International footballs bunk. As long as Scotland aren't in the tournament and I get relative peace, its a muchness. Hope Ireland do well and England go out on penalties :atu:
you know, that's tough It's genuinely cool when the US does well, because we're not really supposed to... Tough call... I think I'd feel glad for either team winning... America's weird, man... especially the east coast, because most of us are closely tied to our ethnicity, the Irish, the Italians, the Poles, the Portuguese, etc... I definitely root for the US to do well and I enjoyed them last time out, they had a good run... I'd be torn there... but Ireland/England is different... You've got 800 years of history there between those two... If America was to Ireland what England was to Ireland, well forget it, I'd be wrapped in a fucking green-white-orange flag, to be honest
when they get it, we'll know they cheated and we can ask to have them banned.:truce: Then we can ring Floyd and tell him who cheated and get our special Blue Floyd Anti-Cheaters merit badges.:egypt:
Is that the fella who was the US goalkeeper years back? I have never claimed to be an expert, man, you know that... I root for the jersey, I don;t think I could be accused of putting on airs when ti comes to football... I didn;t even follow a team until last year
The name rang a bell when I cheated and found out. He had 100 caps so I must of heard his name at a couple of world cups.
Q: How is a pint of milk different then a hun? A: If you leave the milk out for long enough it develops a culture
In fairness, England needs to give it up. Prince Andrew is bent. Mark Palios is bent. Sarah Ferguson was on the take. Sven took the mickey. Ferguson is a law unto himself. John Terry likewise. Foreign managers are coldly received, foreign owners are despised, foreign players are suspected. England is no bastion of probity when it comes to football. You got Dave Whelan saying he would "never hire a foreign manager" and you got Emre being hounded out of England proper. I like England, broadly speaking, but the country, via Sky and the like, is coming across as a butt-hurt lot who are sore over how they didn't get the World Cup. If England was hosting the next World-Cup you can best believe that the press would be singing from a different hymn sheet. Are FIFA bent? Yeah, probably, so leave. If DJ Blatter won't play your tunes....leave. This racism thing is such a load of shit. It is such a crock of shit. Men on MILLIONS per annum are being compared to the average guy in a minimum wage work-place. Suarez called Evra a "Little Black Man"....which, is..incidentally...what he is. A Pakistani won't speak English...we are told to respect cultural differences. Suarez calls Evra "Negrito"....and he finds himself charged as if he was Heinrich Himmler. John Terry is a tramp but when he was stabbing Capello in the back, he was let off the lead and encouraged. Now the boot is on the other foot and the guy has become an embarrassment. Whose fault is that? The press who backed him when he tried to pick the team in South Africa. He was NEVER reigned in and now he's landed them in it. I agree with Blatter. Blatter never said that if there was racist chanting that people should shake hands. He never said that. What he said was that if one man says something in the heat of the game to another that they should try to shake on it and let it at that. Sky shit all over the English people, they really do, they treat people like they had no IQ. People want to be lead. Evil FIFA. Ironically, Prince Andrew was being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office who were then told to back off him, that there was too much money at stake. It's not just down to Blatter. Speaking honestly....too many people don't like England. A lot of the time it's real petty shit, real IRA or Colonial African nonsense, a historical sense of injustice rather than any immediate serious grounds for dislike. But there's more to it than that. The English come across as perennial "holier-than-thou" sorts when they aren't. As I say, don't get me wrong...I have family in England, my sister married an English guy, had a kid and they live in London. I'm not a hater....but.....etc etc etc.
If that gets you through the night, man, whatever but I didn't have to cheat... I remember the 1994 run fairly well... the big stars for our side were him and the red-haired guy Alexi Lalas... Tony did some commercials as well.
I do have to wonder.....who tells the lovelies to get their tits out on SKY? Its not Blatter, so why worry about what Blatter has to say about women in tight football Uniforms? Who grabs their arse and shows it to Graeme Le Saux? Its not Blatter, but Robbie Fowler. Why is Max Clifford protecting a gay Premier League player if the English game is so open and homophilic? Why concentrate on the alleged homophobia of Sepp Blatter when these incidents are occurring in England?? Why is Martin Ziegler running around talking about race-crimes trials in Germany when the Steven Lawrence trial is STILL ongoing in Britain, nearly 20 years after he was murdered?? Why did Rangers Football Club employ a UDA sympathizer in Andy Goram? Why did England fans destroy Lansdowne Road in 1995? Why did Bowyer and Woodgate kick the shit out of a parki in Leeds in 2000? This is all English doing. Stop worrying about "Hamilton Family" in Spain or Neo-Nazi's in Germany. Why do these hacks and these babbling talking heads seem to think England is immaculate and way ahead of the pack???? The people in Hillsborough were fitted up by their "own" Police and their "own" FA- they never got any justice. 25 years and they are still waiting for Justice. These morons need to climb down off their high-horse and get with the programme. The methodology at work here is the same. You had guys like Benitez {whom Torres came out in defense of today} and Wenger being described as unhinged loonies by the Brit Press and the same model is now being used on Blatter. Word to the Brits: don't be such tightwads when it comes to the bribing and maybe you too can host a tournament or two.

yeah, because it would be so hard for an american to remember one of the two or three american soccer players who have ever been even remotely well known:wack: I certainly wouldn't be wasting my time "cheating" in hopes of impressing the likes of you
Everyone here is a rampant cheat. Floyd has been informed of your cheating. I want random browser and right-click tests. Fucking cheats the lot of you. Go join FIFA and cheat with Blatter.
you're just bummed because I vaguely remembered the goalie seriously, you could have picked anyone besides him, Alexi Lalas or Landon Donovan and I would have said "no clue"
I'm glad we're hosting the Olympics. Hopefully it'll be a success (which I think it will), then we can hopefully start hosting football events.
You hosted a football event in 1996 which had visited upon it the quasi-hooligans of David Baddiel and Frank Skinner and their by-jingo anthem, "Footballs Coming Home" {except it wasn't}, crosses of St George were to be seen fluttering everywhere, if I recall the lyrics correctly. A year prior to all this, Hooligans had wrecked Landsowne road It's just the mentality of the British Press that has people so fucking pissed off. Poppies and fucking Blatter.
