New Zealand, I believe, were the only unbeaten team in the 2010 World Cup. Just saying.

Slime.

What I am saying is that some people in the military will be just doing it for the money, after all it's unreasonable to think that everyone joins up based on their overriding loyalty to queen and country. Players play for their country because it is, or at least should be, the pinnacle to aim for in their career. I support my country's sport over my team because I feel that the national good is far more important than a self centered interest that a bunch of foriegners pulling on a shirt, purely for the money, is.

You are right - some people dont just join to serve for their country - some join to get a job and money. I joined to serve my country and did it with pride.

Just as you cant assume everyone joins the military to serve you cant assume every player believes that playing for your country is the pinnacle. Lets not forget that it wasnt long ago that players were demanding a bigger bonus for playing in the tournament. In fact in 2012 they negoiated to get over 100 grand a player if they did well in Euros 2012 - so it appears money also comes into it when playing for their country. These players earn millions each and wanted even more money to play for their country in tournaments.

You seem to confuse hatred of other teams to be a personal hatred of individual footballers. I have stated that I also loath Man U -largely because of Ferguson and his ways, albeit successful, in the way that he bullied, and back years ago when his teams with Ince, Robson, Keane etc could kick lumps out of everyone but all swarm round the ref to complain when anyone had the temerity to touch them.

The trouble here Phil is that your postings on a variety of subjects is very adversorial and you always appear to take the opposite view to the norm and as Fairway says - "on a mission to piss people off"

I am just posting my opinion - im not trying to force it on anyone , im not trying to disagree with everyone , im respectfully just trying to post my opinion without turning it personal and starting to turn on posters and question their character - it appears others dont. Yes i feel strongly sometimes about things - being told im not patriotic because i dont support a bunch of overpaid over hyped footballers is something i feel strongly about. I have my reasons for not supporting them and i have posted them - im happy for people to disagree with them - and i respect peoples right to disagree with them , so hopefully people should respect my right to my opinion.
I don't care whether you support the national team or not but if people like you in football had their way there wouldn't be a World Cup or European Championship and all we'd gave is a bunch of foreigners pretending to be die hard Liverpool lovers until Spurs offer them more money!

Both the World Cup and the Euros are turning into a political money making exercise - the recent award of the World Cup to both Russia and Qatar highlight that exact thing - they were awarded to people who can provide the most amount of money to line peoples pockets. It is corrupt as you can get.

I actually enjoy watching the foriegn teams - love the football they play - especially Spain and Argentina- quality teams with quality players.

And finally i must thank you for responding in a respectful manner and just debating the points as opposed to the poster and i hope i have alse responded in a respectful manner. Its never my intention to upset or abuse anyone.

Got to admit, I love your posts! Great entertainment mate
 
It could have been better but Italy aren't going to be use to the heat and humidity either and are notorious slow starters so there is a good chance of a point or a win. Uruguay may have beaten Jordan to get there but I think they will be a force in the competition as they will score plenty of goals but I do think they have some defensive frailties and so again a draw is achievable. I don't think we'll win the group but I think we'll get through.

Then we'll be coming home
 
Boo Hoo Hoo, we didn't get the easy group we wanted, actually cried myself to sleep last night. That's a lie, we are England, either wear your three lions and support the team or sit watching soaps with your missus.

Or move to Liverpool

With all due respect mate, complaining that the World Cup and the Euro's is all about the money, whilst supporting a team in the Premier League, with aspirations of playing in the Champions League, seems a bit contradictory. All top level football is about money. Too much money to be honest. If you want to watch football that is about passion and a love for the game, then you'd be better off finding a local Non-League team and supporting them. ;)

Why would I support a team local to me ?

They aren't my team. I still have passion and a love for supporting Liverpool

I know football is all about money - that gets worse each year and I hate it.

It wasn't really about supporting a local team, more about supporting a team for whom profit isn't the be all and end all. I've watched nearly as many Burscough games this year as I've watched Wigan. I take the lad with me. It's 2 stops down the line on the train and costs me about £25 for 4-5 pints for me, and some Cokes for him, as well as entrance to the game. I've spent time chatting with most of the committee and now know several members of the supporters club.

It really takes me back to when I started watching Latics in the Northern Premier and the old 4th Division. Proper football..:thup:

Don't worry Danny boy, the Latics are trying their best to bring those days back for you..... :whoo:
 
If we're going to win the World Cup then we'll have to beat better teams than Italy & Uruguay so bring it on & let's see what happens. If Tom Cleverly & Danny Welbeck get injured before the tournament then we might have a chance.

I wish there was a way to get back to the old roots - watching with my uncle ( god rest his soul ) and just loving the passion.

The Premier League has ruined football IMO
