Jamie123 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) As everyone knows, it is the right of every true-blooded Englishman to indulge in at least a day-and-a-half's moaning every time England gets knocked out of a major sporting tournament. And we DO expect our wives, mothers, girlfriends etc. to be sytmpathetic! Why then am I being told "STOP GOING ON ABOUT IT!" and "IT'S ONLY A GAME!" (???) every time I say something about last night's 4-1 lose to Germany? It wouldn't have been so bad if the %$*&£!!! referee hadn't disallowed that second goal. It was over the line for goodness sake! And I couldn't believe the second time Germany scored - off a FREE KICK FOR ENGLAND!!! It's unbelievable! Is that Capello worth the money we're paying him? Someone's head has got to roll for this!! etc... Edited June 29, 2010 by Jamie123 Thought of something else to moan about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameumptom Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Blame it on Beckham. The ability for any good Englishman to whine for 1-1/2 days requires him to first have a pint of ale in his hand at the pub. Or at least be eating some fish and chips.

mnn727 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 But England doesn't play any real sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Sorry man, England can try to blame the bad referee-ing on that goal. But, the fact of the matter is - they just got outplayed. Period. Germany has been playing really good soccer this tournament and that included the England match. England has been shoddy off and on this tournament. I mean - the very first game with USA was an indication of things to come. England had no chance against Germany. It looked like the 2 teams were not even on the same league!

Mahone Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I didn't realise we had lost the match until yesterday morning, I was (and still am) jetlagged to the point of being on auto pilot at the moment :). I was still asleep as they played on Sunday. I see now that I'd rather have been sleeping anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how wonderful it was when we won in 2003? We might have won 2 tournaments in a row if it hadn't been for that stupid decision in 2007 (Grrr!) There was no way that was "no try"!
