Its fucking FOOTBALL not soccer...

The world cup eh? (baseball fans note the correct use of the term "world" here)

I must have a testosterom issue, every 4 years i seem unable to have a conversation with any male with out seeming retar... eer "special".

Sample conversation:

me "what team are Austria playing in?"
Pub dude (think it were brian); "Yellow, and its not Austria its Australia, Austria didnt qualify"

It was interesting some of the media stuff that was going on tho

For people unaware Most scottish fans support 2 teams Scotland and anyone who plays England, its been like this for decades, although this year the media seemed to get mortally offended my any one in the public eye who voices this opinion. The first minister indicated that he would be supporting Englands opersition, it was like he had taken a couple of Isrealy soldiers captive, Andy Murray made similar comments and was met with hate comments on his web site about the Dunblane school massacre (he was at that school the time of the shootings).

On the other side a father and his young son were hospitalised in Edinburgh for wereing English football tops, this was just one of many such incidents.

As an English (northern England that is) bloke who doesnt much care for football who lives in Scotland i really really could not give a fuck what team people support, what does get me is people in the media telling people who they should support. I do think that actively wanting a team to do bad is a fairly childish tho.

On a plus point tho the amount of George Cross flags sold recently should help out the Korean/ Chinese economy no end
