when they would rather the Germans win the world cup than England
I'm sure that probably made sense in your head when you thought of it, but you might want to go away and have a little think about why it's a silly thing to say, p.
If one doesn't support any team, there is nothing to stop you being pleased by both Germany's exit and England's exit. It's not an either/or.
The last time Germany went out at the group stage Hitler was in charge (not of the football team). I bet he wasnt happy.
It does kind of take the shine of that result in Escape to Victory. Clearly that wasnt a great Germany team and the allies couldn't even beat them with Pele in the side.....
**spoiler** It was the Kevin O'Callaghan arm-breaking scene that did it for me. Not only did they put the poor lad in goal when he was a winger but then decided to smash his arm so the Yank could play. Dodgy management. Arsene* out!
*tbf he was more likely to be managing the Germans
One of the worse arm breaks out there...they weren’t fkin about back then imo
Crippler...doubt it was ever fine again.
I'd like England to win.
then again I do live in Essex now
I can't think of anything other than a Spurs fanzine that would publish that and why on earth would I be reading one of those?
And I don't hate any of those people for the person they are (other than Danny Rose I mean) I hate them because they play for Spurs. But when they play for England, they aren't playing for Spurs, so I don't hate them.
Perhaps being a rational, mature, adult male has biased my view.
Well The Mirror (under Piers Morgan) published this in 1998.
Attachment 946
And a truly rational, mature, adult male wouldn't care about football in the first place, you spastic.
Hmmm. That sounds like an attempt to try and fit the square peg of sport into the round hole of art. Art to me is a deliberately unpragmatic attempt to make sense of human existence. Sport, on the other hand, seems to me to be society's means of sublimating the natural competitiveness, aggression and athleticism of young men into a socially-acceptable form that also happens to be an enjoyable spectacle.
I think there is a definite crossover area. Consider the footballer who has trained his body to achieve the kind of balletic grace and control exhibited by Cruyff, Henry or Messi - this degree of exertion surely points to an individual seeking the truth of the human condition, much like, for example, the ballerina?
OK, but the footballer doesn't do this with the intention of looking good or making any point about anything. He does it with the narrow goal of winning a football match. Besides, in ballet, the dancers are just a tool - they're not artists in their own right. The 'art' lies in the writing of the music and the choreography. The dancing is just the technical physical expression of the art.
Are you saying you know more than Arsene Wenger, my friend? :driving:
