Brazil vs England: Comical football
Ronaldo goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his team mates looking a
bit down. "What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only England. They're $hite and we can't be bothered." Explains the team. Ronaldo looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these guys by myself, you lads go down the pub.” So Ronaldo goes out to play England by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few drinks. After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the bar tender to put the TV on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Brazil 1 - England 0 (Ronaldo10 minutes)" He is beating England all by himself! Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers. "It must be full time now, let's see how he went" They put the TV on... "Result: Brazil 1(Ronaldo 10 minutes) - England 1 (D.Beckham 89 minutes). They can't believe it; he has single handedly got a draw against England! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sitting with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down" Ronaldo moans. "Don't be daft; you got a draw against England, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very end!" said Rivaldo in an attempt to cheer Ronaldo up. "No, No, I have, I've let you down… I got sent off after 12 minutes."
LMAO! My friend sent me this. I thought it was hilarious and that i should share it with all the football lovers at HC!

Coming from three people who's respective countries have never won the world cup that's ironic really Someone remind me for a moment, did Australia, Romania or Macedonia even get to the last world cup? Did they get to the quarter-finals? I forget now
English football is something of a roller-coaster ride, one year we will trounce Germany 5-1, the next or a few later we loose to some no-hopers from eastern europe... we like to give our fans a worry about if we'll qualify I think

England gets frightened when it comes to meet Romania in a football game. Remember Romania-England = 3-2

No, it's not, it's a poor re-working of an old joke that merely changes the names every so often to suit.
Oh and btw, we may have lost one or two games in our long history to minor nations, but we have a good overall record and have beaten some of the best nations also.

BAH!!! Australia isn't bad you know. They have players such as Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, and Paul Okon, but its just that they always somehow lose the important matches.. >.<
Australia defeated countries such as England, Brazil and France in friendlies just a little while back, but they lost to NEW ZELAND in the Confederations Cup qualifying match... They also defeated Uraguay 1-0 in the world cup qualifying match in melbourne, aust. but later lost 3-0 in their final match in Uraguay, costing them their ticket to Japan/Korea... I blame the hostile atmosphere for that australian loss

That kind of says it all, anyone can loose a friendly when no-one cares about the result, like we did to Germany in the last match at Wembeley. Around then though we thrashed them 5-1 in a qualifying game. I know which is more important and which I'd rather win. Especially since quite often, the friendly's are played with understrength sides from the favourite team. If you can't win when it matters, you've no right to criticise those that can
Dragon
Don't much care, I just don't find huge humour in a joke that's been around longer than David Seaman I do not find it unamusing because it's about England, I find it unamusing because I've heard it more times than Brazil have won World Cup matches...
As for Italy, you've only once won it since the 1930's, which says a lot really does it not? And whom did you loose to in 1966.... North Korea or was it south? Don't try making fun of loosing to small sides please
Bucrush
On what do you base that on? We loose one or two games and this proves we're scared? Who cares about beating your side anyway unless it's in a competition? Not like you're a rival or something like the Scots or Germans

I don't think the teams don't care for the results in friendly. Nobody plays to lose, everybody wants to win.
It's my impression or every English person uses this excuse when his(her) team loses.

It's my impression or every English person uses this excuse when his(her) team loses.
Is that why England and other teams play friendlys with half of their first choice team missing? Seriously, no-one likes loosing, but all too often, the manager will not go out of his way to ensure his best side are avaialable, he'll try new formations or players, test new ideas, experiment and so on. Put simply, friendlys do not matter in terms of judging the quality of the team in question. Look at the results when they matter and see what the side is like, not when the result is immaterial.
And no, we don't ALL use it to cover our defeats, the papers might, but most English people recognise that at the end of the day our side has some extremely good players and our constant failiure in comparison to our expectations is a big disapointment to us. Our side does do well in comparison to others, but we expect more. It is a fact though that friendlies are mostly irrelevant to what will occur in the championships. In euro 96 we had one of the best sides in the tournament and yet prior to it, our performances in friendlies was dreadfull, but when it mattered, the first team did what was needed (nearly, if only we didn't have to play penalties ). It's not an excuse, it's the simple truth. If I recall, Brazil's performances a year prior to the last world cup weren't exactly a taste of things to come either, so it's not like the theory is specific to England.
There are many things wrong with English football, most of the fans recognise this. To say though that you can judge a side on friendlies is laughable.

Well, that draw with Macedonia wasn't a friendly game. It was this year - qualifications for the European Championship. And you played with almost the whole team (including the "best" - Victoria.. or David was it, Beckham).
I'm not saying we are good at football. (man, we suck!) But so do you.

No, we got to the Quarter finals of the last world cup, have qualified for most recent competitions we've entered and done quite well, (with notable exceptions) and in the last 10 years or so beaten some very good sides both in friendlies and competitions. Judging a team on one result is a pathetic analysis. As I said, Brazil had a bad run before the last world cup, did you consider them awful before it? Were you then proved wrong? Were Brazil a bad side in 1966 because they went out early? If so why did they win the preceeding and following world cups?
Try judging on more than 1 game. We qualified, one result against 1 team is hardly the basis for which to judge an entire national side. We did what was needed and got through. Last I checked, sides and players are permitted an off day.

Ok, I admit. You are better than Macednia (probably)
Man, I'd love to see your face now.
Cheer up, private. It's not good for a british gentleman to lose his temper.
