Re: Euro 2004
 

We've qualified a few times since tho.

The welsh are an extremely proud nation. But why?

Hehe, that should get a reaction!!! :angel:

Re: Euro 2004
 

Ahh, I get it, you can only be proud of your country if your national team does well!!

And there's me thinking it was only Man United supporters who were glory hunters!

Re: Euro 2004
 

Come on Russ, tell us all about Wales's proudest moments................

I'm got a spare postage stamp you can write on the back of :D :D

Re: Euro 2004
 

Beating Argentina about 2 years ago, beating Germany around the same time.....getting the closest to qualifying in the Euro games in 30 years, not bad for a team which gets about a 10th of the funding that England does!

Re: Euro 2004
 

I'm a Doncaster Rovers supporter. We aren't many and all of us expect the worse.

If my national team are doing well then I have something to talk about, I don't just spout nonsense because I am english.

What exactly are you so proud of? :p:

Re: Euro 2004
 

See the above plus when we beat Italy too :)

But of course, unless we qualify for each major tournament (and end up failing to get past the quarter/semi finals year after year, each time coming out with new and better excuses such as "it was Beckham's fault" and "it was Southgate's fault" and the more recent "it was Seaman's fault") then we simply don't have the right to be proud, do we??

Still - Owen says England can do it this year (just like Becks said they could win it last time) so success is certain, isn't it??? :D

Re: Euro 2004
 

So your proud cos you don't get anywhere but occasionally win the odd game!!
Same thing as Donny Rovers then!!

Except we have been promoted two years running!!!
Dave Penney's Red and White army marches on!!!

Re: Euro 2004
 

We're proud because they're our national team.....but of course it shows great depth of character when you are only proud when your national team does well.....what do they call that? Fair-weather supporting? :D

Aww come on, let's all get behind England - I don't really wish them to fail in the semi/quarter finals.....even though deep down we all know they will!

Re: Euro 2004
 

Aww come on...I wanted Wales to get to the finals...but that may be just because Sparky is in charge ;)

Re: Euro 2004
 

Good for you.

To be fair I don't follow football, except for Donny Rovers. I probably won't even watch England tommorow. Unless the fairweather england supporter in my girlfriend wants to!!

Re: Euro 2004
 

what are you strange funny people on about?

Cant we all just agree we wont win?

Re: Euro 2004
 

Now this is a first......an Arse fan makes a suggestion and I agree 100% :eek: :D

Re: Euro 2004
 

Oh dear. I was hoping this thread was going to about sensible discussion concerning the day's matches, but I see it's quickly degraded into a home nations slanging match.

To Debs: Yes, I'm watching C4 right now. Great stuff!

Re: Euro 2004
 

Ohhhhh what about these then....

1. Henry is the greatest
2. Monster raving loony party should win next election
3. Elvis is still alive
4. I know the meaning of life
5. The real leader of the free word is, of course, paul merton
6. I see dead people (on tv, in old films)
7. the list is over

Re: Euro 2004
