Colours to the mast II

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

[Lee W]

[CaptainXabi]

My support criteria this World Cup has been (in order)

 

1. Ghana

2. USA

3. Teams with most Liverpool players

 

As such, I will be supporting England from here on out. One team I definitely hope gets knocked out is Brazil. I'm tired of everyone shooting their load over this samba nonsense. They're good at football but the whole thing is just overboard now and it's really annoying me.

C'mon you Argies!!!

[Jonesy]

where is the "anyone but Ingurland" option or the "A@A" option for that matter. For record I have called it to be a Argentina v Brazil Final.......this is where it now goes ti-ts up!!

[Gravy]

I'll certainly nail 'My' colours to the mast.

 

For any Englishmen who have been supporting Foreign Lands and are now considering jumping on 'our' bandwagon because their 'team' is out.

 

Feck off.

 

[BigBird]

Italy.

 

The day after Argentina beat them in the semi?s during Italia 90, Italian radio played nothing but opera arias to a distraught nation. As a music lover myself I have admired them ever since.

 

Rock on.

You dind't find that unutterably sad?

Tear jerking.

Argentina. Like they way play plus a monetary interest.

[D.Boon]

Want England, think Argentina.

[Rimbeux]

England, all the way

[Eiler99]

Brazil or Argentina. I'd be happy with either of those but I voted for the Brazilians.

[SteveT]

England!

Cos I'm English

Cos I want the Liverpool players in the team to win

Cos I'm going to gloat like hell if the host nation don't win it

[Mikael Akerfeldt]

Wouldn't mind if any one of Argentina, Germany or Italy won it.

Can't stand English football fans that would rather support another country rather than their own, just because Beckham or Lampard or Ferdinand or Neville plays for England - it's pathetic.

 

Would love Gerrard to score the winner in the final

Why? Because we're not hypocrites? I can't go from despising Neville, Ferdinand, Lampard etc week in week out to cheering them on just because they're wearing an England shirt.

[Boca]

A perfect scenario would be Italy winning it, beating Brazil in the final, and Ronaldo finishing top goalscorer. I would be down the bookies waiting for them to open if that happened.

[redbaz]

Italy. ?10 on @ 9-1, thought they were great odds but then my brother managed to get them @ 11-1

You're cheering England - don't have to cheer individual players.

 

Why do English people not hate Germany like they do England (Ballack & Chelsea)

Same for France (Silvestre and Man Utd, Gallas and Chelsea)

Argentina (Heinze and Man Utd)

 

To me, the above scenarios are just as hypocritical as anyone choosing to support England.

 

I guess the problem is that too many people HATE other club's players, like those I mentioned above, even though they've never met them.

 

Do I hate Gray Neville? Of course not - I don't know the lad. Do I like watching him fail with Man Utd? Of course, but there's a big difference between the two.

 

Gerrard loves playing for England, so does Carra and Crouch - if they can put up with it so can we.

gerrard scoring the winner in the final would mean beckham lifting the world cup.

[John am Rhein]

England must be stopped.

 

I'm optimistic.
