Get rid of all those foreigners, and Germany wins the World Cup. As opposed to Premier League, where getting rid of the foreigners means fielding a side that gets sent home at the end of the group stage, at the bottom of their not particularly impressive group.

Most English football fans would far rather their club win the Premier League than England win the World Cup.

Correction: ALL English fans know that they don't stand a chance of ever winning the World Cup ever again

Where's your evidence for that? For most English football fans, it's definitely club before country.

Personally, I think England will win the Qatar World Cup in 2022.

I thought you said something about fat chicks digging Premier League... Or, maybe Black Leaf is a fat chick or something


Premier League = Best football league in the world.

I'm looking forward to 3pm tomorrow when the long new season kicks off.

England are ranked 8th in the world, below only Argentina, Belgium, Germany, Colombia, Brazil, Portugal and Romania. USA are ranked 29th, one place below Bosnia and Herzegovina.

True. And you probably think that means something. But the fact remains that soccer is a minor sport in the U.S., and the serious athletic talent goes to other sports.

Your failure to comprehend this is, alas, unsurprising.

And nobody in the US really gives a bleep. Once boys reach the age to play football and baseball the soccer cleats are given to the neighbor with younger kids.

And lucky for you because the US would dominate the sport like our US Women do.

Memo to Blackie: The fan's opinion has nothing to do with how they will compete (I know, that is the wrong word to use) in the only real Championship Cup in that sport.

You'll get your thrashing soon enough... Be patient


The FA Cup, the Champions League and the European Championships are way better than the World Cup.

Any excuse.
