I can never remember, when you folks say "football", does that refer to soccer or rugby?

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

In Scottish it's Fitba. Wi a roond ba. That'd be Soccer, ye ken.

You only have to remember that Rugby players have oddly-shaped balls.

Bulgaria? BULGARIA???!!!??? You're beating up on a bunch of 3rd world Bulgarians and you're proud of this? Come, now, next thing you know you'll be so desparate that you'll find yourself running off and joining Trinidad and Tobago's team. Shame! :P

I have no idea what they said (except maybe for the Ork,) but their head shapes matched certain holes.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Hey when we're ranked 62 in the world and we're beating teams 30 places higher by 4 goals it feels good, no matter how 3rd rate they are!

A wonderful little website, match the hole to the head and get to hear the song :lol: :lol:

The Jocks missed the cut, as did the Irish!, so now it's all about singing your heart out, getting some booze in, and supporting whoever England are playing against :wink:

Yes,
It's World Cup time again!!!!!!

The beautiful game, the moves and moments, the goals and misses, the forwards and defenders, the goalkeepers and acrobats, the referees and linesmen, the agony and the ecstacy....

Not to mention the English sportswriters, at their finest,at the peak of their xenophobic powers, distinguishing themselves by their utter and absolute racism and contempt for those who play for national pride, not money.

Slan,
D. :D
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Not necessarily. It's all about supporting Australia.
