I DONT support England!

[Julius Caro]

I also agree that there was no need to put a big "supporting england" thing considering that people from this board are from EVERYWHERE in the world.

Bleh, they can do whatever they want anyway

[golazo]

b ahh I hate soccer

Why post then Pink Floyd??

Anyway... a nice image of kawaguci pondering if he has ever been pwned so hard in his life!

I'm English and live in England, and support Germany and think that this whole England flag thing is utter nonsense bordering on extremist nationalism. I hate all these cars with England flags attached to them.

Imagine if i put a German flag on my car, imagine the reaction of some "England supporters" - i have no doubt that it would end in some kind of violence - which is the basis for my dislike of this England flag nonsense.... the kind of person who has one is by their having one, intolerant.

A lot of people who bear the England flag on their cars - and they're not in the majority - are more often than not, Nationalistic, Racist (look down on ethnic monirities), Daily Mail reading (thugs), most likely brain dead....

Bearing an England flag in itself is an innocuous act, but my point is that behind such an act: the difference between someone who will make an effort to do it, and someone who will not, often lies the kind of person described above.

Finding the flag on Neowin I actually cried out : "Nooooooooooo!" and seriously considered not visiting the site again until after the world cup.

In any case, isn't Neowin an extremely diverse and multi-cultural/national community. I find it a bit off putting that the site would declare it support of England so prominently when those of other nationalities are so often visitors here. It'd be better if a flag on the homepage wasn't there..... for all of us.

[insert Nazi salute here]

Wow - inverse racism at it finest!

[Lexcyn]

I don't support any team so meh.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

lol dnno what there is to hate about it.

And i think there should be a rule about what people call the sport, its not soccer :laugh: , it was invented by english people we call it "football" we dont take your sports and give them stupid names lmao

call it stupid if you want ;)

it's soccer in north america. Football is another sport to us :rofl:

[Shetland]

I don't see how Neowin can 'officially' back any team because not everyone on these boards is British or supports the English team.

they can officially back them becuase its the team of the people who run the site (well 2 or 3 of the admins)

its 'the site's team' not the user's team. its not on the forums is it? its on the news site.

[golazo]

socceroos would pwn england anyway

[Zirus]

I thought neowin was based in the US?

[samriley]

call it stupid if you want ;)

it's soccer in north america. Football is another sport to us :rofl:

yea a game where the ball rarly touches the foot. makes so much sense when you think about it ;)

[golazo]

NFL is a pathetic excuse for a sport. the only sport that matters is the world game, real FOOTBALL

[Lasker]

I don't like soccer or football , these games sucks

[_sphinx_]

crappy PS job...I was just too bored:

Well I know Im in the UK but I dont support them and probs never will, if its not SCOTLAND I dont wanna know.

Oh and no just cause England is part of the UK doesnt mean im supporting them.

Id imagine most Scots feel the same. Sorry England ur on your own

[jokeripa]

England all the way!

[DomZ]

I hope England produce some quality football today and show the world why they are second favorites to win the tournament.

No ones asking you to, just annoying all the people whining about a simple england flag.

So me hoping that Scotland did well in the 78 wc in Argentina when I was 9 years old was wasted then?

I bet however when Beckham is raising that golden trophy and an Englishman says, 'drinks all round'

you will refuse then?

:p

COME ON ENGLAND keep Rooney for the final!

[Minchino]

Support your own team, no ones stopping you, but if the Neowin servers want to display their love for England let them. No point in arguing with a server. :whistle:

Oh and...

ENG-GER-LAND!
