Never said I loved my government, but show me one that is perfect.

Sure turn the oil spill around and blame the Americans EMPLOYED by BP. All we have heard from is the Chairman - who, correct me if I'm wrong is British. Well I guess we are going to have to wait for the oil spill to STOP before you compare it to other spills. Apparently the effect the spill is having on the Gulf of Mexico with regard to ecology, biology, wildlife, people, business isn't a concern compared to BPs concern about the distribution of the upcoming dividend to its shareholders.

Like I said, I could dig and dig and dig and come up with England's failures, but, who cares? More problems in the here and now that need to be addressed, not argue things that have affected the world that can't be changed. Face it, England has it's unglorious history, but you need to live in the present, not the past.

The mere fact that you were able to comprehend any of it is amazing, considering all of your inflictions.

America, on the other hand, despite its brief history and the diversity its people, has risen to rule the world. It has now become the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, economically, technologically and militarily.

So either stop being jealous and get over it (and deal with your own problems) or keep on dreaming of your lost past (and fall further into the abyss of history).

Like or not, America, despite its pitfalls, now rules the entire world!!!

I suggest you move out of the way and learn to live with it!!!!

And some would say that China is slowly taking over.

Don't forget you curry munchers.

If I may quote John Oliver:
Gone are the days when England imported the Indians to polish the cobblestones for their beggars.
They are never getting that back.

But you could always move to Dubai.

sure guys, btw u won't join the Brit guys here?

I see Bora's got nothing left than to stoop to personal attacks AGAIN - boooring - move along now! At least I have an excuse - what's yours? Oh wait you come from one of those red neck, inbred states don't you, where they're all buck toothed and like to roll around in the mud for FUN!

America has a long way to go that's for sure!

It wasn't a personal attack. I thought it was quite an achievement for you.

Do you know how you sound: at least I have an excuse - what's yours? Were you sticking your tongue out when you wrote that? Honestly Cocs, its very juvenile.

Good to see that it doesn't stop you from making your personal attacks. Feel better now??

You are the last one who should talk about teeth. It's a trademark you own.

And my parting words to you, if you don't mind, I'm going to use your words:

Well done to the Netherlands today, great game over Denmark.

Yup the Chairman is a Brit for sure

But the twats who f'ed up were yanks.

Now the Brit Chairman has to make excuses for them and publicly grovel to get it sorted- a great and proud man i would say. What does Mr Knobhead Obama do ?- blame everyone else and is about as much use as a sweeping brush on a beach full of oil.

What to do, they're never going to take the blame are they, it's far easier to fob it off onto others.

Whatever Bora, you use any excuse to bring stuff up, it's tedious. You're incapable of formulating a decent argument on this subject so you result to slagging off - kinda pathetic really.

I refuse to acknowledge you!

I mean, when Mattel had to offer a grovelling apology to the people of China in 2007 - after recalling toys manufactured in China, we had an inkling who really is wearing the pants in the relationship. And that was BEFORE the credit crisis!

Hey - DK, kudos on your excellent summary. May I have permission to quote it when young yanks start to get uppity here?

Cheers,
Shafique

Knock yourself out matey...and I can add a few more choice ones if you so wish!



Knight

Thanks DK.

I remember early on in this saga, Halliburton was mentioned as well as the fact that BP was leasing the rig from an American company. Did I imagine that these American companies were somehow also embroiled in this fiasco??

Cheers,
Shafique

erm what the heck has thisgot to do with football?

Next matches on the 18th: USA vs Slovenia - no contest really, should be an easy win for the USA.

England vs Algeria - I'd like to say again no contest, IF we bring in Hart to replace Green and get our act together.

Not the best of games, but effective.
Guess the Danish forgot that teams change goals after 45 min.

Elia was a revelation!

The Dutch always have a pretty strong team and they're good to watch, I hope they go far in this tournament.

Hi all, Halliburton were the Cementation contractors and Transocean, an American owned Swiss based company are the owners of the Deepwater Rig and both companies are releasing press statements regarding their "Liabilities" in the Deepwater Horizon incident.

Saw my first (for this world cup) St Georges cross çar flag today. A far cry from the dozens that were everywhere last world cup.

Must be the same one I saw today, 2 flags flying from the back windows.

They are in short supply this year.

Made in China.

Looks like you are right, hey what did you think of that ref. giving the South African Goalkeeper the red card, brave fellow I thought.

Brave !!!

Stupid more like. The ref will no doubt get a poison dart shot into his neck sometime this week.

No ref error until now during the WC. Hoping it stays that way.

Shocking actually and a tad stupid. He certainly won't last long. Bring back that weird looking Italian ref who reitred a few years ago, he was awsome!

On the flipside, if SA go out, does that mean we'll hear less of those dratted vuvuzelas? Here's hoping!

Its not the refs fault.
Áll Luis Suarez had to do was tell the ref that he wasn't touched. It was a simple decision for him. But he didn't do this, knowing that the video replays will expose his deception.
I can only assume that cheating is acceptable, but incorrect ref decisions are not.

The refs don't earn $80,000 a minute for bad acting and being able to roll around in seeming terminal agony because a blade of grass brushed their ikkle delicate padded shins.

But this is not cheating surely?
