Can we stop it please. Banter is one thing, sticking the knife in is another. Some of you are acting (or maybe not acting) like 6 year old kids. The forum wasn't made for this so if you want to start a flame war then do it somewhere else!
 
It's the same every tournament mate and just re-inforces my opinion of people from certain coutries and it won't change, it will happen during every tournament, pathetic, but true.

Unfortunately while other countries dont have any problem with the good people of England, the media in England - the way they build the team up, talk about England and no one else even when other teams are playing, make it inevitable that there will be people celebrating when England lose, its a shame though, for the normal every day run of the mill England fan, id have loved to see England win it.

Cripes, Im half English and I enjoyed seeing them lose just to see Lineker, Motson and Wright getting their just desserts after 3 weeks of non stop gloating.

I do feel sorry for the average English fan though, it does suck when your team gets put out a tournament, whats worse is that Rooney will now be made the scapegoat for another failure, although it should like only on Sven's shoulders, the man is a tactical nightmare.

can i just say one thing, how come when people have a bit of banter about England getting beat we are all horrible etc, yet Scots get the **** ripped out of there football team alll the time, yet it seems acceptable. I am sure there was more than just some 'banter' when Scots didnt qualify ;)

Remember these are UK forums, not English, and as such 4 countries are involved with rivalries going on hundreds of years in these countries, so a bit of stick after all the 'how great are we' nonsense shouldnt be unexpected.

just my 2p

Also just to add the fact that a lot of English fans are just sore losers, how many Arrests do we all think there will be tonight, in Germany and England, its a shame really.

Great, the trolls have got the world cup thread closed.


Seems like to me the trolls did their job perfectly, i wish people would stop feeding the trolls as we like to say here. Crikey its only a game but yet some people took the whole thing to the next level....utterly pathetic tbh.

On that note, shame England lost...thought they were cheated out of a win thanks to Ronaldo.
 
it happens mostly because *as a nation* the english cant take abuse. Now i'm not saying thats true for everybody here, but there are a lot of people as shown in the WC thread that just cant take being wound up. Trolls feed on it, they retaliate, thread gets closed. Simple as that.

Exactly.

I dont have a problem with people having a go at the Scottish Football team, I am the first to admit we are utter crap.

not all of them fella, a lot of us dont have a huge chip on our shoulders, I find that attitude quite pathetic.

I'm a Jock & always support all the home nation teams, even my misses is gutted, afraid Sven ballsed it up from the beginning & I dont see much of an improvement with his replacement.

Can say what you like within the rules :p Cannot recall what you are talking about outside of the banter realms, if so it wouldn't have happened on my watch ;)

I like the way people can support England without getting there posts reported but if you support Portugal your the spawn of satan :mad:

edit - And now my sig is bad? Loads of people on this forum have signatures of England players..and i don't mind.


Incorrect, you can support anyone you like, but there is a difference between supporting a team & taking the **** out of another one for losing a game, especially given how seriously most take said game. If it was a case of some people saying glad we (portugal) won it would be fine, but given it is more ha ha **** you, it isn't. Read the rules thread, the main thing is respect.
