Makes me sick:
England lost a football match but Spain shamefully lost something far more important; Spain lost their right to be considered a civilised footballing nation.

" Spain lost their right to be considered a civilised footballing nation."

and when they lose they look for a scape goat instead of concentrating on why they are so shit

Where the monkey chants geared towards the black players?

Bollox.
There's no excuse for what happened there.Cant believe you guys are talking like "its ok" it was England to blame.
I don't give a shit about the game, it was a friendly for f**ks sake.
Damn.

Hey Chip, no one is condoning it. Calm down, just dont point the finger at Spainish football. It happens everywhere

my english is shocking
- Chip0
ok ok, sorry.
I'm just pissed off that this still happens at games, I really feel bad for those guys when they have to listen to that.
Sorry fellas, I'm heated... :)

no worries, its shite alright, but I think alot of them are used to it. Its not just targeted at black players either, Irish, Jews, the whole lots. The thug element of football hooigans are generally fascists
- Chip0
yeah, I reckon so.
Brings such a bad name to such a good sport.Oh well, back to work... I've calmed down now.

I wrote a load then, then my machine crashed :(
Anyway the gist was that is fucks me off that people target Englsih football as being bad. It's not. It cleaned up years ago. There still is a hooligan element, but they are banned from English grounds, but the EU wont extend that ban to Europe, because of civil liberties, hence scenes like Marsaille in world cup 98.
10 years ago I never would have taken a gril to a football match, but now I do, it's just so different to what it was.
Ive watched football in all over England and in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Wales, Holland and Portugal to name a couple, and by far and away the safest place to watch is the UK. We are the only country who dont cage people in.
What Italy gets away with is unbelievable. Just look at Roma. Stabbings, Racism, Murders, Corruption. Some parts of the San Siero are no go zones for police for fuck sake. Vieri had a restaurant that was burned down.
What happened in Spain is bad. but its a difficult one. John Barnes once said I just ignored it and when people saw me not rising to it it stopped. Henry et al (rightly so) get really visibly angry, which fuels it in my opinion.
In the UK they spot these people and ban them, in Italy and Spain they don't. Thats the problem.
Anyway back to work.

oh and it doesnt help having a Spanish Coach who makes Franco look like a moderate.
