Here they are, our two England fans (note the 'kit'). Loyalty to the tribe is already embedded in their psyches. Today, Tolka was watching the Olympics and was chanting "England! England!" I don't think there was a British entry in that particular swimming race. Speaking of the Olympics, he has been spellbound watching the divers. Our only fear is that he is going to try to copy them--using a bookshelf or the back of the couch as a platform. Joey can recognise most of the flags, and is very competitive that England must win. I see now how people on this island develop such a sense of futility. Let's face it, the Brits rarely ever do win. It's a land of Eeyores.
