It's about the way it was being discussed.
I'm inferring that? Rubbish! What I'm saying is he understands why so many people are against an England win! If I didn't want to see England succeed I would have already said that somewhere on this site. Instead I've posted numerous times I'd like to see them lift the cup (even if it means it's all we'll hear about for the next 40 years), plus I hinted at that in my sig!
I've also made it clear that I don't think England have the quality to win - but that doesn't mean I don't want them to do it! |
It really is quite laughable, you say things like:
--------------
If it was only jealousy then we'd get over it quick enough - but no, the rest of us are tired of the way the media glorifies everything England does and the BBC's incredible biased approach is
what makes us happy to watch another failure at the World Cup for Sven's men
Yep, definately a stereotypical England fan who would rather point out the faults of other teams than realise his own team won't win
Yes, the difference is we know we're crap - you lot are under the dilusion you're in with a chance of winning the whole thing
Again! Rather than face up to the fact your team will fail yet again, you attack my team
I really don't know who I want to win this game. On one hand this WC has made me lean slightly towards England, yet my nationality dictates I should take pleasure in watching them lose.
Brazil, France, Holland, Argentina - England don't exactly gave a shining record against those? But as you say, who cares - it's not as if England will win the World Cup
England won't win the World Cup. Just accept it - I have!
Because they're not good enough?
Oh and I'll stick my neck out here and say England won't win the World Cup - fact.
Easy - because they're not good enough to win it - so they won't
You've just about gauranteed yourself a pile of gloating PMs when England fail again
Just think - England's World Cup dreams could be OVER in a matter of hours
Because England simply aren't good enough - easy. Other teams have misfired but are impressive sides and play well togather. IMO the same cannot be said about England.

Then you temper it with some droll line like "but I hope they win!", as if it's an afterthought to stop people having a poke at you, judging by what you've posted in this thread, you're certainly not support England in any way and you're just trying to cover your own back.
