \u201d\u201c Oasis<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6QyVil0dwhk\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Released in the same year as England\u2019s ill-fated trip to Japan and South Korea, this song is forever associated with Ronaldinho floating a ball over a flailing David Seaman.<\/p>\n<p>Its central message is both metaphorical and literal: no-one wants to see grown men crying over 11 men failing to win a game of football. Not even if their heart is broken *sob*.<\/p>\n<h3>High and Dry \u201d\u201c Radiohead<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lZ1mNzCDmDI\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best thing you had has gone away\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>In 8 words, Thom Yorke (no relation to Dwight) sums up 50 years of England fans\u2019 hurt. Please don\u2019t leave us high and dry this time, Roy.<\/p>\n<h3>I Know It\u2019s Over \u201d\u201c The Smiths<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bAJ_74tDZzU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it\u2019s over, and it never really began, but in my heart it was so real\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a feeling any England fan who has dared to dream about bringing home the big trophy knows too well.<\/p>\n<h3>Yesterday \u201d\u201c The Beatles<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2WQAl5nJWHs\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the morning after the night before. You\u2019ve got a bit of a sore head, but an even sorer heart.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, this song will sooth the pain. Or make you cry like a baby. One of the two.<\/p>\n<h3>Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want \u201d\u201c The Smiths<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yRYpd3_roHg\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, The Smiths again \u201d\u201c but does anyone do good old fashioned England sadness better than Morrissey?<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t actually have to listen this one. Just repeat the title over and over while watching every England match (under your breath, ideally, so people don\u2019t think you\u2019re weird).<\/p>\n<h3>Dry Your Eyes \u201d\u201c The Streets<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NHOf3s70w-c\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>AKA the song men are allowed to bravely shed a tear to. Also what you\u2019ll probably hear a lot in pubs this month \u201d\u201c \u201cdry your eyes, mate, it\u2019s only football\u201d\u009d. But we know better.<\/p>\n<h3>Roar \u201d\u201c Katy Perry<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CevxZvSJLk8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve had your heart broken, but Uruguay awaits. Pick yourself up with this powerful anthem (which is suitably themed around lions). Just don\u2019t let your mates hear you singing it.<\/p>\n<h3>Three Lions \u201d\u201c The Lightning Seeds &amp; Baddiel and Skinner<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RJqimlFcJsM\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The ultimate song about footballing disappointment. It\u2019s both rousing and depressing, which is quite an achievement.<\/p>\n<h3>Always Look on the Bright Side of Life \u201d\u201c Monty Python<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WlBiLNN1NhQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Because, really, football doesn\u2019t matter does it? Does it?<\/p>\n<p>Alright, it does. Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your ears open for our inevitable England glory playlist next week, when we\u2019ll be attempting to gee up Roy\u2019s boys with some upbeat anthems.
