Just kidding, and it's no more funnier than it wasn't before.

Ahhhh ok. It's just that your complete lack of knowledge/interest in football (or as you may call it "soccer") means that your attempt at making a joke about it was always doomed to fail. Maybe you should stick to cricket jokes?! Or...erm...well just stick to cricket jokes ok?

(Or when you say "we" did you really mean Canada? In which case stick to jokes about ice hockey, or...erm...well just stick to jokes about ice hockey!)

He couldn't have meant Canada, we do understand Brits. Maybe he meant Pakistan.

BTW, when talking to a Canadian the word ice in advance of hockey is unnecessary... if it isn't on ice it isn't really hockey.

No, you got it right! I was referring to Pakistan. But I resent the footy comment! I love my European football; not a fan of a particular team but love a good match between Arsenal and Chelsea, or Inter vs. Juve, or Real Madrid vs. AC Milan. Oh yeah, I guess Manchester United is a team, too Sheffield who? lol

Actually hockey = "real" hockey, and ice hockey = well, ice hockey!

Actually it's a version of shinty.

This thread really has gone quite far from what I thought would be in it lol.

EDIT: Ahhh I see.

Noticed that Scotland dig George... least we didn't come 4th equal (basically)!!!

But really this highly negative attitude to your players don't you think when you're asking so much from them YOU should support them (ergo England) too?

It's not like I ever expected them to win the World Cup or anything! Only to qualify for a tournament! I know that might be asking a lot from your team but these players get paid as much as the likes of Ronaldinho and Kaka! In fact, I'm sure that the average Premeirship wage is the highest in the world. They're quite simply not worth that if they can't even qualify for a tournament. But in their own minds, I don't even think they care about being good or successful at football as long as they can fund their celebrity lifestyle. There should be a cap of £25,000/week (fuck me that's a stupidly high wage right there!) and thrown in they should get a business degree or PE techer training so they have something to fall back on when they retire if they don't go into coaching/managing. That'll stop the tossers thinking they're important when in fact they are among the most insignificant plebs in society (apart from Beckham and Rooney who actually seem proud to be playing for their country - something fayadeen doesn't understand given his severe lack of knowledge about football so he only knows David Beckham as a 'celebrity')

He's probably not even from Pakistan so the cricket jokes are probably lost on him! Altho I hear cricket has a following in Canada...
