The cringeworthy moment an American's arrogance saw his comeuppance

[EagleSmack]

10K is barely walking to work in the morning.

From what I hear it is National News in England. I guess it is a big thing to win a local charity race for them.

They are still smarting from yet another disastrous world cup it would seem.

 

[lone wolf]

No breathtaking air of superiority in posting pages and pages of "How Great I Are".

Ben Payne: In the immortal words of Yogi Berra - it ain't over til it's over

Bragging on the internet is only rivaled by p*ssing and moaning on the internet...

Bragging on the internet is only rivaled by p*ssing and moaning on the internet...

Sometimes its best to just say "We lost. We sucked" than to post 3 pages of how great you are and its all the refs fault or the fault of the people who switched their and their opponents nets.

Fair enough Nuggs.... I'm really just yanking BL's chain on this for no other reason than entertainment

Yah, I knew that. .............I like pulling his chain bout the Royal Navy.......really livens up a thread.:roll:

 

[Goober]

Well, that proves that Briddin is the best ever at everything.

Ya know if there was a Frenchman in the race he would have won hands down.
Ok, Ok, perhaps an Italian.

 

[eh1eh]

Bitter tea tears. 'sniff' So sad for the Queen.

 

[Ludlow]

boo on arrogant americans

 

[Blackleaf]

It's kinda funny that the Briddish, who once bestrode the world, are now reduced to scanning for their very occasional sports victories to crow over, in a desperate attempt to convince themselves they're not a second-rate client state of their former colony.

Sad, but funny.

A hilarious moment in which typical Yank arrogance lets a Yank down, and got beaten by a tyopical non-nonsense, down-to-Earth Brit who just got on with the task in hand and won the race, saving the celebrating until AFTER he had won the race, not before.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

In a local, charity 10K.

How'd you like the video of the Irishman stealing a march on his alleged British superior? On the world stage, no less.

Well done, Briddin.

Losers. Just as in soccer.

Amazing how it took hours for them to decide who won when Overall was a good couple of foot away in the 'photo finish' picture. If the idiot in first place slows down and lets 2nd place pass him, thats his own problem.

Next time this Yank runs maybe he should invest in a rear view mirror, unless he would spend too much time looking at himself in it.

Reminds me of American Lindsey Jacobellis in the snowboard cross at the 2006 Winter Olympics...leading by a huge margin so she starts showboating but falls flat on her face and ends up finishing in second for silver, losing a certain gold medal.

Just shows the difference. The American bloke was probably think about 'soda', 'color', 'diapers' and all of the other self centred nonsense.

"Whoever wins this race gets to twat that annoying guy with the silly hat."

"Hands up if you think Britain is the greatest country on Earth!"

"****ing hilarious! Bloody arrogant Yank with his premature victory celebration. Still, it isn't the first and I daresay it won't be the last. And I'm gonna leather that eejit with the silly hat once I've got my breath back. He's doing my ****ing head in."
