And didn't even flinch. Hard or what?

Personally I would rather take a shot in the pills than be hugged by Andy Carroll....Urrgghh!!

Changing club/national colours = Totally unacceptable. Aren't you a football fan? [&:]

Unacceptable to you. Kids playing in the street don't need these colours to play the game. And these kids represent the pure essence of football = play & enjoy, as opposed to some sort of nationalistic paramilitary activity [:D] The rest is irrelevant...

Yes, unacceptable to me - it was, of course, my opinion being voiced [&:].... As for the rest of your post above - sheer twaddle....what are you talking about?? Nationalistic paramilitary activity?? Are you Ron manager?

Kids in the park, jumpers for goalposts, isn't it? Marvellous.

The two games today are the final games from Group A and will feature:

Greece v Russia
Poland v Czech Republic

Current Standings: Russia 4 pts, Czech Republic 3 pts, Poland 2 pts, Greece 1 pt.

All the teams in the group can still quallify for the next round.

Russia will be through with a draw and they can even afford to lose their game tonight (providing they lose to fewer than 6 goals) if the Poland v Czech Republic is a draw.

Greece will be through with a win. Anything else and they are out.

Czech Republic will be through with a win. Could even progress with a draw unless Greece beat Russia by five goals or fewer.

Poland will be through with a win. Anything else and they are out.

Both matches are being played at the same time (1945 UK) which leaves me with the choice of which game to listen to. I fancy listening to the Greece v Russia game but could always change my mind in the next few hours.

Good luck to all the teams.

Best wishes,
Steve

At the border checkpoint:

- No, no, just visiting.

LOL. That's very good. [:D]

Nah, I am literally making fun of the nationalistic tone of your rant. Happy now? [;)]

You don't like non-national colours? I don't like the nationalistic tone aka the darkest side of football... as opposed to the naive kids playing for fun. Looks like you didn't get it...

Opinions which I am airing. I hope you don't mind. Wait, I'm lying. If you don't like it it's your problem [8D]

In which case, I either didn't explain myself sufficiently, or you have gotten completely the wrong end of the stick...[X(]

You don't like non-national colours?

Yep, that confirms it was the latter

I don't like the nationalistic tone aka the darkest side of football

...and my post had nothing to do with nationalistic tone - at least not of the variety you are alluding to.

as opposed to the naive kids playing for fun.

Good grief....we are back in Ron Manager territory

Looks like you didn't get it...

No - you completely misunderstood

Opinions which I am airing. I hope you don't mind. Wait, I'm lying. If you don't like it it's your problem [8D]

Er no. I have no problem with you airing your view - and if its the opposite of mine then so be it - no problem.

BUT

I DO however have an issue with you not understanding my post, and then, despite this, deciding to respond in that self-important, "don't tell me you didn't know this one (aren't you a football fan?)" type way. Then compounding this by going off into a "nationalistic paramilitary activity" type area [X(][X(]

Why are the French wearing all blue? Where's the white shorts and red sock malarchy? Why are England wearing all white with red, yes red trim? And what is that hideous blue excuse for an away kit? A few years ago the Italians mucked around with their shade of blue [&:]

I hate it when people change things like this. The Germans have more class - white shirts, black shorts and White socks no messing - it's tradition.

Right, open post to the FA and the French equivalent - show some respect for tradition, have some class and wear your proper kit or I'm going to get soojan to start hitting people....okay?

Right - just so we are clear:

The post had nothing to do with nationalistic colours - The German flag is Black, Orange and Red (they wear white and black), The Italian flag is Red, White and Green (they wear blue). The point is that the colours the national team wear, go back many years - in most cases to when the national associations were formed. They should stick to those - its TRADITION. BTW The English ARE wearing their national colours - red and white. But its WRONG - white and blue are the colours of the English football team.

Look at the colours they're wearing. I will look at the game. Fair enough [8D]

And nope, tradition would be using the really original outfit (well, there are two to avoid confusions) [;)] But of course that would mean less fruitful sales [:D]

Right, to tonights events and the nationalistic paramilitary....er sorry I mean the football...[;)]

In the Greece vs Russia game we have a full house going for the Russians, the scores ranging from 0-1 to 0-3. The Czech vs Poland game is more interesting though with the Ormster going for a Czech win, Dixie and Zeta fancying a draw, while the other four are hoping for a Polish victory. Four years ago neither of the host nations - Austria and Switzerland - got out of their groups. Will Poland (and, on Tuesday, Ukraine) go at least one better?

I wonder if the BBC will adopt that idea?...trouble is, even if they did, I wouldn't fancy looking at Michael Fish in a bikini...
