Best not to let it get you worked up... I have lost count of the number of times people have called me English despite my strong Irish (Dublin) accent.

LOL, I'm sure they would... it would bolster their own chances of making the finals.
I always support England as it would be fool hardy after living here so long not to do so, (exception being if they are playing Ireland of course)

I am tired of these threads ending up in these silly and juvenile theatrics that you and others want them to be. You have accused me of being a know-it-all. If I were I would not be,at 8am in the morning typing a response to you on a chat forum.
You then call me a coward (this is the internet. No heroes no cowards) if I decline to post.
If you were civil at least, I would try to respond to you. That does not seem possible.
So if you want to try to denegrate me,do so. You will just be showing everyone else how shallow you are.
As to your point about the Malvinas (Falklands) and Argentina and to ownership. You are going down a slippery slope as to ownership of specific points on a map. Conquering and overtaking are not the same as rightful ownership."Believers that socialism is a one aspect theory are deluded and do not comprehend it"

Again, this debate is starting to raise it's ugly head again as the EU wants to insert itself into sports."Believers that socialism is a one aspect theory are deluded and do not comprehend it"
