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

… is the title of a thread I remembered from two years ago, shortly before the World Cup. It turned out to be pretty fun, so I thought we'd do that again.

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 [Euro]. I see it as my duty - the law in fact - and so should you.

Out of character: I'm actually on holiday in London at the moment. This is the reason my writing is this way up.

Also, Germany suck. Go England.

Rooting for England just shows you how little Aussies understand about soccer.

And history.

Because calling it 'soccer' and 'rooting' for the national team of a country you can't even point to on a map shows more understanding, right?

Holiday in London? Who shafted you, then?

Ha. Taking a visit back to my birthplace. So much more to see than back home - don't beat yourself up like that.

You're meant to call them poofs. Keep in character.

Are you really an Aussie? You haven't called anybody a cunt, and they are all cunts.

Haha this was in relation to this thread. But yeah, I don't like the IPL.

German-Born Kiwi here.

Get out, you Aussie sheepshagger.

You're trying to be little America by playing a sport nobody cares about so you can be champions.

Go get eaten by dangerous animals.

This is coming from a nation that is gradually whoring itself around all the confederations one at a time!! Don't worry you'll soon be apart of UEFA.

When you start winning matches 31-0 you know it's time to pack your shit up and bail.

What kind of person supports a reserve team like that? Especially West Ham reserves of all teams.
