Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales

[Rita_Poon]

In Irish, an Bhreatain is Brittany - where the original 'Britons' started.
An Bhreatain Mor is "Big Britain" and consists of Scotland England and Wales - GB in English.
An Bhreatain Bheag is Wales and means "Little Britain" - I kid you not
Separately, Scotland is Alba.
England is of course Sasana and English are Sasanaigh - Sasanachs in Scots dialect, which derives from Saxon.

So your ancestry is that of a little Briton Dave mate!!

I expect you to just support Everton.

Is what you're saying "scouse not english" then?

 

[davek]

It shows how much Everton have fallen when their fans start acting possessive of England wins...reduced to the level of Great Yarmouth fans depserate for reflected glory.

Is what you're saying "scouse not english" then?

Yes.

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Yes.

Oh you little tinker, you. Always on the wind up.

 

[PITA]

Dave, come on. He took a flying headbutt to the face and looked like he was seeing about ten referees. Forget the football... forget where it is...

On a personal level, his teammates should have taken one look at him and said, 'Off you go, lad'.

Are you suggesting that @davek has yet another agenda?

 

[PITA]

Got a 1-0 win all over it this

Dodgy Kane dive pen

Good shout.

My ancestry is Welsh.

Mine is Scottish, Welsh, German and Danish but I was born in England, as were my parents, so it's England for me.

….he’d be no medical expert, wrong to put that responsibility on a referee.

You don't have to be a medical expert to realise there's no way that goalkeeper should have been allowed to play on. A referee has the right to remove a player if he is bleeding - medical expert or not.

Referees are trained to recognise concussion etc - for me, it was that obvious that the referee allowing it to go on failed in basic duty of care. No doubt Iran's medical team did, but the ref is to blame too.

Piss poor all round.

They qualified ahead of the USA didn’t they? What a funny soccer nation the USA are.
