America's always tried to do down Britain

After Saturday, when Tom is crying in his beer, then we'll be "doing down" Britain. And they'll be all embarrassed and stuff for losing to Americans.

I think you'll find you'll be eating your nice little masonic hat, sir.

Mind you, the football will be a better contest than this round of 'Oil Company Top Trumps' that i'm finding hard to care about.

Well, I may eat my hat, but only because it's made of nachos... I think we should make a bet of it, you'll owe me a dinner at Ramsay's restaurant next time I hop the pond and me... Well, the USA isn't going to lose so I won't owe you anything.

:D

I cannot countenance anything but victory for Fabio Capello's boys of blood and iron.

I also find it not a little galling that, should the unthinkable happen and the US fluke a lucky win, aided by a corrupt referee, then it will amount to a grievous assault on my very soul. Whereas if England slaughter the American upstarts 3 Americans will be slightly miffed for five minutes.

If the Americans do what Americans do just by force of habit (beat the British), I'll make sure to mock you mercilessly along with the other two Americans who will be slightly miffed if the Brits somehow pull a reverse out of their nacholess hats.

Thanks, Damo. Your kindness has touched even this icy soul.

Although we have taken pity on the American nation by refusing the help of the Welsh, Irish and Scotch, selecting only English gentlemen (and Wayne Rooney) rather than appearing as a British team. Aren't we kind?

Although, i have a feeling i may be "called away urgently" if such a terrible upset were to occur.

When it looks like, walks like, and acts like a duck then I usually call it a duck, even if the company's name formerly had the word "British" in it, or even if they formerly had "American" in it...

It's weak to say that Americans are trying to "pass a buck" that you are desperately trying to pass and for what? National Pride in a company formerly named "British Petroleum"? Give it a rest Tom, that kind of nationalistic pride is just sad. Nobody here is blaming Britain, even the President isn't; just a company that even you said doesn't even have the word "British" in its name any longer.

I haven't heard one person I have spoken with about this spill blame Britain at all.

Just goes to show you the media in the UK is just as hysterical as ours.
 
Tom & Charver: If the US wins, I think it would be the perfect time for me to come out there and land a hot, demoralized, yet secretly impressed, British babe. If England wins, send one out my way as a long-term guest whose hell-bent on further domination.

That is all.
 
English football at its absolute finest.

I agree that Abbey pwns all (the competition isn't even competitive), but it should go England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia. Our girl Christina is a bit prettier than Manel...

Of course, for a Brit, Abbey is a bit flat, sporting only a C-cup. Please try not to let your nation's standards slip into the gutter, old boy.

I loved that last sentence about slippery hands. Well done, Sun!!

If Green were an American, he would have blubbered on, and blamed everyone and their mother before acting like a man as Green did. Of course, our athletes that compete at the World Cup and Olympics are usually more honorable than the types we watch on a daily basis.

True that. It's just weird that they'd have that reaction. Nobody is blaming Britain, other than in some over-sensitive British imaginations.
 
.....His rabid denunciations of BP have damaged the interests not only of that company but of most British people, in a way that must make us wonder whether he leads a friendly country

And since when does an oil company become the defacto representation of an entire nations population?

Nowhere has Obama denounced the British people...he has been VERY specific in pointing to what company is responsible. So Wheatcroft's attempt at jingoistic journalism can be used as so much toilet paper.

The US press (well, at least the progressive/alternative part of it) have been raising hell regarding the deregulation shennanigans of the Bush/Cheney and Clinton/Gore administrations that has allowed BP to cut the corners that led to this disaster. And ALL press sources are speculating on eye witness reports of just who is calling the shots during the correction/clean-up process. Mr. Wheatcroft should have purused some more than usual US news sites before he slapped on his Union Jack tinted glasses and his fingers hit the keyboard.
