Re: New Zealand will be to blame for putting England out of the World
What NZ needs to do is learn a lesson from us Europeans. Import a lot of immigrants. They'll play football and improve your team. Just look at the French team. How many White Frenchmen do you actually see playing?
Send some officials to Brazil with a suitcase of airplane tickets and Portuguese - English dictionaries and you guys are sorted.
It's a dig about Londoners who don't know New Zealand and Australia aren't part of the Union. I've meet so many ignorant people who think ANZ are countries in the way Scotland and Wales are countries.
I personally don't like the German jokes. They are almost always about the war and totally ignores the fact that the only way we beat the German army was to gang up on them with others and even then we got our asses kicked so many times.
Personally I think it's a modern backlash at how Germany despite being defeated and destroyed has beaten the UK at every single thing with the exception of teen pregnancy. While we lost our former glory and power.
Knowing the crime in South Africa. They'd get shot for a single mobile phone.
The funniest thing was how New Zealand overnight has become a footballing nation when there is no overt interest in the game.

New Zealand in the world cup? I thought England was the only country in the UK who qualified.
This statement is highly confusing to me.

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.![]()

Anyone else see the irony inherent in the fact that the NZ football team call themselves the 'All Whites' and the 'All Whites' are now off to South Africa for the World Cup.
'All Whites on their way to South Africa'
They'll be lynched. They need a new nickname, they sound like a white supremacist team on tour.
The Irish crowd are always worth a 12th man.
