World Cup - NO!

[Bod]

Where I work we've been making a lot of posters and banners for pubs and club which say things along the lines of 'Watch England during the World Cup here".

Why?

I'm so glad I'll be in America when the World Cup is at it's height for they are one of the few nations who don't care.

I cannot understand the fun in watching a bunch of chavs you have no control over playing a game with another bunch of chavs you also will never meet and hoping that one lot wins in the name of some much misplaced national pride.

And people get really upset when their team loses to the extent it can ruin their day/week. Why? It's not like you failed. A bunch of highly over paid spoilt brats lose a game and drunk men in pubs hundreds of miles away have to get in a fight about it. Bloody ridiculous. I just don't get the sense of achievment gained from the success of complete stangers.

And then people have the audacity to call me unpatriotic for not caring if England wins or loses. Utterly ridiculous. Now if it was a war, then I'd want my country to win just for the safety of my friends and family. But how does a football game affect the English nation?

People are too busy living their lives and dreams through others, rather than achieving something good themselves. Do yourselves a favour, sod the ass holes and their slapper rich bitch wives off, go have a kick-about with friends in the park instead, and have a few pints in the pub after - just not a pub with a big screen.
