to think the world cup should be cancelled?

[StealthPolarBear]

Increase in domestic violence?
Over stretching of the ambulance / emergency services?
Most of all, it's FOOTBALL!

So it is just England who shouldn't be allowed Kodak? Australia has its share of drunken dickheads.

if Zimbabwe were playing in the world cup I'd hang that flag out of the window with the England one.........that's really confuse the neighbours

So much for your light hearted thread then Stealth!!

well in fairness the OP wasn't particualrly light hearted was it, just ill thought out

I'd be quite happy if football ceased to exist completely

What would annoy me would be if I was with someone who expected me to do all the childcare while the matches were on...ermm no Luckily for me I don't have that problem. It was only the weekend before last, when my mum mentioned having to put up with the football through summer, that I even remembered it is the world cup this year

Could say the same about Christmas (apart from the last one which is just personal prejudice and not admissible).

would it help if I got down on my hands and knees to plead forgiveness?

oooh a raisin, yum

bleurgh, that wasn't a raisin

Your first point might be an overreaction, not sure about the second. The third, however, I totally agree with you

wait for it.......ahem......IT'S ONLY A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot wait for it to be over - don't care about the flags etc (have no opinion on them either way) but hate the way it dominates everything.

I hope England get knocked out early doors so we can all go back to normal!

Yabvvvvu

Don't you know we might win - after all we did it about a hundred years ago - once

And everyone knows how much every English person loves football

So let's all join together, cross our fingers whilst eating our American chocolate snacks with red crosses on .....

Actually, I don't mind football. I just hate all the crap that goes with it.

here's a domestic violence and footie article

half the country sits on its obese backsides....wouldnt harm a few more normal people to get up and do some sport.

our footballers are at peak fitness.....treating their bodies right!!

and some of us work out every day Tiffany... just don't want to have Corrie shifted about the schedules watch footie every bloody night.
