Well at least "we're" consistent eh? Losing on penalties.
Again.

My favourite, play 'em again Sam moments?
The multi-millonaire shill, girl-voiced mongaloid hoofing it with the same amount of skill I possess.
Ahahahahahaha
Oh, oh...but by far and away the most gut-splitting, shriek inducing moment in football history in my mind?
Having the coup-de-grace delivered by a goalie.
A goalkeeper beat us.
You just can't be beaten with any more shameful a way than a goalkeeper sending "us" down.
Give that goalie a big shiny medal inscribed "I sent England out. Me, a goalkeeper"

Sure sure, pundits can sob and talk about losing Wayne Rooney (A "genius like Mozart" according to the super soaraway Sun), but at the end of the day England lost because a retard that earns more in a week than all of us combined in a year made the most spakky kick in the history of stupid football kicks.
Oh, and the opposing goalkeeper defeating that waxwork David James.
As I txted to a mate, I pray on bended knees that crying England fans hang themselves with their car-flags.

"We" lost again, get over it.
Remove your flags because you're suddenly not English and proud anymore (oh, as soon as Henman goes down in flames), stop painting your face like an idiot child at a school fete.

It's a game. A game where men kick a ball about.
It doesn't change the world, it won't cure cancer, it won't bring about world peace.
It's a game.
One that "we" play badly

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Heh. Did anyone see those nike adverts - 'goodbye hoof, hello nutmeg' ?
Is Becks still on their payroll? :^)


I'm probably.. well, not as guilty of taking sports so seriously as the car-flag-monkeys, but when I play I do take it quite seriously.
Mind you, in my opinion, the real battle is not against the other team, it's against yourself.
As Vince DiCola (I think) said, '...it's you against you, it's the paradox that drives us all'.

I've been working on mental control for my pool game a lot recently, and had to accept that my biggest enemy is the guy gurning back at me from the mirror.


Ah well, it's a hollow game, a mere passtime, which assclowns like myself take too seriously when we play, and assclowns like most everyone else take too seriously when they watch.

Still, we've got to occupy our hopelessly meaningless life with something, at least sport is an improvement on soaps.

Is that David Beckham or Michael Owen?
Until you mentioned the "hoofing", I could've considered Eriksson.

;)

That's just brilliant. Even better than the 'Jonny Wilkinson-Beckham' picture in General Chat!

You seriously need to get that fast-forwarded around the world as an e-mail, like the "Low I.Q." one! :D

I think you'll find there's a well of pseudo-superioroty beneath many of those flags - not all of them. Some idiotic patriotic jingo about 'love' for a country, when they could quite happily be any other nationality and be the very same damn person. When they're the same ignorant mongs who whine, spit and clamour about anything that upsets their TrashyEngland-In-Spain holidays.

I like football. In particular, I like playing it unseriously. Serious games, I was always at left back, and always sucked, because I'm more of a left mid man myself. Anyway, I also follow Torquay, and Liverpool to an extent. Torquay because I was born there, Liverpool because my dad is passionate about them, in particular Shankly, and his half-serious comments about the importance of football. And he, Mr. Goatboy, is not a idiotic flag w/raver. In fact, he'd give you a ticking off or two about what's right and wrong. He's a damn scarily intelligent man, if a bit of a slob at times (aren't wel all?). Anyway, I do agree with you over the hilarity of passion. The game, more than anything else, becomes a fevrent channel of patriotism (and Britannia STILL rules the waves) and all that bla. When they'd make far more impact in caring about making other people's lives better. To make their 'beloved England' look better, by helping others.

Patriotism confuses me. I'm supposed to love the soil I walk on, and I do, but not because it's English, but because it's been good to me. 'English' is French is an Amazonian tribe as far as I'm concerned. Sure, Amazonians might eat different food, but reverse the two (dominate) cultures, geographically, and you get the same damn thing.

Oh, and the rave over 'JONNY!!!!!' after the World Cup win was excruciating, not in the least because every girl I knew was gushing 'I LOVE RUGGERS!'.

if you read mavs post that wasn't what he meant. These flags aren't an issue of i love my country, they arew up in support of the football team, not a huge issue of national pride.

Thats the the point Goatboy was putting across.

As soon as the Football finish's, down come the flags, everything reverts back to normal. These "flag-bearers" are only patriotic over tournaments, It's this seasonal patriotism that annoys us.

I honestly don't see what's wrong with having pride in your country for a football tournament.

So people stick flags on their cars - big deal. Is it saying "I'm English and proud"? Partly perhaps, but it's mostly just "good luck in Portugal, lads". Thus, people take them down now we're knocked out.

And I don't see anything bad about that. Perhaps you need to lighten up a bit.

I'll wager you just had a big bet on really.

For me, it's more than a game. It's a passion. It's a love. And if you lose something you love, you tend to be upset.
