Damn... I really wanted the Germans to win (for the first time in my life) so we could finally set the record straight after they stole the championship from us in '74.
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again...

You've got some ancient history with the Spanish as well though.

True, but I wasn't there at the time :)

If you watched the game, you'll know how it went, and if you didn't you probably don't care :)
Either way, this thread has probably been as entertaining as half the football, so we're all winners.

I quite enjoyed it; I was pretending that the Spanish, in their dark-blue strips, were Scotland. Of course the illusion was destroyed when they got the ball, but still ...

I have created a new Facebook group: Boo the England players when they play their games this season!

Let's see how many people we can get to join the cause!

Ah well, that's enough sports for another 4 years
(Super Bowl parties don't count, as my social circle is more than likely to mute the actual game and talk, and only watch the new commercials)

Ah well, that's California for you... the only place where they make an annual ritual of 'mooning' at trains.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Single malts... lowland, highland or island? When I was a whisky drinker, I favoured the island malts, especially from Islay.
Back from vacation, back to work, yeay ;-) I recall I had a Talisker first and then 2 Macallans. Good stuff.

*sigh* me too, and more or less for the same reason. Would have loved to play Italy in the finals :twisted:

Me too, but unfortunately...
Sorry, but our team deserves defeat. We're neither the shadow of the team who won the World Cup in the 2006.
My ship list:

Cobra MK 3 - Lepka
Dragon M - Smaug
Python - Boa Pitonato
Cobra MK 3 - Lepka II
Now in a Python ET Special - Shark Panzer

Ah Talisker, from the Isle of Skye… very nice. If you like a smooth malt, try Isle of Jura sometime.
If you like a real ‘peaty’ malt, try Bruichladdich from Islay.

That applies to England as well. What I don't understand is how England have risen one place in the FIFA rankings.
I guess that's FIFA for you. Still, it's the Euros next.

Islay Malts, my favorite subject. :D For the ultimate, you'll have to find a bottle of Port Ellen, preferably at cask strength. The distillary is sadly no more, so these gems are scarce and expensive, but...well it's just the Best Malt Whisky, ever, anywhere.
