Who do you cheer for?

[Persian Prince]

you still didnt answer me what did they do to you? i just dont like ungrateful people

I think that when people talk about British people (and I think this is what Rooz was getting at) they immediately picture the British football hooligan type. Or as they are sometimes called: Kevs, Janners, Chavs etc... You know the kind I mean, the ones with the burberry caps and Ben Sherman shirts and Kickers shoes. The ones who will want to fight you just because you look at them- the Wayne Rooney type.

Having worked in a restaurant for going on 2 years, following university, I've encountered all types of Brits, but mostly the drunk 'chavs' who make people's lives a misery. British youth really are the biggest problem. The vast majority of them have no respect for anyone and don't understand logic or common sense. I can't even count the number of times i've been called a Paki, Nigger, black shit, been told to go back to my own country and the funniest one of all from some drunk idiot- "Yeaahh we bombed Afghanistan!!"

The Restaurant is my dad's and we've had our window smashed several times. All this and I'm what you would call one of the 'white', pale skinned Iranians and i've been living in England for 17 years. Its this kind of ignorance and just utter stupidity that makes people dislike the British. And I have to tell you, having had to put up with that shit for as long as I have, I've grown a real dislike for British people, but only the kind of Brits I mentioned above.

I have several close English Friends and I certainly appreciate and acknowledge what this country has done for me and will do for me in the future. But because of the kind of people I've described (and their numbers are growing at an alarming rate) I'll never truly be able to support the British or English at anything. I've even told my English friends this and they are actually embarrassed by 'those' British.

No matter what sport they're involved in whether its Football, Rugby, Cricket or when they compete at the Olympics or any major sporting event (apart from boxing or mixed martial arts tournaments) I always hope they lose. Maybe if all the 'chavs' were wiped out my position would change, but until then I will continue my prejudice against the British because of that section of their society.

Oh and to answer the original question I'm rooting for Ghana because one of friends is half ghanain. Its gonna be real tough for them against Brazil espescially since Essien is suspended but I'm sure they'll put on a good show.

I live in Plymouth, which is one of the chav capitals of Britain. My sister lives in London and she says the same as you - there isn't much of a problem with racism there. But in cities like Plymouth where its still dominated by white English people (mostly chavs), and there aren't many ethnics, racism is everywhere. There's even a big skinhead gang in Plymouth called the TCE (The central element).

I used to like how England played, but it seems that recently they've turned into a boring long ball team. Watching them play is like watching paint dry. And its because of Crouch. He turns any team he joins into a boring long ball team which is why I was so pissed off when he joined Liverpool. He's just an average player who belongs in the English championship not the premiership and I still can't understand why he is where he is. Football has gone mad.

what dya mean ungreatful people? I dont owe england a thing. I was born here so when you tell me to "go back to iran" theres nowhere for me to go back to.

Persian Prince has pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I dunno your story, but ive been brought up in middleclass suburbia, and still I see the hooligans and thugs. Attitudes towards Iran are worse here than anywhere else in teh world, regardless of iran, i'd still not support England if i were english

I agree with you 100%, we dont have this problem in Newcastle but every once and a while i'll get some odd twat who will say the Paki word or go put a belt full of bombs and blow your self.
What i do is piss them off by pulling all the birds (i'm fit) and f**k them then drup them (unless they were nice then it'll last a week or two untill i get another one).
I remember in 2004 i joing a football team and for 20-30 minots they wouldent pass me the ball, untill i had to tell the ****ing keeper to F**king pass the ball you bastard then i had to do a karimi bit to show them i can play, they started to pass the ball after that.
Anyway, me and my friends love Brazil, heres are 2 pictures from last week.


A Brazilian and an american, A Korean, Me the Irani and a Malasian, all supporting the best football in the world.
