I do like to think that I dedicate the entries on here to substantive matters that will be of interest to people, but over the last few days I have just become increasingly irritated by something very minor. As a result, I will use this forum to vent.
To all the people on Facebook who have joined groups that have titles along the lines of "I am wearing my England shirt with pride!" or "Against the England shirt ban" I have a very simple request: Grow up.
There is not a ban on wearing England shirts anywhere for the World Cup, and if you believe that nonsense then quite frankly you are a fool. I really am not too enamored with football (soccer for my American readers), especially at the club level. Money has become more important than competition. It is for this reason that I like international football infinitely more. I must admit that I am always reluctant to get excited about this as well when England are involved because it always produces the same sort of idiocy.
Seriously people, English football fans make up a huge proportion of the country. No one is realistically going to outright ban the wearing of England shirts of the displays of the St. George Flag. Relax, you just come off sounding like ignorant, xenophobic morons.
That is all.
