so i'm listening to german radio in preparation to my great departure, and this german radio station is playing "three lions". i had to stop and make sure i wasn't 'cheating' by listening to the beeb.

sehr merkwuerdig.

[Sidders]

Really?? Do they actually know what the song's about?

[Uglybob]

germans sang it at the end of euro 96 when they won it as a piss take because the trophy was coming home... to germany. see irony isnt lost on them

[Ahh_Pathetic]

its always been a curse waiting to happen that tune. waiting for eternity.

[Golden Syrup]

they'll be playing vindaloo next

[kendra k]

the germans actually really like that song. when i was wearing a home made vindaloo shirt, all the germans went nuts for it.

[Sidders]

Crazy. They nick our game, then they nick the songs that go with it.

[kendra k]

and they're better at it than you are. HAHAHAHA

[Aaron]

5-1 is all I can say.

[kendra k]

and how many world cups have your football team won? who made it to the finals?

[Uglybob]

10 posts and noone mentions beach towels

[Aaron]

and how many world cups have your football team won? who made it to the finals?

Just the one. This has nothiing to do with this topic but..

Did you know that England is the only country to win both the rugby and football world cups?

[MC]

fascinating.

and how many world cups have your football team won? who made it to the finals?

germany may have made it to the world cup final through a freak draw, but they are still the worst german team in history. During the knock out stages last year they played those piss poor sides such as THE USA and that's why they got through.

I can't think of one of their players who'd get in the england first team and hopefully we'll get the chance to f*cking whip their arses again next year or if not in 2006...

[Ahh_Pathetic]

yeah an the germans used to have two sides... now thats just cheating.

west germany in 1990 were the last side to actually dominate an fully deserve to win the world cup.

[Sidders]

Maybe we should have North England and South England. The Norh would be better.

[MK Chris]

Would it bollocks, the North is welcome to you for a start.

[Ahh_Pathetic]

we should have an all star game like america. its the only good idea in american sport.

[Sidders]

Would it bollocks, the North is welcome to you for a start.

You're a bit of a lame Newcastle fan arn't you? Most of the best players are northern if you think about it.

[MK Chris]

Uh, point taken. In general though (not in football), the south is better than the north...

[kendra k]

all star games a lame as they don't count for beans.

[Aaron]

Ive only ever watched one and that was last years NBA one. I think the ideas alright.

[kendra k]

the most televised ones are the NBA and MLB ones, NFL is way after the season in hawaii, and the NHL, well, nobody watched hockey.
