If they are genuinely annoyed, well, that's really too bad and they can go and start a thread entitled "History of Sport" and post stuff inthere until they have a larger post count.

But....that smacks of effort man!

About what part?

That it's being hypocritical? Probably.

About post count? Doubtful.

Being a Spain fan must be a lot like cheering for the Cubs.

More like the Red Sox or sorts. The Cubs would be the Saudis or an equally craptastic team

-in reference to the quebeçios, not french people.

You know that's the first time I've heard that one, and I'm only an hour away from Quebec.

Then agian the divers are all stereotypically Euros if you asked anyone here, so I guess it all depends on prespective.

Most folks that I know actualyl say quite good things about ones from that area.

Sadly I would have no idea. It all tastes awful to me.

For those of us that don't know what has he "said and done" ?

Consideirng the way that Brzil has played, either it may be a bit of s prusise, or they're saving the best for the elimination rounds....and yes it will be pointless.

Tusinia as the group winners? That sounds......odd
