So you're going to be Clint Dempsey for a couple of weeks?
i am more hopeful my username will be PenaltyKickShootout
RACIST!
The inevitable fights in Aberdeen between England fans and non-England fans are always described as racially motivated, but I can't see why.
one of the funniest things i experienced watching a world cup game was in 98,i was in a bar watching England-Argentina,there were a dozen or so Englishmen in the bar and after Owen scored they were getting massively overconfident,loud,brash and extremely disrespectful to Scotland and our supporters. now at this point nobody in the bar had bothered with them but you could feel the growing resentment to these English cu....em...men
they were getting more and more cocky until Becks petulantly flicked out a boot at Simeone,to say the atmosphere in the bar took a subtle turn would be an understatement...the English knew they had turned a bar full of Scottish football fans into the Argentina fan club.
the game went on,the English still being loud and abrasive,the looks of contempt they were attracting had not turned into anything threatening but we all knew if England won the penalty kick competition they would be celebrating long into the night and at some point someone with too much drink would do something foolish
the penalty kick shootout...welll....it really could not have gone any better now could it,David Batty an intolerable cunt stepped up and missed,my first instinct was to stand up on my bar stool,raise hands in the air and start to sing "they're coming home,they're coming home,they're coming" and the whole bar burst into "Englands coming home" the English guys left rather promptly after that,we went on to have a rather pleasurable evening,the English media blamed Beckham for not winning the world cup and the world was a better place and us Scots could go on and enjoy teh rest of the world cup
