… my arse.
I watched the second half of the England – Ecuador match at the weekend, and I still have my firm belief in football.
Football is a game played by tossers, supported by tossers, and commentated by tossers.
I was pretty pissed off when, a few years back now, a pub full of Portugal supporters, including women and children, was attacked by English ‘fans‘ because of the outcome of a game.
I was also enraged when one of the players was asked about the really crap performance England had in there first game (where they won 1-0 from an own goal) and they said that it was the end result that counted.
This is crap. Its a fucking GAME! 22 blokes get together to kick a pigs bladder around an open space.
Where is your national pride! I hear you scream. Fuck national pride, any nation that supports the bullying of the weak, wanton violence and mindless destruction, can kiss my arse. It was wrong when we did it to the native Americans, the South Africans and the native Australians, it was also wrong when Hitler wanted to do it. Its still wrong now.
Mind you its good that we support a sport that we are shite at, kinda like siding with the underdog, but then lets review:
- Football – crap
- Cricket – crap
- Rugby – crap
- Athletics – crap
- Underwater basket weaving – moderate to crap
And finally on the note of national pride; When the ‘English‘ team consists of only English members, then there may something to be proud of. Something that regional teams should bear in mind because when it was a local event, it was also a family event, and a real sport.
