Pathetic my arse! The argument is nothing to do with wether England fans are critical of the team or not, ts about their inability to allow others to be critical of the team. Actually this didn't even start about team at all, it was to do with the media coverage. Jeez man, take off the blinkers and look past the end of your nose. Nobody was actually poking criticism at the team Link to post Share on other sites

Each season, before the football gets underway, most fans will have hyped themselves up into believing that this could be their year, often when nothing much has changed from the season before. But for fans of a few clubs/teams, these hopes are really just pipe dreams. they are deluding themselves as to their ability to win. Thats fans all over the world Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't people basically been saying that they don't give a shit? where are you reading that i want to be, or have been critical abot the team?? I have said countless times since my first post, that I never said anything about the English team, you guys get so enraged that you aren't even taking in what's being said. The original point was that some people thought that Japanese TV coverage was way over the top when they beat Cameroon, and I said that its not any worse than the coverage of back home. Now please tell me where I have mentioned anything about being critical of the England team? Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Enraged? Who is enraged? Simply responding to some of the bullshit you are posting. And you now seem intent of messing the thread up as much as you possibly possible, probably so no-one can even work out what was being said and what wasn't. I think Ignore this user is called for. Bye. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 no you're not, you are having a conversation with yourself about people who are critical of the team......that's never been in any of my posts. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yep and 11pm so I'll watch that. I hope they have their emergency meeting about the huge balls before and go back to using proper balls. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 With the quality of play so far, a team on form will be gagging for it. Can the Spaniards pull it off? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hope so. The tournament really needs more teams to hit form. Only the Germans have really done it so far, the Dutch weren't too bad either. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have been enjoying the games on telly, but I just wish they started earlier - I crash early! And certainly dont wake up at like 3am to watch the US tie England Sucks for England eh. Crap goal. But, if the keeper was better it wouldnt have gone in! I also just found out (90% sure according to the big cheese) that Ill be in England this summer taking our soccer team there on an exchange program. That will be interesting Paris this past March, England this summer, and China next March. We will go see a game or two while there, so that will be fun. They sell pints there at the games?
