Is that one of those ridiculous army recruitment advert style chants like that cringeworthy "I believe that we will win" nonsense?
Sure seems to fit the mould.
Edit: just seen the link. Oh dear.

I don't know you, but your sig line to play on that really shitty idea that American football should be referred to as "egghand" or whatever else just makes me want to ignore everything you say. However, I'll just take it with a grain of salt and try to judge each comment on an individual basis. I doubt many of them will be quality though.
As to your actual comments, sorry that we had a chant take hold of a large portion of our country. Sorry that we actually had some hope and energy. What was it like in England during the World Cup? The US was actually pretty fun for a change.

It's not a shitty line and you only want to ignore it because you know it's true.
In what warped sense of logic does a sport that revolves around running with/throwing an egg with your hands take precedence of the name 'football' over a much older sport that is actually built entirely on the idea of kicking a ball with your feet. It's a ridiculous notion and you know it.
I know it's the name you gave your egg race game over there, and it's just what you know, but it makes about as much sense as calling a car a bike and a bike a car.
No need to apologise to me, it should be the other way round. I know how much we'd hate it if a load of bandwagoners jumped on for the ride and embarrassed the nation with the most pompous chant ever. So you do have my sympathy, we get our match days ruined by idiots who are more intent on sitting down spectating rather than supporting the team and creating an atmosphere, and they complain about those of us who do as they claim we 'spoil their view' or 'make them feel uncomfortable' or some kind of drivel that was previously only expected of a Frenchman.
As for the World Cup, it was great fun like usual whilst it lasted, pubs and bars filled up with the usual rowdy crowd, the usual repertoire of traditional chants took hold of the whole nation again, we all looked back in hope to that time we won the World Cup. It was all fun and games, shame it came to a premature end, but as a massive football nation the rest of the World Cup was still great fun as there was some excellent football on display. We have 2016 to look forward to now with a huge group of very talented youngsters coming through the ranks at their clubs.
Not to forget the biggest league in the world is not far from starting. That's what we're really looking forward to.

It's still a ball, just like a Rugby (ya know, another version of "football") ball. It is a strange name, just as it is that rugby is called football. That does not mean calling it "handegg" or whatever else is clever or true. The roots of rugby football, association football, and American football are all in the same evolutionary line of games (with rugby and American football being much closer relatives obviously). So yes, it is a shitty "line" to try and mock American football. The game has evolved away from the use of the feet as a common method of moving the ball, but that does not mean you're clever by repeating tired "handegg" shite.

Embarrassed the nation? Far from it. Sure, some found it annoying, and it did get overdone at times. It was still a fun rallying cry, and a damned good example of how Americans support our country even if the sport itself is not hugely important to them. I'd rather have overly obnoxious bandwagoners than spectators who know the game like the back of their hand but show no energy or passion for it.

Man, you're so right. I wish we used the same chants over and over. I'd hate if innovation was ever a fun way to add some new spice to things. I'd also hate to see people who normally don't care about a sport get fired up and excited about it. That would be a damned shame. Though, it is genuinely good to hear that failing miserably in your group did not dampen your ability to enjoy a great tournament.

Cute cop-out. Saying EPL is "what we're really looking forward to" like the World Cup was inconsequential. That's pitiful. I love watching the EPL, but the World Cup is still the epitome of association football fandom and the premier event in the sport.

Welp, looks like we have another crap poster here.
Posted on 7/21/14 at 3:32 pm to LSUMJ
It's not really a cop out, we're out of touch with our national team. Primarily because the last load of managers since Hoddle would struggle to organise a piss up in a brewery, players are picked based on who they play for rather than how well they've been playing, the FA are a corrupt bunch of clowns who don't care about anyone outside the top few clubs,the players are, for the most part, a bunch of overpaid tossers. I could go on.
We just have more affinity with our local clubs, and you see fans of other clubs about to gloat at etc. I'm sure the majority of you care more about your local NFL clubs than you do about the American NFL national team?
I personally also disagree about international football being the pinnacle of association football. There are a few good teams but they're all limited on which players they can use and all the best national teams are lacking somewhere. They also only train together for a tiny part of the football calendar.
Club teams, on the other hand, have freedom of choice with players, they train and play together all year round so work better as a unit. Clubs are also the ones responsible for bringing through all the new young players that the World Cup gets to boast at some point. Not to mention our FA cup is an older competition as well.
So regardless of any success, or lack of, for the English national team, I regard club football as the pinnacle and lifeblood of the game, and care more for it. International football is an exciting novelty, but nothing more than a novelty. Club football would survive perfectly well without a World Cup or regional championship, but international football would be nothing without the clubs feeding it.

I never said international play is the most technical or more skillful than club play. I agree that club teams are much better than international squads. However, as a fan, I think most people are much more invested in how a national team plays. That's why I said it is the epitome of "fandom" not "ability" or "skill".
Your comments about club vs. international and which relies on the other to continue is silly. Of course international play would falter and likely die out without club play. If a country does not play a sport, how can it ever hope to field a national team? It would be like asking the UK to field an American football team. Of course it will suck because very few (if any) people in the country play the sport seriously.

It is silly if it's obvious and not at all related to the point you were trying to argue against.

You lot all seem to make the mistake that we actually give a crap about England under performing, as if it's something new.
It's like asking an Arsenal fan if they enjoyed the title race.
