Here's to us giving up on professional sport and starting again on the village green/pub garden. I'm sure that football was more fun when people could take being pushed/kicked/hacked-down-and-shoved-into-a-ditch without some 3rd party having to get involved.
No?

Well, England just lost 2-1 to France in the 2004 European Football (or Soccer, depending if you're an American) Championships, I think he has every right to say f---.

Although I think he has every right to say it in General. :P

"we really do just suck at proffesional sport dont we? Maybe try something else like... <insert good idea here> "

Like only playing professional sport when its called cricket, the opposition is from New Zealand, and the vast majority of its bowling attack is injured? That seems to work (barely).

Perhaps we should push for darts to become more widely watched...

now theres a way we could win something.
Britain no1 for international darts.
At least then we'd win something.

Can i just remind you all of November 22nd 2003 when we won the Rugby world cup! we may suck at most other sports but at least we have rugby! And also, we still played well! France just happened to get lucky in extra time, i think we're better than people keep telling us we are at football so stop being so pessimistic, we only really suck at cricket and tennis

yeah, perhaps we should establish an international sucking ass tourniment.

Or just do what the americans do, invent a load of stupid sports nobody else in the world plays and claim to be the best in the world at Them!

The fundamental difference is, we know we suck. You don't know you suck until it's too late.

By the way the region of NATO recon that Latvia are going to win. Are we on drugs or what!

England announce retirement from international football.
Report by McCarthy Witch Hunts

Credited with inventing the game, England's footballing fortunes have crashed as the beautiful game became more popular around the world and her players were increasingly shown to lack the necessary skills to play in the international arena.

The England manager broke the news to the press, "Over the years we have had our moments in the sun, but the recent game with France, in which we conceded two goals in the last minute to lose the match 2:1 was simply the last straw"

Players have expressed relief that they will no longer have to keep up the pretence of possessing world class skills, "It's been a nightmare" said team captain David Beckham, "the constant pressure to keep coming up with plausible injuries to explain our lack of talent has been a real strain on myself and the team".

England is expected to formally withdraw from the European Cup later today, it's players are said to be looking forward to returning home where they will concentrate on creating a new ball based game that nobody else knows how to play, a spokesperson added that this time England will take care to make sure the game is as dull as possible to discourage it's adoption by other nations.

At least his nose is big enough to do a save! =) Playing like with Bartez in the goal is like walking a thin line over the deepest gorge of hell

Allez France! Arash!

Finally he made up for his monaco mistake

Hehe, it looks as if this could have been written generations ago by someone setting out for the new world, where he'd later invent... all those North American, ahem, sports.

Anyway, weren't we playing bowls? Whose go is it?

S**T.

That's about it.
I'm from France and it really sucks that I switched the TV off after 85 minutes of match to go smash my head on the wall.
Why didn't I see it? Why didn't I see it? Why didn't I see it?

I knew France sucked but from what I've heard that english team sucked really bad in the end. Maybe it was a tactic from the french team to look like they are trying to suck as much as possible and score when the english engage them in the sucking contest.
