<p>ah the french were being too rude as usual:)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>how do armies prevent bombs…use your freakin brain</p>
<p>bombs were by far the most effective method of attack during the war…nothing we could do 'bout that</p>
<p>
Until the US invaded Europe and pushed them back.</p>
<p>And what, none of the 30 countries on Churchill’s contact list had an air force? I know he started building one, but he would have been doomed had Hitler not made big mistakes and had the US not arrived. Hell, even the Soviet Union was a big help in saving your ass.</p>
<p>saynotoharvard, Uruguay has won 2 world cups, but nobody considers them significant in the modern era. England has never won the European Cup and has done very poorly in the last 11 World Cups. Few people under the age of 50 remember that England ever accomplishing anything of note on the international stage. Since 1970, countries like Brazil (3 WCs), Argentina (2 WCs), Germany (2 Wcs and 1 EC), Italy (2 WCs), France (1 WC and 2 ECs), Spain (1 WC and 1 EC) and even Holland have done a lot better than England.</p>
<p>Hiltler was NOT interested in conquering and then annexing England. The German economy was capable of supporting a huge army, a vast air force, and a potent navy. But he knew Germany could not afford to take on the burden of remedial dental care in England.</p>
<p>“But he knew Germany could not afford to take on the burden of remedial dental care in England.”</p>
<p>LOL! Priceless!!!</p>
<p>Seriously, England took a pounding and did not surrender. That was impressive. Over 2 months of raids, over 40,000 dead and a million made homeless and yet England stayed the course.</p>
<p>i honestly dont know how this turned into political history debate </p>
<p>but actually yes, very few of our imperialed countries had strong air-forces
but honestly, thats not the point; the point is that bombs were dropping like flies andd there was nothing anyone could do about it</p>
<p>Alexandre, uruguay was in the semifinal, had the top scorer, and was one of the most impressive teams during the tournament. get yo facts right…there might not be a brazil or an argentina, but they do and did significantly better and are still a significant team in the world </p>
<p>regarless of this world cup, england is still one of the major players in the footballing world; we have the best players
we have the most advanced league in the world, we have had a team in the champions league final 5 times out of the last 6, but no you stupid yanks keep trying to make profits from our clubs</p>
<p>i’m just making myself clear–americans are only good in american sports-baseball, basketball, wuss rugby…oops american football, nascar,etc—freaking ■■■■■■■■ sports; they are stuck in their own little delusional world</p>
<p>1 in 5 cant locate usa on a map; that tells it all really; just have a look at your finest products:-</p>

<p>and come april 27; you’ll probably be watching the royal wedding…hush</p>
<p>God Save The Queen!!!</p>
<p>I personally will not be watching any wedding as I will be celebrating my son’s first birthday. We each have our priorities I suppose! </p>
<p>At any rate, although I agree that England has the most advanced football league, I do not agree that it is considered a major player in the foobtall world. England has made it to just one semi finals on the global stage (World Cup) since 1970. 9 countries have done better:</p>
<h1>1. Brazil (3 times champion, 1 runner up, 2 semi finals)</h1>
<h1>1. Germany (2 times WC champion, 3 times WC runner up, 3 WC semi finals, 3 times EC champions)</h1>
<p>significant gap:</p>
<h1>3. Italy (2 times WC champion, 2 times WC runner up, 2 WC semi finals)</h1>
<h1>4. Argentina (2 times WC champion, 1 time WC runner up)</h1>
<h1>5. France (1 time WC champion, 1 WC time runner up, 2 WC semi finals, 2 times EC champion)</h1>
<p>significant gap:</p>
<h1>6. Spain (1 time WC champion, 1 time EC champion)</h1>
<h1>7. Holland (3 time WC runner up, 1 WC semi final, 1 ime EC champion)</h1>
<h1>8. Uruguay (2 WC semi finals)</h1>
<h1>9. Poland (2 WC semi finals)</h1>
<p>^^ We can’t respect the colonial powers, that was the point of the Revolution.</p>
<p>And it’s not so obnoxious that we like to play sports which appeal to us, as you coming on here and being a ******. No need for these things.</p>
<p>Speaking of sports, anyone remember when Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought Ricky Hatton? Ricky had the “God Save the Queen” playing, then Floyd promptly beat his ass.</p>
<p>There’s one sport the US does well in that it didn’t invent. Boxing.</p>
<p>Though the current best boxer is Manny Pacquiao (from the Philippines).</p>
<p>arifriekinel, shut up; you must respect your colonial fathers, we gave birth to you
can you imagine telling your parents that you cant respect them any more cos’ you’ve rebelled against them like a little child–no way!—you are still their legal property</p>
<p>billymc, finally finally finally…i guess…i honestly dont consider boxing a sport</p>
<p>and actually alexandre, you WILL be watching the wedding; i got the date wrong, its actually the 29th</p>
<p>majority of viewers for diana&charles were from america
i see you have a son so i guess you’re married; if so your wife 'll be watchin; heck, the whole world 'll be watchin…can bet on that</p>
<p>
This statement is so staggeringly illogical, I actually feel blessed to have attended an American school.</p>
<p>
Is it because the Irish and the Americans beat the hell out of the English?</p>
<p>
More viewers were American because there are way more Americans. We have more “The Office” viewers than you have people. Does that make Steve Carell superior to the Queen? Probably.</p>
<p>I honestly couldn’t give a ■■■■ about a royal wedding and will not be watching it. If a non-elderly, non-female member of the “royals” comes into my range, I might pop him one, but that’s about it.</p>
<p>Ironic, we fought wars to keep you out of German control, but your royal house was recruited from Germany when none of the Brits could do the job. The three mad Georges couldn’t even speak English.</p>
<p>
And yet you’re here on this American site inquiring about getting into American universities and taking American entrance exams. Don’t they teach you what irony is in that depressing British hovel you call a school?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>there is nothing illogical about the statement and you know it; america’s still a teenager, while britain is grandpa
you’re just goin through your teenage rebel period; you’ll soon see sense and eventually come to respect your fathers</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>nah…my bad…change that to more viewers per person…america still has much much higher…bloody stalkers</p>
<p>just look how many american tv stations would be showing “our” wedding</p>

</p>
<p>your “american school” has taught you some really bad history bruv</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>even though i dont consider boxing a sport, try refreshing your memory till when lennox popped tyson’s brains off…you’ll gain a lot more perspective on the matter</p>
<p>
An occaisonal happening does not change the overall pattern.</p>
<p>
Really? Because I seem to recall the House of Hanover (later renamed “Windsor”) recruited from Saxony starting with German-speaking George I.</p>
<p>“respect our colonial fathers”? *** we were abused and we turned on our “fathers” and kicked their arses! The Crumbling Kingdom’s only claim to fame is being the world’s eighth largest island.</p>
<p>We obnoxious Americans speak english better too. Yes we got it from the other side, but we sound better. (with the exception of the Boston accent, I can’t standthat thing) Why is it that all British singers don’t have an accent when they sing? They sound more American/normal. </p>
<p>I have respect for both American and European football. You limeys have been on the downslide for years both in the real world and in the SOCCER world and within 15 years the US will have a World Cup. It’d be nice to see Bradley play a strict 4-4-2, they play better that way. As for the best, there are none better than the Brasilians and their “futbol”. They are simply the best. Even with Europe raiding the Brasilian leagues for players their futbol is more exciting to watch than the European leagues. Cheers!</p>

<p>you speak better english…really…are you kiddin me</p>
<p>that’s like mexico telling spain that its people speak better spanish</p>
<p>we dictate what is right and what is wrong; what is better and what is worse…because of that my friend,we will always “speak better english”
queens english(bbc english) is the universal standard for english all over the globe…so suck it</p>
<p>schmaltz,as billymc said, one comedian doesnt change the overall pattern…millions of americans will be tuning in…your president would probably even be there(because he respects his fathers)…so shoo</p>

</p>
<p>and chances are in less than two hours, you’ll be watchin the four best players strut it out(in a european game)</p>
<p>And those best players will be Brasilians.</p>
<p>Fools bowing to a Queen. King Williaml ??? Puhleez. Two hundred years ago maybe they had some clout, but c’mon man the idea of royalty is just silly. Could you please tell me what the royal family does other than inbreed. I could care less about them. They seem to do nothing but cause traffic jams and provide the tabloids a reason for being.<br>
Listen to how many english pronounce many words and compare that pronunciation with the written word and you will shake your head.<br>
Oh, good dentists over there as well.</p>
