When they scored I ran and slid on my knees across the carpet like the players do when they score. Pure adrenaline. Now that it's faded, I noticed I shredded my kneecaps. LOL. Both raw as hell. Ouch. I'm an idiot. Hahaha.
That's the happiest I've been about a sporting event in a long time.
i pulled a similar stunt on the 2nd goal against slovenia by bradley except it was more a head first slide lol. today i just ran around and started screaming "f*CK yes!!!!" and other stuff i cant remember. i blacked out or something hahahahaha.

LOL...who knew soccer could be so exciting? Seattle got some major love from ESPN, crazy bandwagon out here.
Fixed that for you.

I'm not exactly sure why, maybe because of the successful marketing behind the Seattle Sounders, but soccer is big in Seattle and growing at a rapid pace.

Classy.
I was going to congratulate you but I won't bother now. :Flush:
Congrats to the English side for defeating Slovenia and moving on to stage 2.
You are right that some of the comments here, including one of mine the other day, have not been all that classy. Sorry for that. However, please understand that we all have encountered English fans (not you) who have been so very arrogantly condescending that they could be Dallas Cowboys fans.
Thanks for that Lotus.
I do appreciate that a lot of England fans do appear to have a ridiculously superior attitude when it comes to soccer. I have to deal with them on a daily basis on another forum.
I like to think it is more about eternal optimism than true arrogance.
Anyway, best of luck to USA in their game with Ghana. I have a feeling you will do better than England will against Germany.

Yup. The entire reason for my "fish and chips" comment earlier. I have nothing against the UK as a whole. But man oh man their futbol fans are cocky.

Slovakia eliminates Italy with a 3-2 win. So defending champ Italy, and the runner-up France both gone

The Azzuri are the biggest bunch of flopping primadonnas. Good riddance. And France was just a mess. The arrogance of those two teams, I'm happy they got a face full of humble pie.
