“就像每一个英格兰球迷一样，我们对没能取得出线权也感到失望之极，”他说。

Like every England fan, we are bitterly disappointed that we have failed to qualify, "he said."

当然，不能说我们理所应当地就拥有参加每一项重大杯赛的资格，但我们取得出线权确实是众望所归。

Of course, we have no divine right to play in any major tournament - but it is quite right that qualification is expected.

当然如果英格兰赢球并且顺利得到08年欧锦赛的出线权事情会不同，但是人们总是会提出其他的观点。

Of course things would be different if England were winning and almost qualified for Euro 2008, but people always look for other options.
