New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World Cup

Re: New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World

England will get all the way to final and lose to Brazil.

I have to say I admire your optimism!

I have to say that this type of delusion is with us somewhat earlier than normal. It's a full 8 months until the start of the World Cup !!

Trust me, NZ will be responsible for the implosion of England. I live here and the humiliation of me in another country by a minnow of world football is logical.

btw. I just found this, don't know where else to post it. :lol:

:lol: Very good. Short arsed cheese eating surrender monkeys !! Reminds me of the good old English joke about why does Paris have so many tree lined avenues?

So the Germans can march in the shade.

Google 'famous French military victories' and click the first response. It's hilarious.

I love France before anyone get's all pithy with me..!!

Heh. Well done to the Kiwis on improving Oceanian representation at the World Cup finals! I look forward to the tournament draw with great interest. :bolian:

England will get all the way to final and lose to Brazil.

Yeah. Neither side will make it past the second round! :bolian: ;) :p
 
Re: New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World

Don't forget it was much easier for New Zealand, as they didn't have to play Australia during the Oceania qualifying, as we are now in the Asia zone, and already qualified for South Africa.

Congrats to the Kiwis on making it.
 
Re: New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World

New Zealand in the world cup? I thought England was the only country in the UK who qualified.

Oh well I'm supporting Germany. I'll be shouting it out and proud in London this year.

I'm seriously sick of those "jokes".
 
Re: New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World

I'm seriously sick of those "jokes".

I am too, Carrie, particularly as they refer to the invasion and occupation of your country by a military controlled by a highly distasteful regime.

I find it particularly annoying when my fellow Brits make such jokes, as if they've forgotten that France was our most fearsome military opponent for centuries.

Okay, back to the football. :)
 
Re: New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World

as if they've forgotten that France was our most fearsome military opponent for centuries.

I don't think they've forgotten, I think that's precisely the reason for the cross-channel animosity. The British and French had been in a fairly perpetual state of war for most of their history as sovereign nations, and old habits die hard.

Carrie can probably appreciate how sick we get of 'bad food' and 'poor teeth' jokes ;)

Good point. :) I wish people would try harder to kill them, though.

PS: The old habits, not the French...(I suddenly thought I'd best clarify that...)

Except that the "bad food" is true :p

Ok, I've said nothing ;)

Okay, back to the football. :)

Alright: Anyone watching Russia vs Slovenia?
It's an enteraining match so far. Russia's highly skilled short-pass game is as impressive as ever, but Slovenia is putting up a very decent fight, I hope they make it to South Africa.
 
Re: New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World

So I won't have to put up with weeks of drunken yobs filling up my pub, and shouting and singing like cavemen in the street?

Oh, what a shame. :p


You say drunken yobs, I say the lifeblood of any good England World Cup campaign !!

Carrie, no-one is trying to offend France's honour, it's just a centuries old bit of too'ing and fro'ing and there are as many jokes coming back the other way as get sent south. Don't take it personally !! The Germans marching in the shade joke was told to me by a fellow from 2REP.

You know what we British are like, it was one of our greatest hours when we managed to get the Eurostar to dump Frenchmen at Waterloo train station on arrival in London.

Now that's funny.

We are not, and I suspect never will be, big fans of the whole European project. The fact that Europe is cut off from the motherland is rather nice actually.

Anyway Carrie, do tell all about your avatar ?????
