Second verse, same as the first

Oh, England. Suck a little harder, why don't you?

IDEK. I guess there's approximately zero chance that we'll win against Slovenia, so I probably need to pick another team to support for the rest of the World Cup.

It was terrible! And that's being polite.
I probably need to pick another team to support for the rest of the World Cup. Noooo, you have to stick with them.. even if they are a massive disappointment.
I'm not sure who I'll support if (probably when) England are out. There's a few I've ended up quite liking but until then I'll have to be the quintessential masochistic England supporter and cheer on our boys till the end.
I'm not expecting anything though... not completely insane, I hope.

Oh, I meant I'll have to pick another team once England are out, which I expect will be very soon. I don't see us beating Slovenia.

I swear I replied to this comment but my reply isn't showing up... :/

LOL I got it in my E-mail, and I replied.. but now it looks like I'm talking to myself :) No worries!

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, I'm stunned. I can't believe Slovenia's at the top of that heap. O.o

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember being so pleased when I saw who we were in a group with, because I thought for sure we'd easily win the group. HOW WRONG WAS I. :(((

Of course it should rightfully be the USA at the top, but what can you do.

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL God, don't remind me. That call! But, yes, what can you do. WHAT A STRANGE WORLD CUP. Serbia beat Germany, too.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Serbia beat Germany, too.

LOL, that's been my favourite result so far. But, yeah, lots of teams you'd expect to do well have been losing, like France and Spain, so who knows who'll end up winning. (Probably someone super predictable like Brazil, actually.)

I think Argentina's been doing really well? IDKKKKK

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Gah, NOTHING would suck more than Argentina winning.

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA I understand. ;)

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Do other countries hate Argentina too? THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY.

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
For some reason there's the impression of...arrogance?

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHA Mary, I'm trying to be diplomatic, okay? I'm certain there are very lovely Argentinians out there.

[identity profile] fivewhatfive.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there is some magic effect where the minute they cross the border during the summer, they forget all about politeness and/or having any regard for Brazilian traffic laws. NUMBERS. YOU CAN READ THEM, COME ON NOW.

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes sense! I mean, obviously England has been wishing death on Argentina since the Hand of God, but I didn't know how other countries perceived them.

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, my mom's from Mexico, and she's always held that impression, too. It's WEIRD. I mean, I don't like painting with a broad brush, it's just this reputation they seem to carry around with them.

THE RIVALRY BETWEEN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA MAY OR MAY NOT BE EPIC.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLL I HAD NO IDEA. *fails* They're probably England's most-hated team too, or maybe joint-most-hated with Germany.

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
LOOK, AS SOON AS MEXICO IS OUT, I'M SUPPORTING BRAZIL, JUST FOR YOU

[identity profile] fivewhatfive.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING, I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF BRAZIL SUCKS TOO. I'M CHEERING FOR TEAM ANYONE-BUT-ARGENTINA

THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
IF ARGENTINA WINS, MARADONA WILL BE THEIR HERO AGAIN. I can't believe he made a "comeback" from all the drugs and stuff.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
UGH I CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT.

[identity profile] supergoodtimes.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah definitely! I've quite enjoyed Mexico (only because of the atmosphere when their supporters are around). I also quite like Portugal (although, probably only because I love the country) and Holland. The overall quality of games will probably remain sketchy until the knock-out period from the groups are over. Grrr it's so frustrating supporting England!
I can't believe Slovenia's at the top of that heap. O.o *dies inside*

South Korea - sorted.

As a team to support? I actually don't know anything at all about their football team.

[identity profile] fab-fairy.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol - it was pretty fucking abysmal wasn't it? And there's not NO chance. England MAY pull their socks up and if they do win they should still qualify. Seriously though - where was Rooney the ENTIRE game? They needed Walcott there for sure /Arsenal-related bias.
I think I should get another team as well. Maybe Argentina because since we went on holiday there my brother's adopted it. He actually went to school in an Argentina shirt today. I'm surprised he didn't get lynched. I mean it was a primary school, but still.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-19 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
:O You can't support Argentina! They're Argentina!

I'm hoping that England can still win against Slovenia but IDK, I'm not counting on it. Maybe after their terrible performance against Algeria they'll realise that something needs to change.

I'm backing every European team except France and like, Italy.

Also, "England. Suck a little harder, why don't you" maybe it's just my mind's always in the gutter, but that sounded kinda dirty

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-19 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
I don't tend to back many European teams, really. I usually root for the underdogs, but that always means inevitable disappointment.

[identity profile] holeybubushka.livejournal.com 2010-06-19 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, I contemplated staying up to watch the England match and then decided not to since I'll be staying up tonight to watch the Aussie's play ( and probably lose to) Ghana.

After watching group D I can't see the Socceroos progressing to the next phase. It'll probably be Ghana and Germany. England might beat Slovenia, since when the US lifted their game in the second half they were all over them and were the much better side. IDK. England are my official second team, but I never contemplated BOTH my teams would be eliminated in the group stages. :(

Who else to support though? As long as my most hated team (Uruguay) lose and lose easily because the thought of them winning the cup makes me stomach turn.

Oh, and GO THE WALLABIES. I mean, yeah yeah, world cup and all, but I'm a rugby nutter and I'm confident we'll beat you, shitty scrum or no

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-19 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, definitely the right choice not to bother watching the match. It was dire. I'm not really expecting much against Slovenia tbh, but we'll see.

I hate rugby and had no idea we were even playing you! So I don't really care if you win or not. :P
