Who are you all supporting and why?......
Say your team goes out early doors; second team to follow?

I didn't win the tickets in the sport relief competition! bouhouhou!
I'll support Switzerland (what a surprise, my homeland!) but it'll be almost mission impossible against Spain. Dunno about a second team. Italy/Greece, maybe?

Switzerland, of course. Then Australia, then France.

Turks could not make it there so I'll also wait to support one
Italy, England, and Holland are mostly the teams I like to watch, sooo probable one of them..Are they all in the cup? I am not sure.

Oh why? I just like to see how fast can England play, and how spectacular movements Dutch can make and how Italians know to wine a game.

The Italians are too greasy and dive too much, Anne. I am surprised that anyone, apart from Italians, support them..
Aussies, H? Fair shout but the cheating, ageing French?...Again, apart from the French, just why support them?
I'm England, of course, but do like the way Spain play and am surprised they are not favourites...
Morning James! If you can't get tickets, no one can! I know a bloke in Cape Town who has tickets for all games there - even the England one! Good luck...
They are all there, Peps...I like Holland as well but they always implode at the Tournament...

You don't follow Football, do you Happy?...
Henry was a fantastic footballer for both the Bleus and Arsenal...
He made his Shit Bed, and has since lied in it, when he double handled the ball in the play off's against the Oirish...
All my respect for Henry as a player went that evening...

OP: Anyone except the fucking wanking bastard Spanish.
They cheat, they dive, they complain to the referee, I hate their boring pathetic league football on TV at the weekend because the games are so bloody slow thanks to all the above antics. Oh, and all thier league refs are bent as three-pound notes too.

I do follow the european cup and world cup and I did see what Henry did, of course I do not agree with it but I have always been a fan of the french team and because of one mistake from one person I don't give up supporting them. Iain, I agree, I don't like the spanish soccer team either... I don't like the way they play.

I'm going to the England vs Algeria match in Cape Town. I, of course, will be supporting England, after that I support Bafana and Mexico.

Grecian, still one more phase left to get tickets. Then you buy direct from the outlet. So maybe i'm still lucky.

Fingers crossed here for you, James - I so bet you get the Final of England V Bafana!
Iain? I hear what you say but are not the greasy Italians far worse than the Spanish at diving? And I'd rather watch Le Liga than Serie A. the tackles only start going in when the ball is virtually in the 18 yard box! It's total Stand Off in Serie A...
Trust me on this one - The Italian refs are far more dodgy than the Paella Munchers....
Good shout there, Happy'. i agree with you and the Jackson Five wrote a song about it.."One bad apple...etc.."
The French are an 'old' team now and will struggle - I would love it if England played them in the semis!
You an Ex Pat, Missie?

Germany of course, then Holland and Switzerland. I'd support Turkey now, too but they won't play.
The Italians are the last ones I'd support, after the debacle of the last Cup.

Germany! Bring it on in the Semis against you lot! We deserve a break..
What happened at the last World Cup that you dislike them so much, Happy' and Ninch'?...?
Have I missed something? (Apart from the well dodgy penalty against the Aussies..)

Post by happytraveller on Mar 12, 2010 8:30:44 GMT 2
The dodgy penalty against the Aussies was BAD BAD BAD (particularly for my Aussie husband ) and then Matterazzi (sp) provoking Zizou... not that I excused Zizous reaction but I was still pissed off ! And in general, I don't like the way the italians play. They are bloody drama queens !

True Happy, i was so rooting for the Aussies in that game. They didn't even touch each other but as soon as the guy fell, i knew the whistle would go.

The Italians are diving, cheating, Greasy 'orrible little fecking Footballers...
Why anyone, apart from being Italian, would support them is incredible...
They are dirty fuckers on the pitch as well....I really do hate them....
Zadane should have nutted the To55er on the bridge of the nose - not a PUFFY Butt to the chest, after what that Italian Slime said to him...

Beckss injury is a real blessing in disguise for Engerland. Now they (and especially the manager) dont have to worry about public opinion and pressure from the media to give the talentless wanker either a start or a seat on the bench. Forget Walcott too as he cant get a game for the Arse at the moment.

I so hope that Posh stays in LA and loses even more weight so we can't see her, sideways...
If Cashley and Lennon can get fit then we have a chance...

Italy is out because they won the last EC final against Germany. I'll also won't support Portugal. In the last EC those teams were the worst, imho, with all their kicking and nasty fouls.
