Horrible second part, did Owen play?

Anyway, 1-0, time to rest.

Poor Poor Poor

There are only two things to say about this game really:

1) Rooney is an immature, arrogant and annoying scally who needs to be banned for a few games in order to put his attitude-problem into a bit of perspective. It shouldn't be tolerated no matter how talented he is!

2) Why did the England team not just walk off the park after the minority of Spanish arses in the crowd began their barrage of racist chants? It's the one direct way to punish them for their obscene and disgusting behaviour - walk off, refuse to play!

I really hope a formal complaint is lodged against the Spanish thugs and that England certainly learn how to at least string more than 4 passes together for their next match. I don't think I've ever watched such a dire match!

Excellent Post. Couldnt have said that any better what-so-ever!

Gringo in JBJ's dictionary = Spaniards, mexicans, brazilians and other riff-raff off the sort

grin·go ( P ) Pronunciation Key (grngg)
n. Offensive Slang pl. grin·gos
Used as a disparaging term for a foreigner in Latin America, especially an American or English person.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Spanish, foreign, foreign language, gibberish, probably alteration of griego, Greek, from Latin Graecus. See Greek.]
Word History: In Latin America the word gringo is an offensive term for a foreigner, particularly an American or English person. But the word existed in Spanish before this particular sense came into being. In fact, gringo may be an alteration of the word griego, the Spanish development of Latin Graecus, “Greek.” Griego first meant “Greek, Grecian,” as an adjective and “Greek, Greek language,” as a noun. The saying “It's Greek to me” exists in Spanish, as it does in English, and helps us understand why griego came to mean “unintelligible language” and perhaps, by further extension of this idea, “stranger, that is, one who speaks a foreign language.” The altered form gringo lost touch with Greek but has the senses “unintelligible language,” “foreigner, especially an English person,” and in Latin America, “North American or Britisher.” Its first recorded English use (1849) is in John Woodhouse Audubon's Western Journal: “We were hooted and shouted at as we passed through, and called ‘Gringoes.’”

So, you're using it completely WRONG!!!
