in England v U.S.: Why Brits Hate U.S. Soccer Fans on EPL Talk
Thanks T for your support, reading back now what i said, i sound very angry.... Sorry about that, i should have worded it differently!
And jm i certainly see your point, i was trying to dumb it down to a typical Englishman's point of view, Referring back to The Gaffers reasons in why the English may be slightly more hospitable towards Americans when it comes to football talk. As pathetic as it is, a small minority may feel that soccer is not the right name for the game, being that when football was first invented, it was named, football. Many people feel as a result, the name soccer is branded as an Americanized term for a game that was always originally called football by pretty much every other nation (except you aussies ;) ), so why change it?
Its a very petty argument, but one that seems to never end. At the end of the day, its just the same game, same ball and same rules.
I was just trying to shed some light on the whole reason Americans feel neglect from their English counterparts!
;)

in England v U.S.: Why Brits Hate U.S. Soccer Fans on EPL Talk
First off, we don't hate you, just stop calling football "soccer", its FOOTBALL, we use our feet to kick the ball, thats why the rest of the world calls football, but you Americans have to call it soccer, why? because of your game called football, where the only time you kick the ball is for field goals, punts and kickoffs? Also we are ENGLISH not "Brits".
most of the reasons you have stated are completely untrue.
Id also like to refer to this statement;
"While this afternoon’s friendly between the United States and England has little meaning on the international level, a lot of pride is at stake. If England loses, their fans will chalk it up to a meaningless friendly..."
This is not true, no offense but do some research on English fans before you write your report, if England lose, we wont "chalk it up" to a meaningless friendly, it will be down to Capello, alot is at stake over this game for the English, Capello needs to prove himself that he can do the job. But then again i doubt you guys even know who Fabio Capello is?
Seriously, do some research before writing.
And Doug, i love the way you presume The English are like this, seriously, how many English people have you come across, or is it all what you see on tv or read on the internet...tshh, This, for example...
"This is nothing new - England has looked down its nose at the rest of the world for generations, and not just about soccer..."
You sound like the typical naive, arrogant American that would make people from Europe, not just England look down on YOU. The fact is, the English like the idea of FOOTBALL being played at a higher and higher level in america, it makes it more exciting to watch, lets players from the Americas develop their game of football and hopefully integrate the skills produced in the MLS into the european game. I, no doubt as does most English people, believe that in a few more years, if the US keeps progressing the way they do, they will become one of the worlds best, If Americans can see past there own ignorance. And i for one cannot wait to see what greatness can come out of America.

My comment is not only referring to your recent post. It is about your entire blog. I have to say that I really like your approach of marketing as a service. And identifying the iphone as a human to digital interface is just right and brilliant.
You guys are saying the right things at the right time. Thanks for spreading your thoughts.

And unless you actually define 'pray!' somewhere this can't possibly work out, because - as strange as a limitation of a/the GodController may seem - you'll get a 'stack level too deep' error.
Apart from that... Did you notice that, if you abbreviate GodController you'll get GC - GarbageCollector? ;-)

in Recension: Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on Bloggywood
Jag håller med, som en recensent skrev, det känns som en snabbmatsmeny med extra allt. Man vet vad man får och det är lite extra av det som gick hem i första filmen.
Håller även med om att Stellan är bäst.
Bästa kommentar i filmen, "Hey Fish face"

in Trailertips: Hollywoodland on Bloggywood
Tjena,
Den där filmen har jag hållt ögonen på sedan jag såg titeln första gången. För att sälja marken kring Hollywood så ställde man på 20 talet upp en rad bokstäver på en kulle som bildade HOLLYWOODLAND. Sedanemer restaurerade man man dessa skyltar senare men då skrev man bara HOLLYWOOD eftersom hela området och alla dess tomter var sålda.
Jag är inget fan av BEN AFFLECK men här kan han faktiskt vara lika bra som i Will Hunting som är hans senaste bra film.

in Bond-trailern nu på engelska! on Bloggywood
Absolut att det finns Bondfilmer som vävs ihop, så här på jobbet hinner jag inte tänka igenom fullt ut.
Men i Diamantfeber jagar Bond sin frus mördare som blev mördad i filmen innan vid namn I hennes majestäts hemliga tjänst.
I Die another day besöker Bond Qs arkiv och ser massa gamla saker som han har nyttjat.
I förtexterna till I hennes majestäts hemliga tjänst ser man scener ur samtliga Bondfilmer innan.
Jaws är samma karraktär i både Ålskade Spion och Moonraker.
hmmmm vad finns det mer??
Alla dubbelnollor har olika namn. Jag är bergbom säker på att man efter 20 filmer inte har för avsikt att plöttsligt påstå att olika människor tar på sig identiteten James Bond Agent 007.

Som föredetta ordförande i den svenska James Bond fan clubben (som sommest var vi 300 medlemmar) så tycker jag att det är en av de snyggaste teaser affischerna för en Bondfilm.
