Incognito Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It must hurt you, that. Not as much as it would hurt you to see Ireland qualify Just another foreign country to us. No different from any other. You can't say the same about us. Not another foreign country to Ronaldo, he fucking hates Ireland I'm fairly sure you're flattering yourself somewhat there I'm not and I'd say he would probably admit he hates Ireland or at least has a dislike for Ireland I'm a proud Brit and obviously react to anti-British nonsense from the Irish but I really don't dislike Ireland more than any other European country. I love Father Ted too and some of that was actually filmed in Ireland, so goes the rumour. There you go triggs. Just as I said. It's a fact of life that England or Britain are far more important to other nations than they are to us. Everybody and everyone raises their game to play us. Are you serious? That must be why you can't win anything, because teams raise their games against you, not because your players aren't good enough fuck sake Also, I don't see how that has anything to do with my opinion that Ronaldo dislikes Ireland We've already established he doesn't dislike Ireland and that he finds Ireland as inconsequential as any other Englishman. We though are the major object of you're ire. You're much like Middlesbrough. As a country I mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Every other nation sees England for exactly what they are; an extremely average side who are unpleasing on the eye. Some bollocks on you to post such arrogant drivel. It's not just now. It's a historical thing. I didn't expect someone of your intellect to understand tbf.

Mr. Snrub Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Not at all, I don't have a problem with England. But can't be having someone basically saying "We finished bottom of our World Cup group without a win because we're too good." And how can it possibly be a historical thing when you have won bugger all in 50 years? Didn't even qualify for the World Cup back to back in the 70s and in 94.

Incognito Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Im sure it's to do with us English actually inventing these games. Association Football, Rugby Union and League and Cricket. It's where you see the most not hatred but a raise of their games by opposing countries.. You'd appreciate what Im saying if tarmacking became an International competitive sport.

SEMTEX Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 When you've got 5 nations so closely linked, and only 1 of those actually qualifies for tournaments, I imagine it is a factor in the growth of the already gargantuan chip on the shoulders of citizens of the lil' nations.
