 Football

How I hate football!

I don't know if I'm the only person in the whole of Europe who hasn't got the slightest interest in this overhyped and pointless game, but it seems like it. Work stops, traffic stops, people get stupidly drunk and all the decent pubs are ruined for the duration.

Not that I've watched it, but apparently England haven't been playing very well so far. Big question then, what do they actually do that makes them worth their utterly stupid salaries?

Worse than this though are the stupid flags people are sticking on their cars. I bet they are popular with bikers as they are ripped off at highspeed on the motorway. Duh. I saw one car with its wing mirrors painted with an England flag, enough is enough!

I expressed my opinion that I hoped we got knocked out soon and was told I was being unpatriotic! (Well, I'm not english anyway so I didn't care).

I listened to our rubbish entry in the Eurovision song contest, how much more patriotic can I be? ;-)

lol - no, I don't think you're the only one, but you're definitely in a minority.

Think of the upside, though: yesterday evening at 8:10, we went to the local take-away (the one which is also a sit-down restaurant, and therefore doesn't have a TV nailed to the ceiling); I have never had such prompt and eager service. And there was a small but hardy band of others, there for the same match-avoiding reasons and clearly having a very nice, peaceful evening out.

I used to skive off footie at school, and I see no reason to change that sound habit now. ;^)

Well said!

I'm sick of it being in the papers, on TV, on the radio, sick of seeing morons with their stupid flags (I even saw a car with a white bonnet with red cross!).

I can't wait for them to get knocked out and some normality resume.

Why does everything have to be rescheduled for the World Cup? The British GP date and start time, and also the Le Mans 24 hour had it's traditional start time changed.
I think it is time that the media stopped calling it 'The Beautiful Game' - Why is it 'beautiful??'

I hated football at school as well, (actually all sports!).
Worht while noting that the pub near to GMP (Crown and Cushion) proudly display that they are a 'Football Free Zone'!!!

No, you are not the only one, there is also myself and the guy I am married to :-) Then, again, we are now in the category of "former Europeans" and here across the pond football of this sort is apparently fit for 10 year old girls only. I do love the irony of it, mind you....
