No I'm not - I'm a German citizen now.

I'll support SA against Scotland if that is what you're asking. ;) (can't watch the game as it is not on tv here)

to point out- You should support your team regardless. ie: if you support Liverpool, you are not going to support West Ham when they play against your side even if they are at the bottom of the league.

SOuth Africa is so unique in that ppl are more excisted to watch England then SA vs Scotland.I guess race plays an important role.White South africans will watch England while Blacks will be watching BAFANA BAFANA.

Not so.

I worked in a pub in Edinburgh for years and the biggest crowds we ever had was when England played footy. One event stands out.

Scotland v Holland - pretty quiet, maybe 100 ppl.
Next day...
England v SometeamIcantrememberrightnowcauseIwasworkingatthetime -packed to the rafters (with Scots. Myself and three others were the only England fans in the place.)

Scots would rather watch England lose than their own team win...

Hehe it was a good game. Nice to see manure in 19th place, where they belong...

Hopefully Tottenham are on a resurgent path, and give manure what they deserve.

Nice to see Chelsea where they belong: On top!
 
ABU? Call me a n00b or enlighten me. I have been supporting Chelsea though from the Vialli/Zola era so I'm not there for the money. Some would be nice though :-)
 
LOL.

Ok, thats just another way of saying go with the flow and screw having your own independence. I have always liked Chelsea since I watch Premier League, and have never liked Ferguson. I spent a month watching games to pick the team I like, and chose Chelsea. Never won anything substantial for years, still supported them. The fact that a guy I hate was a huge manure fan helped my choice :)

I did support Schumi, so maybe sometimes I do go with the flow. But I supported him in his Mercedes Le Mans days, so...
 
Things have returned to normal at least for Man U :sick:. Extraordinary luck and dodgy refing in their favour means we're back to same old same old :(. I think their needs to be an investigation because it seems to give penalties at Old Trafford in favour of the away team is against regulations :D

As for luck WTF is going on with Chelski :eek: Yet another get out of jail game for them. 3 out of their 4 games they have got points through outrageous goalkeeper blunders and even worse refereeing decisions. That kind of luck puts Manure to shame. Obviously Abromovich has decided after last season spending on players doesn't guarantee trophies so he is buying off opposition goalkeepers and refs instead
:D

At least we agree about Chelski. Still, it will catch up with them eventually.

I admit that a point each would have been a fairer reflection of the United game, however, it was NEVER a penalty. Neither the 'foul' on Berbatov, nor the 'handball' by Brown. It hit his chest. It doesn't matter if you wave your arms around in the direction of the ball and it still hits you on the chest- it's just not handball.

Off Topic: Last night I saw a Sevilla player Peurta collapse on the field :eek::sick:. Came around and walked off the pitch with some help then collapsed again and had to be resuscitated and is now in ICU in a severe condition :(
