The knockout stage of the World Cup is about to start at 5pm, with Brazil facing Chile. Come on Chile!
In case anyone hasn't seen the video of Will Ferrell in a bar packed full of team usa supporters in Brazil, I was mocking their excellent chants. [video=youtube_share;3z4Hzo9UmrQ]http://youtu.be/3z4Hzo9UmrQ[/video]
It doesn't fit with the projected stereotype the media have chosen to go with. Only nasty European sides do nasty things like that. Of course the English 'identity' has been relentlessly diluted and ridiculed over several decades, so people are 'discouraged' from being proud or patriotic.
I think it's more our sense of fairness that dilutes it also. To start with we need a public holiday on St George's day. ( extra day off also )
Although I'd love to see the reaction if Brazil get knocked out, I'm glad they've scored first. Chile are tight at the back and they'd have killed this off if they scored first. Game on now.
