why do we not just stop trying. It's embarrasing.

Beaten by south korea.

Not even a whole flipping country. Just the bottom hslf.

Absolutely shit.

No. I am not unreasonable. I am right.

"Just the bottom half"

Wow.

Im more amazed after the great sporting achievements on offer today you actually thought discussing football would be a good thing!

NickyNackyNooNoo · 04/08/2012 22:18

YANBU - shower of shite!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 04/08/2012 22:18

You are correct.

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 04/08/2012 22:19

We are not shit at football. Well, we are a bit, but that's not the problem. The problem is that we are spectacularly shit at penalties.

strawberrypenguin · 04/08/2012 22:19

:o thanks OP that made me laugh. YANBU we are pretty bad at football!

MonsterBookOfTysons · 04/08/2012 22:19

Not really a surprise though is it.

[resists temptation to start a rant using the words "overpaid"' "sense of entitlement" and "tossers"]

sneeze yes there has been some fab wins today but it doesn't make the football any better!

Eve · 04/08/2012 22:21

Maybe the overpaid lot should look to the dedication and passion of the other athletes .... Never see Mo Or Jess falling out of a nightclub!... They might learn a thing or 2.

Alconleigh · 04/08/2012 22:24

who cares, football's vile. Look at our gold medal winners tonight. right now in fact. compare and contrast with rat faced terry and aged hooker shagging Rooney. Not much in it, is there?

ivykaty44 · 04/08/2012 22:25

Is this the male or female football team?

FrankelSaysRelax · 04/08/2012 22:26

Men's.

Women's got knocked out yesterday [typical]

Enfyshedd · 04/08/2012 22:27

I'm guessing it's the men - think I heard the women got knocked out yesterday

ivykaty44 · 04/08/2012 22:27

someone said on here the other night - rooney goes up to the camera when he scores a goal and swears - thank goodness are athletes don't behave like that

ivykaty44 · 04/08/2012 22:29

Male football is liek the emporers news clothes - they can't admit they are shit when they get paid so much and yet fail consistently

FrankelSaysRelax · 04/08/2012 22:32

If their pay was performance related you'd bet they would buck their ideas up!

Pay them minimum wage with a bonus for each game won. Simples!

Alconleigh · 04/08/2012 22:34

The culture that surrounds it is everything that is worst about this country as well. Poorly educated, over entitled, labels obsessed, cost of everything value of nothing, orange skin, fake tits and teeth plastic bullshit. I pray the current Olympic glory turns some talented kids towards other sports.

ivykaty44 · 04/08/2012 22:36

gosh footballers have fake orange tits? wow [grin glad I don't go to matches!

Alconleigh · 04/08/2012 22:36

I meant the WAGs with the tits, btw!

HaitchJay · 04/08/2012 22:37

Women's matches were much better. Dd2 has been ranting about the pay difference not being fair.

geegee888 · 04/08/2012 22:38

I've been pondering why the GB football team/s don't get much in the way of results, despite there being so much money in the sport and its getting so much publicity.

I think it must be something to do with the money still coming, regardless of results. And being a team sport, so its hard to de-select based on failure, as in other sports.

TaggieMandevilleBlack · 04/08/2012 22:42

See. Put us in charge and we'd sort them out in a fortnight.
