I HE THERE BEATING ICELAND????????WHOPEEEEEEEEEEE.

You are not quite right there...the dutch fans have got a pretty bad reputation for violent behaviour in the past, although as always it is a tiny minority. Interestingly there is very little trouble these days in English soccer, only abroad where the foreign police don't know how to deal with it, and it is nearly always away from the stadiums. A case of alcohol fanning the flames of nationalism.

Which raises a rather big question...is nationalism/patriotism a good thing, or does it simply serve to divide people, although perhaps Euro 2004 has bought them together ?

See my predictions are doing well. If denmark win tonight that will be 0 out of 4. Best I stick to shares!

and the czech`s are bouncing along ,,milan,milan,milan,,3/0,,get in there top scorer ,.baros

Drinkgood - Perhaps you ought to talk to a few of your fellow Scots who reguarly in the past used to come down en masse to London, smashed out of their skulls. Having attended a few Eng V Scot games I have seen at first hand the politeness/ettiquette of those proud to sport Tartan.

I also note that you think Football hooliganism is confined to the English - Perhaps you may recall for example Celtic fans (Scots ? Irish ?) returning from Europe, or Holland as another poster has pointed out plus many other club sides from such countries as Turkey, Germany, Spain and Italy.

The Scottish also frequently resort to the usual anti-English nonsense such as asking for their own parliament, then denying us our own, claiming the oil fields are theirs, when for years Scotland has sucked money from us in the south to pay their social security bills, etc etc. Perhaps that is why the English now proudly display the St Georges flag, rather than associate themselves with the Union Jack.

Flackwell

Wow ...the little rat has popped out of his sewer again.

After ajren we need some lighthearted/fun posts.This thread was great.Recently
it has gone down to awful posts.Why ?

your comments are a disgrace flackwell

if u want to slag off rangers and celtic, all fine and well as they r both scum but real scots aint like them

well there`s not many match`s on now ,i`am just hanging around waiting for my czech`s,,,to come to fruit,,so i can collect my loot.
any body else waiting to collect there loot?

as for oil fields, well its international companies with foreign people including us scots that help to make oil money. Having said that, all the money is sent down to westminster.

i've never felt it for last 2 or 3 years but i do think Scotland should become independent.

FLACKWELL - 18 per cent od my country is now inhabited by u engl;ish and at work (i've worked for several companies) i seem to be surrounded by them. Cant get away from them it seems.

Anyone that knows anything about scotland knows that all the scots are leaving in their droves from scotland. its just asylum seekers and english left just about

same over here scotinvestor,unless you go 15/20 miles in land,,,at the moment we are not burning there houses down,,,where just putting glue in there locks{only joking} keep it on the football ha??????????????.

any intrest in tonights game portugal/holland,i hope van the man draw`s a blank.and portugal win.

Portugal really deserve it after reaching the last 4 in Belgium and going out unluckily to France. They have the flair and the desire.. Holland look very ordinary despite their players...not played as a team this tournament. Mind you still gubbed us scots 6-O.at the Amsterdam arena. I was at that game and found myself sitting next to Colin Hendry (ex Blackburn and Scotland)...he's now just a regular fan and travels (in a kilt and tartan bunnet) everywhere with the Tartan Army. Anyway stick to the football on this thread you guys and just remember that we Scots are only down in England for one reason..it's all about improving the gene pool.

get in there,,now all on thursdays game.czech to win,,baros to bang one in.its nice to see portugal in the final , i hope there not to strong?..

well an hour to go,the big pay day is on the horizon,baros,to shine tonight and a big night for nedved,smicer if he plays and the czech keeper .if there winning by 2 at half time,i`am happy.
