Pity I\'m not a big footie fan....

.. otherwise I would enjoy the big whooping the English team will get tonight... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Perhaps some football fans way up north might enjoy the game.

Oh, the winning team is called Orange but dresses themselves up in black and white /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I always enjoy reading a post that is uncontroversial, not antagonistic, educates, and brings a little humour into my life....

Whilst I applaud your support of your own nation, I'm pretty sure the Dutch Masters will be given a lesson tonight by the English. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What I am really, really pleased to see is the dutch team wearing the unique black and white strip to support Tierry Henry's anti-racism message. After the appaling indiference shown by FIFA to the Spanish coaches and supporters unbelievable racism, its good to see that something is finally being done, although it is rather outrageous that it has taken a private initiative from a player to get the ball rolling, as FIFA have buried their head in the sand. I know this forum is not exactly overflowing with football fans, but I do like to watch the odd game, and like it or not a huge proportion of the european population follow football and by not punishing the Spanish FA, FIFA have sent the message that racism is acceptable, which is clearly not on.

Anyway I reackon it'll be close but England will have the edge.
