Oh, and why were we playing english football when we should've been playing american soccer?
No idea mate
I thought both teams were playing Associaction Football (that's how we got the word soccer, to distinguish it from Rugby Football) in accordance with FIFA rules?
Well okay, USA were playing soccer. England seemed to be playing silly ers
Oh and we use the metric system because of EU membership.
So it ain't really our metric system, as attested to the fact that Warhammer uses inches. It isn't to appeal to the American market.
Though it helps.
You guys don't drive on the right side of the road, you drive on the wrong side
Youth soccer in USA is vastly becoming the NUMBER ONE youth sport in our country, i think only baseball has it out numbered but if trends keep going its not gonna be for very long.
That's because many americans think its an "elitist" sport. They see all of the european countries playing it and decided that they want to be like them.
"It's not called 'soccer' its, called football." they say, yeah, I know what they call it in europe and I prefer our football to theirs.
Oh, and the best football colors are GREEN and GOLD!
I think the English bird is the best out of them 4, so we dont suck at EVERYTHING.
Im glad to see i was right anyway, i like saying i told you so.
England are spank. Heskey is a donkey, the keeper was incompetent and almost the entire team were garbage.
The result in of no consequence anyway, because as soon as England meet one of the top 5 teams they will get beaten convincingly, so its of no odds if they finish 1st or 2nd in the group anyway, neither team will win it.
Im not THAT into football, so maybe its just me, but if your not going to win the thing, what does it matter when you go out of the tourney anyway?!
And finally, its the USA, so its no big deal anyway, the missus is a yank, and there isnt much emnity between the nations despite what you might think reading dakka!
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
We played terribly. The second half was just typical English football - you run it right into the box, shoot too late, then get fethed over. Oh wait, that's just Arsenal football We also had too many randomers playing when we had people like Walcott who can make play and he was left at home.
Ehh, Matty, it's just a matter of pride because the Yanks beat us at our own game. We have a complex by which we always believe that even though statistically we are way away from the actual competition we still have a chance because we're going to magically beat all of the good teams. This happens in every popular sport - Andy Murray? It's our underdog complex.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

The Italian is far superior. The English one has a weird look on her face.
Not just saying that cause I'm 3/4 Italian either!

The eye-tye is a close second, ill concede that. The German and the American arent even that tidy by any standards, ive been out with better lookers than that meself, but then i have to beat the women back with a gakky stick.

Wasn't as good as that tie :(
IIRC it wasnt White at the time. The Preidential Palace had to be whitewashed because the buildings shell had beemn given a new decor.
Ahh good times.
That's just a myth... All that survived from the first building were elements of the southern wall, which were white anyway

Twice? I'm only aware of two conflicts between the US and UK, one of which ended quite horribly for us (and justly so) and the other which gave the Canadians this fabulous song:
They are all Barbie dolls
the nationality is irrelevant
Sorry halonochas
Logic? Really?
I am Amerikan
Amerika is da bestest.
I like Amerikan football coz it iz Amerikan
Therefore Amerikan fuzzball is da bestest!
Look I have no probs with you liking your national sport more than Association Football. Good on yer!
But this is a thread about soccer, or babes, or burning the Whitehouse

Like the song.
Like thr spoof headline.
Like the Italian girl.
The rest are great too but dont like the face of the Yank. I wont go as far as to say 'bag job' but its getting there.
Couldnt care less about the score. England 'team' is a bunch of prima donnas. It will be humiliting if they dont get out of group, but if they fall in the second round I'm ok with that. They dont deserve better.
n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

That's easy to say if you've never been in a scrum or ruck before. "group hug" is about as far from an accurate description as you can get.
Fateweaver wrote: Hockey isn't as big in US I don't think as the first 3 but it's probably bigger in the colder states where, well, the populace can associate with it better. Hockey is huge in Mn, I know that.
It's like the Dakka attitude that "90% of us think GW charges too much for their miniatures so that means that 90% of the WORLD player thinks GW charges too much for their stuff". Blanket statements are fun.
How, I admitted I don't think Hockey is as big as football or baseball or bball. The former is me admitting not knowing, the latter is dakka KNOWING that they make up the world player base (or thinking they do).
I see no irony at all.
--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
