I'm happy that Costa Rica are through (I have them in one of the sweepstakes at work).

tea I agree mostly.
But the a lot of the current English team aren't in the pay league of some of the foreign players.
Their talents are essentially bollocks, I mean, it's just football. But they get super taxed on their wages. They buy a lot of shit. And houses. There's an entire economy that surrounds the football league that would flop if people didn't watch it. And people want to watch the best.

I see it akin to not dropping bankers bonuses because we don't want them to fuck off to wherever else they might go...(not v good analogy haha)

teaandthorazine · 20/06/2014 20:41

Er, why?

YANBU OP

I'm not sure actual happiness is allowed here just yet, certainly wouldn't have been very empathetic to family atmosphere last night. But when it blows over, and tbf to dh it is doing already, I shall still enjoy the World Cup - mainly the Brazilian vibe and a bit of chat from Gary Lineker, just as much as before.

Possibly a tad more as it will be without as much stress. I'm supporting Brazil. How do I add their flag to my NN?

Say what you like about him off the pitch but he outclassed England singlehandedly.

To be fair, biting other players on the pitch is why lots of people have a problem with him.

juggling go to 'my profile' up there ^^

Aliceinvodkaland · 20/06/2014 20:44

Sadly BunnyBaby that is exactly what I think if when England lose - some bastard out there is using it as their latest excuse to beat the shit out of someone including their spouse/partner. Really sad.

teaandthorazine · 20/06/2014 20:45

I wasn't talking to you, Alice.

I'm not into Suarez because he's a nasty racist piece of work.
He is also a great footballer. But I do not believe the latter negates the former. I can't believe how quick they all were to vote him player of the season.
