Idiots.

Everyone else seems to be able to turn up and watch a footie game, but we English have had a special reputation for turning it into an excuse to get bad suntans, go drinking and end up fighting some foreigners who we might / might not have had a war with at some point in the last millenia.

And unfortunately that reputation looks remain intact for the forseeable future...

I'm open to suggestions as to what to do with these useless cretins?

Charge them with treason?

How many times have you heard English people spouting anti French, German, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, American ad infinitum prejudice based on national stereotyping and/or the fact that we may well have once had a conflict with any one of a number of countries?

Certain gutter tabloids exploit this and national pride turns ugly.  That, mixed with the need to go abroad and treat the place like we own it conspires to make the situation worse.

I feel ashamed to be of the same nationality as these mindless pricks that feel the need to show their patriotism by behaving like thugs.  Maybe if we did get thrown out the competition the idiot element will learn to show proper respect when abroad?
