  • Wow they have an England Bike Flag!
    Now I can look as stupid as all the car drives while I commute.
    Although I think the flag will be in my face while I'm on the drops

    I'm bored by the world cup already...

    Just waiting for the inevitable on-pitch cheating controversy, poor refereeing decisions, England going out in the quarter finals and off-pitch mugging of tourists.....

    It's going to be a long summer...thank God for the TdF.

    You don't need to buy a bike flag. One will be appearing shortly by the roadside for you to use.

    WOW that is tat!

    I'm going to confess to being a Scot who actually supports England (naturally I'll be keeping my real name and location secret in case the Nats come and throw me out of the country), and I'm really looking forward to the tournament.

    Though TBH I'm unlikely to buy and/or wear any of this stuff.....

    As an Englishman I'd love to see Scotland competing in the World Cup.

    Just 3 little words, and you've totally summed up the hype surrounding it.

    As opposed to Scots droning on and on about Bannockburn - tell me when was that?

    I am not a Scot, I just live up here. :) also i never heard anyone up here mentioned Bannockburn before. :oops:

    I don't mind England teams, I will support any national teams who has Liverpool's players in the squad. Just fed up of hearing 1966 being mentioned during world cup. :lol:

    Well we meet different types of scots then - wasn't there a Bannockburn banner at Wembley in 96 when England beat Scotland. Yes there was, as well as one informing me that Jimmy Hill is a poof.

    I've still got an unopened packet of white socks with the cross of St George on from last time.
    Time to get them out and start waving them.

    He's English alright, but I personally don't think he's much good (i.e England World Cup crap). He's a good passer, but can't tackle and has all the mobility of a pregnant hippo.

    I'm someone who clearly remembers 1966 and the decline and under achivement since then ( the Tomochevski, Gunther Netzer, Thomas Brolin, Dan Petrescu, Andy Moller moments etc etc etc etc).

    Love my football and have always supported my home team but won't bother even watching England this year.

    Oh by the way, all you Man Utd., Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool sycophants who weren't born anywhere near their grounds, you can support Brazil, Argentina, Spain and even Germany with a clear conscience - we'll understand.

    We under-achieved before 1966 too: England v Hungary 1953.

    If people have to buy England tat like flags, mugs etc for the World Cup please pop into your local Cancer Research UK shop and buy the stuff from the Bobby Moore Fund so some money actually goes to a good cause rather than money grabbing profit makers

    At that point Hungary were a little bit good...... just not recognised!
