World Cup

[JWL1957]

I dont watch soccer, but I would love to see the USA beat England today. ( prob not much of a chance). Then have each US player burn a small UK flag satnding in front of the UK bench...... just to piss off all the Liverpool fans/thugs.

funny... do that in the US and you go to jail... but it's OK to do that to other countries flags?

No you don't. And, no, it's not.

As a dual national, this one's a bit tricky for me. I'm going to take the US at soccer and the Euros in the Ryder Cup, if you don't mind.

No you don't. And, no, it's not.

ah... yes you do

http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/04/20/c...g-desecration/ I totally disagree with burning/desacrating any countries flag, but punishing someone for being stupid... not so sure about that

Ummmm........ no they dont throw you in jail in the US for burning the flag. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that burning the American flag is a form of expression protected by the First Amendment.

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking...ry_535307.html Typical UK soccer thug mentality. How can the UK call it a sport when they have roving gangs beating people before and after games? Jolly Ole England........its not.

Ummmm........ no they dont throw you in jail in the US for burning the flag. Liverpool fans thought it was great fun this week to burn the US flag.

umm... yes they do... see the link in the above post

I'm also dual citizen... UK/Canadian and there's always a few that ruin it... morons

[Stretch]

As already mentioned, it is not illegal to desecrate the American flag. Vandalism (as in the case of those two particular Canuckleheads) is a separate issue.

Let's try and stop this thread from degenerating into "(insert country here) sucks!"

Me too (albeit 5:30 my time). Great match!

USA USA USA!

Unfortunately, I'll be on the course during this game, that is if the rain goes away. :(

[JWL1957]

I apologise for my post......as I would never burn any countries flag myself, and would not expect others to either. My post was meant more towards sarcasm than some one actually doing it. I was pissed earlier in the week to see the Liverpool guys burning the US flag. Being retired military.... I get too carried away when I see the flag abused.

Sorry again.

Also............my wife is from Great Yarmouth, England. I also spent many a night in a Portmouth Pub with alot of UK sailor bretheren. Cheers.

[Uncle Peter]

It's going to be tough to decide who to cheer for, but I'm choosing England.

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!!!

HAHAHA at Robert Green

[Fatphil]

Is Tim Howard the only athlete on that team? the rest of them look like 12 year olds who got cut from the freakin high school flag football team.

[Grndslmhttr3]

HAHAHA at Robert Green

I was totally speechless when I saw that, and then I started laughing.

[drPheta]

Jozy had some insane moves today... and he was inches away from getting the US 3 points in the group. Damn he's fast!

[bogeyhitter25]

I'm rooting for Argentina because Messi is friggin ridiculous.

I should be rooting for USA, but they'll break my heart.
