Uraguay went to sleep in the 2nd half. England are well overated, more interested in hair style than scoring.

I was going to post something witty, but I have less than no interest in football personally, so I won't. I'll rant instead, 'cos I'm bored

I hate the way the whole world asks me "who's going to win the match tonight" assuming that because I am English I will have an intricate knowledge of whatever football game is going to be played that night.

I hate the stereotype that assumes all English people live and breathe the game where 22 grown men kick a small bag of wind about for 90 minutes, surrounded by 88,000 other grown men who stand and scream support and/or abuse, then go down the pub after to argue about how 'their' team did, or what 'their' team should have done, or whether 'they' will win next week. 88,000 tacticians who all know better than the £100,000 a minute professionals on the pitch.

I hate the yob mentality that makes gangs of men act like four year olds and start fights to prove something I'm not sure about to other people. Usually fights where there is no chance the other guy will win, because it's not much fun being 'ard' if you get your fecking head kicked in every time you show off


I hate that horrible fake deep voice that 'fans' put on when they yell and sing about football. We've all heard the battle cry of: "yourgonnagetyourfeckingheadskickedin" Imbecilic at best. A group of small inconsequential nobodies, rendered huge and invincible on Saturday night, by their common interest in a sports game???????

Unbe-feckin-lievable!!

Of course, 99% of football fans are nothing like the above, but there's no fun hanging earache on them is there? :lol: :lol:
