Ha ha! I would support Ireland once we're out as I have lots of Friends there, but we can't due to France!!!!!

I have a Friend who is French and expects me to support if we're out, no way I say!

Have you seen these?

Did you see this one Saz

Haha! It was a Scottish friend that told me about the ABE stuff

I want England to do well, although I'm Welsh. I watch Premier league every week, and two of my team's players are in the squad, so I'll be rooting for them.
But I want France to go out at the first hurdle and there's a good chance they might.

I'm going to be rooting for:

Italy
Japan
Mexico
Nigeria
South Korea

It takes all sorts I suppose.
In the last lot I was lucky enough to see France beat Spain in Hannover. At the Hamburg Fanzone our French pals cheered for England against Portugal (though to be fair the cheating so and sos were turtelly castigated by then) and we cheered for France against Brazil and then all the way through the competition.
I would like England, The Fatherland, France, Nederland, or Spain to win.
For me..... anyone but Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, USA, or South Africa.

England, Ghana, France, Spain, Ivory Coast etc. ..anyone but Nigeria for me

Ah! You are also a French lover!  (as it were)

Oui, oui, bien sur  Have you seen your dialogue Mister Joe?

I don't care about any of them,loathe football and have a football free house...roll on BB!

Non! Obviousment je regard dans le wrong place. *points at own face and mimes opening a book* Is it something to do with this site?

If you hovver about the Live Cloud sign at the top...it may appear...you may see that you have dialogue 

Blimey! Took some finding! I didn't know that was there.
Bless you and the I feel the same about you.

That sounds very cryptic 

Garage and Suzy up a tree -  *whistlez*   

Allez les Bleus
For me my 'anyone but' list is (in no particular order) with reasons:
Portugal; Ronaldo, Mourinho, Nani and Carvalho - all people I despise
Argentina; Maradona - as above
Ivory Coast;  Drogba - as above
Nigeria - for many reasons.
Oh and Spain - they need taking down a peg or two. Fantastic to see our U17s kick their butts to win the Euros

For me I'm rooting for:

Ivory Coast
Spain
Argentina 
South Africa- more chance of snow in July but It'd be nice!! 

Hate to see win it-

Engerland..- sorry folks, I don't mind the English players but I DESPISE the English Media. 
Brazil- Stop being so Greedy
Portugal- Nani, nuff said
Germany- Hate them
and....

France...cheating bastards.

I feel I should support Nigeria, if England go out.
I get so many friendly emails from lovely Nigerian gentlemen.

Hiya Niamh 

Suzybean..you took that out of context there  

I'm sure that at least 50% of them originate from my wonderful neighbours considering the mind boggling amount of multiple ids they have

Well I hope France win..then every other team will feel as cheated as Ireland..just don't tell mr stonks....

My bad...sorry the Media...yeah

Whatever.

I honestly didn't see the Media bit...but you're right, and I agree with you for once Whatever 

Yeh, well I felt like you were having a dig there.

Ah! Don't be daft. I've told you straight out when I've found your posting offensive...I was just excited realising it was you. How's things? 

I didn't either Suzy until you said this and I scrolled back up.... my face was doing this

I feel baaaad Saz....sorry again Niamh 

Anyone but da meeja.

Tis Ok, suzy.

But seriously I hate the English Media, England would do far better if they media didn't blow up their already huge egos!   Last night there was a great programme on BBC3 about the top world cup shockers with the usual suspects, but after every clip Richard Bacon, said 'Had it not been for this incident England would have probably won the world cup' one of those was the Ronaldo getting Rooney sent of incident.. England would have no more won the world cup that year than ourselves!

However, kudos to Peter Crouch, one of the most level headed footballers about, don't think anyone can dislike him, he was good craic on it and he is good craic on Chris Moyles Quiz show.

Maybe, but it's also partly due to Ireland's players bottling it in front of goal, missing a hat full of chances that should have meant the handy goal was irrelevant. Ireland got what they deserved for missing all the sitters.

As for the ABE tshirts, weren't they trying to ban them at one point? As an English person and an England fan, I just thought they were hilarious. People should be allowed to wear what they want and support who they want! Afterall, people from Scotland, Wales etc don't have their home nations in the tournament so it at least gives them teams to cheer on.

I wouldn't exactly put it like that now Crunchy. Would you say England got what they deserved when Maradona famously hand passed the ball into the net?

Its quite gutting actually after seeing the group France got we could have had a real chance of getting to the 1/4 final stage...I suppose thems the breaks.

I got France in lal's sweep

Eh no ... cheating is still cheating last time I looked.

And yes for me this time round it's anybody but France

You could go into details of just about any football match then and say that the other team deserve.
What about the blatent penalty that France should have had in the same match that if awarded would have probably resulted in Shay Given being sent off for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity? In the laws of football, denying a clear goalscoring opportunity by fouling the opponent is seen to be just as bad if not worse than handballing. If the handball hadn't have happened and Ireland had have got through, would we all be saying Ireland cheated by getting away with a foul to deny France a goal?

Like I say, I've no sympathy what so ever to Ireland because they choked on at least 4 glorious opportunities to put the game to bed.  Oh and lets not forget, Ireland were never ahead in the tie, so weren't robbed of a place at all.

You do appear to be fixated on this alright and if you can ingore blatant cheating for that reason, then I suppose that explains your attitude.
