4-1

So out of an entire article dedicated to numerous matches that have served to fuel the ENG-GER rivalry for 80 years, you've managed to nitpick out a single sentence mentioning a game that took place 4 years before World War II, and then link a friendly game of football between soldiers that has nothing to do with the World Cup, or even World War II for that matter.
Wonderful.
Although, I guess it must be hard to read with your eyes always rolled back in your head.
Between your irrelevant nibbles and my entire article detailing countless football matches serving to fuel a football feud, I think I'll stick with the article.

 

Well, we shouldn't question what started it. Where else does it start than at the beginning? :coffee:

We're talking cause and concern here. Pray tell, don't enlighten me with where the rivalry has been apparent (all those matches), but instead offer me a solution as to where our competitiveness between nations has blossomed from?

Since the nazi's, it says so right there in the article, the first game played was the one that had 'stirred up the most controversy', and that was because of the political climate.


Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade, m'lad.

Please excuse me whilst I try to observe my giant, glorious brain

stoat

 

Kids these days, always following the next trend

didn't realize we were all that funny...

 

Breaking news! The England team have hired a new coach.

It'll be picking them up from Heathrow on Wednesday.

 

Seriously though, it's a game of football. That's all it is at the end of the day. Do we need to get so worked up at Germany because they won?

No, let's get worked up at them because people like Irminsul still refer to it as soccer omg

 

Um

 

Where? :willy_nilly:

 

It is soccer. Or at the very least kickball considering you need to kick it in to score a goal.
Rugby and stuff is real football cause you gotta cross a line by running, which is using your feet. They might use their feet in soccer, but they also think a tackle is kicking a ball from between someones legs and that's just a bunch of garbage so LOL. =]

 

I have no idea what kind of ideas these sentences are trying to convey.

 

A point well made.

 

Read it a couple of times
