One points this out because there are so many people on here that state they should integrate and be patriotic to the country they live in.
So when Switzerland meet up with the UK, USA, Australia, NewZealand, South Africa etc. who will we be supporting?
Switzerland's first game is on Wednesday evening against Spain.
I wonder how many of us will even be watching the game? | | | | | Post needs a poll
Edit: Actually it needs two polls

Fantastic game of the Germans. Bit too harsh with the red card, but hey... they wouldn't have turned the game with or without their superman.
I'll be watching the Swiss-Spain one and actually cheering for the Swiss, however I feel like they'll lose this one miserably. But hey..... you never know.
In the end, it doesn't matter! The ball is round, a game is 90-odd minutes and Germany wins 
Simples.

The bars - empty.
The toilets - two.
The fans - silent.
The atmosphere - $h!t.
The number of english - 2. Alright, 3. Maybe.
I got told if I carried on making so much noise, I would be asked to leave.
Ha ha ha.

| Quote: | | | | | What Green did last night was inexcusable. He knelt down casually to take the ball and it rolled out of his hands! I know this stuff can happen but only because you loose concentration for a second. But at a World Cup? Seriously dodgy.
Those two points dropped could make all the difference at the end of the round if England come second in group - thereby facing group D winners Germany. Exciting sure but daunting also. | | | | | He did a major Bill Buckner

Can happen to any team, better luck next time.
