And don't be a chav and buy a Chelsea shirt straight off

Oh dear god, NO. Resist.

In anticipation of Sunday's (England/Germany) game - found a couple of things others might find as interesting as I did.

I think we'll have a better time beating Ghana!

Really? like last time when they beat you 2-0

[Justine+David 218]

Well, we don't give up! We have heart! Or whatever David had said about that...he said begrudgingly something about that it made for a good team working together that we scored in overtime and that England has a lot of good players but they don't work well together. I can understand that concept even if I'm more about other sports

And hey, apparently Italy was ranked really well and they ended up being in the bottom of their group!

The US lost to Ghana in 2006, but back then Italy and France were in the final and not choking out of group stage. It won't be an easy game, but I believe the US have every reason to believe they could make the quarter final.

The U.S. side is extremely fortunate to have won their group and avoid the more difficult side of the bracket.

Damn straight. I will of course be switching my allegiance to the US once England are inevitably knocked out by Germany.

She'll get over it.

I am in a shocking mood today anyway; feeling loose cannon-y. It's probably all the gin and Natty Light (ugh) I drank last night on an empty stomach.

Natty Light? Seriously? I think you'll have to drink gin from the plastic bottle brands now

I do not do that anymore, and we have discussed this at some length.

It was Tanqueray, at least. And when you ask for a beer and someone gives you one and it's a Natty Light and you are already 16.2 sheets to the wind, how do you say no?

[The_Dude 1,142]

I know, but it's natty light. There are few beers that I will say no to, but I always find the will power to say no to Natty Light, Milwaukee's Best, and Meister Brau. Those are below malt liquor in my opinion.

God, I cringe at the mere thought of gin from a plastic bottle. That takes me back to high school, the only time making that selection is actually acceptable, and that is only because you don't know any better at that point.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Yes, the US were very lucky England played like $hit....lol

Well, at least I've never had malt liquor so I can't honestly say whether or not what you say is true; I do have SOME standards. You on the other hand sound like you have personal knowledge in order to make that kind of comparison.

[The_Dude 1,142]

Yup, i've had my fair share of malt liquor. None recently. The stuff is ghastly. Makes Carlsburg Elephant seem like a respectable brew. I would still choose malt liquor over natty light though
