I just don't care for patriotism.

So I guess when it comes to a sporting tournament played between nation-states, I'm kind of fucked no matter what happens.

I certainly don't care for patriotism, either. I'm watching mainly for underdogs and upsets. I enjoy that no matter the sport.

Is that you Herman?

I've had to do some googling! Not far off him, to be fair.

I think like that, as soon as England go out.

One of the reasons I hate the England team is because they make me want to root against that instinct so there will be stronger nations left to beat England.

Because England winning anything might just finish me off. Unlike the 'golden generation', I have no problem with the players, but to watch the 'it's coming home' twat-horde and media dancing about like they themselves had won the fucking thing. 

No, that's unthinkable. So I have to support fucking Brazil, and Portugal, and other teams I despise, just because they're more likely to beat England.

That's an awful feeling.

Nope. But from the other games thread, I gather it's Argentina v Cape Verde?

Yeah, that goal just was a great feeling, I actually squealed! 2-2 108 mins.

I can't imagine being so bitter I miss out on a game like this.

Hmm. Come on Argentina, is all I can say.

(See, I'd NEVER say that if England had already been knocked out.)

Oh, not mine, brother. I've worked in marketing.
