To be fair I think most people on here are over it too and it's a bit of fun. Having said that I'm still delighted France lost, especially when they clearly didn't bother their arses in both games.

And **** it, there's nothing wrong with holding a grudge.

Yeah, I'll hold onto my grudge if I want and I'll definitely enjoy watching France lose not only cos they were useless, but also cos I'm still a bit peeved off that they were there and we weren't!!!:D
Nowt wrong with that IMO!!

oh was anyone in the pub last night for it?

i was, and the cheers for the Mexico goals made me lol hard. shouts of 'c*nt' when Henry came on the screen; it was slightly embarrassing.

the silence for the penalty was even better, then the place started jumping, almost bursting into song.

*forgive and forget*

oh i did too...i'm not trying to sound above anyone.

i just remember sitting back and thinking, are we all a bit sad?

but nah, it was all just a bit of craic to me.

i was actually running a table quiz fundraiser thing at the time, and i was quizmaster, and i purposely stopped the quiz when i saw on the TV screen that Mexico scored. everyone then went nuts with excitement.

so i did encourage the reactions a little bit

I love this article on the SS website, published on June 11th.

France manager Raymond Domenech has described Wayne Rooney as his 'idol' but admitted he is fearful of coming up against the England striker at the World Cup.
