World Cup Fever

[Dizzy]

Do you guys have to suffer through the madness that is the world cup?

Can't go more than 2 seconds without hearing about it.. Everything is "The Official World Cup Sponsor".. There are St Georges flags EVERYWHERE!!

It is CRAZY!!

The US is in it right? Soccer is like the least talked about sport here, it's all about football, then basketball, then baseball. Personally I like soccer more than any of those sports.

It's CRAZY here right now with flags and that.

The whole country follows it.. It IS cool to watch the matches in the pub.. Everyone together, guzzling beer and cheering the guys on.. But it does get a bit much, because the country becomes obsessed.

Other than that I am not a football fan

Whoops I meant football as in

LOL!

This is soccer for us in the US

Which is stupid cause you only kick the football once, lol.

Hey Dizzy do your parents have those flags for their cars? My sisiter bought some but I refuse to drive the car with them on, they get in my way.

Yeah, I know! Same here... my 2 favorite sports are soccer and MMA.

I can't wait for this, I didn't get a chance to see the first match

I heard it was entertaining though.

Lol, I don't think the World Cup is as big here in Canada.

*ole, ole, ole, ole*

No they don't!

I was driving through an estate in Hull yesterday.. Quite a rough area - gawd! The FLAGS!!

Every car, window, T-shirt, anything had a flag on it!!!

England are playing our first match today!! Wish I was in the pub for it - it's sooo much fun.

Everyone gets together to yell at the screen, and you get SOAKED in beer - when something good happens, everyone cheers, and forget they still have a pint in their hands!!!

So, for us today:

"Come on England!!!!"

 

[Bailey+Ralph]

I'm not a footie lover but hubby and the older kids are, so i have heard nothing but ENGLAND..............

Although this year i have ordered a England T-shirt for Bailey
Was hoping it would arrive this morning but it didn't
It should be here Monday

 

[Kase]

Awww that t shirt sounds great Bailey+Ralph.

I don't like the fact that every car has the flags but I will ditto Dizzy,

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Ahhhh....Go GERMANY, get the fourth star!!
Even though I'm in the US now and missing out on the World Cup in my own country (how tragic is that lol) I am in total World Cup fever! I want to watch as many games as possible. Well, I have a Germany flag on my car and there will be one outside the house soon, too
Germany is starting to go a little crazy with flags and shirts...which is good. It's about time we get a healthy amount of national pride into German citizens.

1 und 2 und 3 und 54, 74, 90, 2 0 0 6 ja so stimmen wir alle ein.
Mit dem Herz in der Hand und der Leidenschaft im Bein
werden wir Weltmeister sein!

England Kit for your pooch

If you don't already have an England Kit for your pooch and fancy one, we are doing a special Patriotic Pets range especially for the World Cup

The England Kit is really cute

But I also love this collar (and lead)

If you are interested, you can see the range here Patriotic Pets

Hope you all continue to enjoy the football

PS Buying your pooch an England Kit will not guarantee that they will watch the whole game without trying to eat your snacks or needing a toilet break

Oh yeah.... Europe, South America and few other continents are crazy for football!!!! GO Netherlands!!!!
