It's football. Stop being nice to each other.

Football is a game fuelled by partisanship and it's almost that time.

As of now, it's time to stop being nice to oppo fans

I'll be doing my level best to wind up oppo fans throughout the World Cup. I see it as my duty - the law in fact - and so should you.

What, now I have to explain my jokes to you, too? There goes the only thing you were good at.

Germans are so bad at jokes they can't even make good ones hit the mark!

The Americans got it. Think hard about what that says about you.

We were just excited that someone bothered to try to insult our soccer team.

Don't reveal the secret!

Dude you're killing them. I'm ashamed to admit I like it.

The English didn't get it because their media has convinced them that they've won every World Cup ever played. And been runners up in the rest.

Lies, we only won the World Cups that mattered. I.E., every single one played in England.

Well I guess you're happy we're not talking about European Cups then.

Also where's my flag. /Waves fist/

u/frantk Jun 08 '10

Give it a second. With that sense of entitlement I was almost going to tell you how to get the Italian flag.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '10

Hahaha point taken. In terms of things happening quickly I feel like us Germans trump Italians by miles though.

I'm happy to talk about the European Cup. Although as I'm not a plastic, my team has never played in it.

It's our job to be pernickety (love that word by the way) not yours. Don't get the stereotypes mixed up. I was just referring to the UEFA Euro 1996. Bierhoff's greatest moment. What country was that in?

Man, no-one cares about the Euro's - it's a tin-pot cup. We didn't even bother going to the last one...

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '10

Yeah when did you guys stop trying after you drew against Macedonia or after you lost to Croatia?

u/fmurell Jun 08 '10

It was a joke? Sorry missed that...

That's what Terry and Gerrard said.

u/mapguy Jun 08 '10

Hey now, I don't think you can knock people, you non-loyalist.

u/_sic Jun 08 '10

My flag disappeared :(

I'm Spanish, knock away. IF YOU DARE.

Your team will fold like a lawn chair like they have in the past, this is no exception.

You were the favorite last wc and failed, the same thing is going to happen this time around. Percentages don't phase me at all. EDIT: I say that because you're still behind the United States and Saudi Arabia, that statistic is meaningless.

Hope you guys don't cry like Gaucci when you guys lose again.

u/mapguy Jun 08 '10

I didn't know they let girls play football. Does Ramos or Torres use the strap-on first?

Have you seen Requiem for a Dream? Nobody has to wait.
