Every single one of your past colonies have outperformed you in this World Cup and you were the ones who were invented the game.

Thanks for the laughs.
you support an english football club.

Don't see the correlation whatsoever. Only one Arsenal player featured for England this World Cup.

Agreed but what I can never understand about these English haters is that they support an English club, baffles me but says more about them than the English I guess.

You know the type, these countries with no history whose indigenous population are Native Americans (Indian Tribes) so they long to grasp some history, in fact they pine for it so much so that they just can't stop stalking us poor little Brits in our tiny little land :roll: :lol:

Don't worry you poor little insecure Americans, you'll get over it in about 1500 years..... :lol:

Yep, in fact when he missed those first six games last season and I was watching Sanogo developing in to the little gem he's become I thought to myself "thank fuck we didn't sign Suarez"

Not that I really give a shit about England's performance in this or any other world cup but I think you'll find that Australia finished with no points, which is worse than England. Also to say that every single one of our past colonies outperformed England is just daft- did Jamaica play in it? Did Belize make an appearance? Did South Africa, Malta, Cyprus, Guyana, Burma, India, Pakistan, Montserrat, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia or Fiji to name but a few pop up and win more matches? If they did, then well done to them because they've kept it secret.

Hopefully in 2018 we'll be able to add the former colony of Scotland to that list

That talentless prick Tiote that many were raving about has once again proved what a useless waste of space he is. The Barcodes wanted £25m for him (and I think 1989 wanted us to pay it !)

All of your former colonies in the tournament. Don't be trite.

Australia can take more from their first two performances than England can. You managed 1 point in a tepid draw against a Costa Rica side that were already through.

I do like England, I spent 2 weeks there in March (at Arsenal matches for a good bit of it, wouldn't you know) but I think your national football side is in a comedic state at the moment. I want England to do well, I just think it's funny when they don't because the problems are so obvious and they're never addressed.

Nice try mate, but losing to our former colonies at sports we invented is nothing new. Fotunately for you lot no other *word censored* plays shitty American 'football' or baseball so you'll never know what it's like :box:

I did say 'I think' :wink:

Possibly Augie then? All I know is that people were raving about him despite the fact anyone with an even semi-trained eye could see he was another one paced plodding kicking machine, like Fellaini :D
