Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege
Of watery Neptune, is now bound in with shame, which is proof that there is indeed a Shakespearean quote for every occasion.
England's dismal end in their own World Cup is so depressing that a tonic of stirring Shakespearean patriotism is surely necessary :P

This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precios stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves in it the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England!
All quotes from Richard II Act 2 Scene 1.
