I'm with Chip - there's no excuse for football.

You don't want to believe everything you read on the BCG!

Is it? I've not heard the phrase before the post quoted, and haven't heard it anywhere outside of this thread since either!
Well, it's even more bollocks then.

Bloody good point.

I've heard that before. Of course it's nothing to do with the football, it's simply down to the fact that wife-beaters go home drunk more often, during World Cups.

No, it's because they get frustrated at England's performance and punch the wife on the shnozzle.
Well that scenario will only happen once every World cup, when England are actually knocked out of the tournament.
Why are people (the tabloids, mainly) so obsessed with the team being apparently the best, and destined to win, when they're clearly quite shit?

The ironic thing about that comment, is that you've actually ended up sounding quite pompous, by concluding that the England team are shit, after this afternoon's game. It's as if you're saying we should've beaten those lowly Slovenians by at least 5 goals, because we're England, and they're nobodies. The truth is that Slovenia are actually quite a good team.
