        There sure is. Hopefully they'll do better than in '98

            Same here but we often make quarters/semis. To be honest I didn't realise the US had qualified again. They'll probably be knocked out pretty quick but the fact thay they've qualified again shows the team must slowly be getting stronger. Just gotta hope it doesn't get too strong as the buggers seem to win a good chunk of every other sport - we don't need them winning football (soccer) tornaments too

                Liechtenstein...take it to the bank
                Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

                  England has a very good chance this time

                  My only worry is what time of the morning I have to start drinking beer to watch the games.


                  Come on England

                      That England's gonna throw it away

                                Not those two fuckwits!

                                Even though 3 Lions was for Euro 96, I'll be playing that.

                                  I hear Fat Lez is releasing one too. Hopefully that'll get the airplay instead.

                                      The saggy old cloth cat refs I keep making will confuse most non-UK people but I've just sort of re-discovered him and decided that the world will be a far better place if the were more Bagpi (wonder what the plural of Bagpuss is?). No idea whos site it is though but it does the job

                                          I can feel my hatred towards the English brewing already.

                                          There was an advert on tv today saying "buy Fifa World Cup 2002 game and win the world cup for England".... And the English wonder why us Scots hate them...

                                            In the paper yesterday there was a story about the new Glasgow Celtic CD which is to raise money for a cancer charity. Woolworths won't be stocking the cd because they say it is "too Scottish". They are however stocking Ant & Dec's English world cup cd in all it's stores in Scotland.

                                            Damn I hate England.

                                                Did you hear that the UK Post Office has had to recall their latest stamps with pictures
                                                of English football players on them.
                                                People couldn't figure out which side to spit on.


                                                Q. If you see an English football fan on a bicycle, why should you never swerve to hit him?
                                                A. It could be your bicycle.


                                                Q. What do English football fans and sperm have in common?
                                                A. One in 3,000,000 has a chance of becoming a human being.


                                                Q. What do you have when 100 English football fans are buried up to their necks in sand?
                                                A. Not enough sand.

                                                Q. What's the difference between a dead dog on the road
                                                and a dead English football fan on the road?
                                                A. There are skid marks in front of the dog.

                                                Q. You're trapped in a room with a tiger, a rattlesnake and Jimmy Hill.
                                                You have a gun with two bullets. What do you do?
                                                A. Shoot the Jimmy Hill - twice.


                                                Q. What's the difference between the English and a jet engine?
                                                A. A jet engine eventually stops whining.

                                                          Even homos in this country dont like soccer.

                                                          Only 40 year old soccer moms, lesbians, and 8 year old girls like soccer in the USA.

                                                          And those fruitcakes who love Oasis and Britpop that everyone hates.

                                                              USA has a soccer team? Why? Ive never met anyone that likes it. How could someone expect someone else to sit around and watch grown men kick a ball back and fourth for 4 hours to and have the score end up 1-0.. as it always does... i can barely stand watching hockey, about the same idea, but is alot faster, they have weapons, people occasionally score, and once a game you get to view replays of someone spitting out blood/teeth.

                                                              Hide a fucking landmine on the field, at least give us a shot at seeing something of intrest.
