Do I care what you get, what you see, what you are fed? No. That isn't England, that isn't my problem, don't blame the 'English media' when talking about watered down American TV. It's built to suit your audience.
I'm not annoyed about what you are saying. I'm annoyed about the premeditated threads between you and your buddy. You aren't a bigot? Whatever, though Burke has certainly show he is. Oh he just realised England hadn't won a tournament in so long and he wanted an intelligent football debate? HAHAHAHA! Riiiiiight. That asshole can't handle anything outside jokes about a players name sounding like cock.
Oh ok Burke. A quote from Joe Cole. So what? 'Burst the bubble' isn't that exactly right? Didn't I explain why we have the bubble? Because we can, we have shown we are capable and it's entirely possible we could win. Will we remain optimistic for EVERY single tournament now and forever?
Yes. Because that my friend is what Britain is all about. Something you can't understand in your American life.
The end. I don't care to continue in discussions where the objective is simply to provoke.
It wasn't Joe Cole, it was Frank lampard, read more carefully.
You are capable, what deems "capable?" Is that some kind of worthless term given out that means 'possible?' Yea, sure, you guys POSSIBLY have the ability, you POSSIBLY will win, but also, the English could POSSIBLY go out before the knock-out stages. Hell, even EGYPT can POSSIBLY win.
So, we have established that anything is POSSIBLE, but is it PROBABLE, fuck no.
Britain is all about having a fictional bubble placed around its team because they hold their standards high? Which is more detrimental than anything, I think. But I would think Britain is about a strong unified Kingdom with more rich history than most any country, that is what I would say Britain is about.
But, once again, you are right, I know nothing of your country, because I am American, I am the ugly American with no knowledge at all.
We aren't blaming the English for our country force feeding us the English media, you need to read for comprehension, not just string what we say into supposed blastfeming bigoted rantings. We aren't BLAMING the Enlish, we said that the English media is ALL WE SEE. So, chill.
The thread was not meant to either offend or demean the English people, it was to show that they ARE NOT THAT GOOD! So, yes, it was for an educated debate, contrary to what you may think, look who is biased now.
PS - Nothing I said in that thread was "bigoted" I said nothing about the English people as a whole, or any ethnic group, I talked about the past 40 years of the ENGLISH NATIONAL SIDE, you uncoordinated bastard. So please, stop putting word in my mouth. I haven't personally attacked ANYONE since I have been back, so don't try and push my buttons,
Jamie.
