you fools are too moronic for me to debate with.
reading your posts does make me laugh.
have fun living in your little dream world.
I frequently marvel at what an insipid dolt you are. I am equally amazed how you insist on manipulating the 'truth' to meet your own ends.

It is interesting to me how much this and other forums on the site are dominated by the English.
There are 42,000 players flying the US flag on this site and only 4100 flying the English flag + 14,000 flying the Union jack.
Yet, in this forum, (and every other forum as far as I can tell), the English out post every other nationality by 4 or 5 to 1.
...[text shortened]... why their sports teams are so poor. Rather sit around typing than go outside and get physical.

Originally posted by Red NightAnd when will Scotland win one or for that matter get out of the group stages?
And therein lies the point. The big teams, as you like to call them, have performed poorly the last several cups.
US will win one before England wins another. US may win two or three before England wins again. England may never win again.

Originally posted by Red NightPortugal is a powerful soccer nation with some of the best players in the world. And Italy was actually one of the favourites to win.
Portugal? Australia? Who picked Italy to win going in? There was a lot of variability in this one.
Obviously, you know nothing about football.

Originally posted by StarrmanFootball then rugby, possibly cycling is more popular than cricket as the Tour de France proves every year, in spite of its dark side.
Lol, not hardly. Cricket is probably the second biggest sport in the world, football (not that NFL rubbish) coming first.
Baseball probably just about makes it into the top ten if you're lucky.

I personally believe Red Night is just a tad short sighted in his views, but I have noticed a giant sway in this forum towards "English Football."
Representation on this site should favor American sports, but it doesn't. North America holds the vast majority here as far as chess players go.
I see many cricket games here in Florida as we have a very large Caribbean population. However, the game looks silly to me, and awkward. It looks more like a fashion show, and happenstance.
I haven't figured it out. 😕

My post was straight forward.
Are you confused?
What's the problem? People post on the threads they want to post on. I don't read american sports threads - you don't have to read european sports threads. If you want to talk about something, hit the 'new thread' button.
Edit: note that the football seasons and cup competitions across Europe are coming to a close this month, so there is bound to be a lot of posting on this subject. I can promise you there will be a lot less through June/July due to little happening 🙂

I bet they even have adverts and popups every 3 posts on the American discussion threads.
