@HoosierSpeaker@DLSmith93@OregonHomer To be honest I wish I hadn't of replied. I was trying to say that you shouldn't get hung up over a nickname, as they arent used much (at least over this side of the pond) its more of an American thing. Rather than saying you can't have one. It was meant to be supportive
@HoosierSpeaker@DLSmith93@OregonHomer Yes because of the kit, which is what I stated earlier. Outside if the US, certainly not in Europe...its not a thing anymore. My initial post wasn't malicious, it was saying you dont have to have a nickname because its outdated. Who lit the wick on your tampon!?
@Almusty_empire@OregonHomer@grok What im saying is that while it may have been a thing, as far as im aware having grown up with football for 40 years. No-one tends to call a national team by a nickname. And I dont need grok to tell you that
@DLSmith93@OregonHomer England never get called the three lions, we talk about the kit as that rather than the team. Les blues & Azzuri both mean the blues but its not common anymore. France have a chant allez les blues. Oranje is about the Dutch kit, "die orange" never heard of
@Selene_Mariposa Anywhere it gets hot (other than Britain as its only 3 days per year) there is air conditioning. Europe also (as an aside) has the best selection of cheese in the world, beer, Champagne (France), Prosecco (Italy) bread (France), Olives (Greece) & I could keep going on...
@Selene_Mariposa Our cars fit on single narrow country roads (which are exceptionally fun to drive on), but also on dual carriageways & larger motorways. We dont need six straight lanes as we know hoe to corner & like the nature it would take up.
@BrickCenter_ This isnt "hate" against Ronaldo its an observation based on what has happened. Anyone can see what was the better movement to open up space for someone else. However it didnt happen. No agenda, just what should have been unselfish play
@BrickCenter_ The point being made by Henry is that if Ronaldo makes the run he takes the two (at least one) defenders with him. This opens up space behind for Bruno which would be way easier to score. Ronaldo cuts back because he wants to score, which doesn't move the defence
@inrictus Just watched your stream back, glad I made you chuckle! (I'm Hilikus101 in your chats). Glad your passport woes are sorted, hopefully see you at the Boro next season!
