Soccer is a game for 22 or so overpaid bottom dwelling scumbags who think that kicking an inflated bladder about a field somehow entitles them to the entirely unwarranted adulation that the simpering hoardes of fuckwitted slatterns and slackjaws bestow upon them. In other words, it's not a real sport like rugby. So fuck them, and all who sail in them. However, we will not be talking about the rugby because some upstart nation of abo bothering convicts has tucked up dear old England again. The fuckers. Good thing I'm not bitter.
