2005 - England 2-1 USA - Kieran richardson double ( Proves just how ****e the USA are because he is a shocking player

2009 England 2-0 USA

2010 England 1-1 USA


All the cheering in america because you managed to draw against a very un organised and off form england side... some of you even thought you won the game.. pathetic :joker:

2009? is that the year of the Confederations cup... the year Team USA beat Spain 2-0 and then went on to face Brazil for the gold medal match and barely lost 3-2? Remind me again how far England got in that tournament?

We didn't Qualify because the best team in the world won Euro 2008, meanwhile USA Qualified playing teams that over here would be classed as pub teams ( Panama, El Salvador, Trinidad and Tobago, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras ) Awful standard.. the only teams that the USA can possibly beat..

England play the big boys to Qualify for major international tournaments.. Netherlands, Spain, Germany,

Oh look ^ The Winner, the runner up's and third place winners there. come back when you actually play decent competition and actually win the world cup.. that will be never.

oic, so playing and beating the full strength Spain team is not playing a quality side?? are you listening to yourself right now?

Novo meet reality, Reality meet Novo.

Now you have been introduced. no more excuses.

It's really not though. You are bringing a xenophobic ridiculous argument that The ENGLISH OWN the entire english language. So i'm using an equally xenophobic and ridiculous argument to defend the counterpoint.

English is a hodge podge of a language. It wasn't created from scratch. English is a combination of greek, latin, french, spanish, american, indian, australian words and many many more.

The English language was not an INVENTION. It's a patchwork.

A full strength Spain team would include Iniesta.. so you are wrong there since he didn't play in that game... so i think it's time you should meet Reality.. you clearly aren't good at discussing football.. I could go on and on about all the time England thrashed Germany 5-1 ( Much more impressive victory then the USA's ) but i won't.. oh i could also throw 66 in there as well... oh wait i already did :)

All in all, you speak it and it's still called English.

Not really much else to it.

There is though. There is a lot to it. It's really interesting if you ever bother to learn about it.

This is total BS. first cause yur in LA, which has some of the lowest obesity rates in the developed world.

I can understand the stereotypes about Americans in rural areas in texas, or arkansas, but to compare california to britain, California does not even COMPARE to the UK. The UK is WAAAAY fatter than California.

The USA AS A WHOLE IS FATTER (JUST BARELY) THAN THE UK, but the UK IS fatter than California.

Novo 07-01-2011 08:17 PM

Poor Arista, getting squashed by a load of fat american men in the food store... I hope you sorted them out Arista.. gave them some good healthy british food that they need so much over there :)

arista 07-01-2011 08:18 PM

"which has some of the lowest obesity rates "


Maybe but in Ralphs it was full of Fat Feckers

If you've ever been to a Ralph's, you'd know how gigantic they are. I assume he is being sarcastic. Ralph's is the size of an aircraft hanger.

I know all about that. Anything you've done to the language has not been beneficial, just your own yank way of spelling things.

I'm not talking about what we(Americans) have done to the language, i'm talkingf about the origins of the language.

The ENGLISH DID NOT INVENT the english language., what, you think it's just coincidence that you use the same 26 letter alphabet, you think it's just coincidence that so many words are the same or similar in spanish and french and greek?

The English didn't INVENT the English language.

The English perverted and evolved other languages the same as Americans, or Australians, or Canadians, or South Africans do.

Vicky. 07-01-2011 08:22 PM

In LA it seems everyone is either anorexic or obese. No inbetween with them D:


In fact, when I went to florida on holiday, it was the same there...

When did I ever say the English invented it? I just said it's called English and you speak it :tongue:
