The England Job

There's nothing worse than walking into a pole.

I been Gdansk before... and while it might be a big industrial shithole port, just up the road is Sopot and it has a beach and they have raves and stuff on it. OK, the Polish summers aren't famous but that place was so nice the Nazi's used it as their high command base type place in the north and commandeered the Grand Hotel and all the surrounding mansions for their top brass. Now the Nazis rightly got some bad press - but you can't fault them for elegance.

You really can't get less English supporterish than going to the Spain games and taking in some nazi sightseeing. Well done Woland.

Mate of mine went to Krakow with a load of meathead ex-marines. Kept on bumping into bunch of Poles who just wanted to fight with them. A few bars tred to scam them as well but I think there were too many big dodgy fuckers with them for that to happen

The whole fucking place will not only have the local robbers in force but it will basically become the world championships of pick pocketing and all the thieving gypsy bastards from every corner of Europe will be there. But I reckon we'll only hit the main Euro champ type places on the day of the match and then go exploring out in the sticks.

Half the fun of having these tournaments, is the chance to see English press and fans wip themselves up in to a frenzy about how they're going to win it, only to play like retards and get fucked off home before the real stuff gets started - ocassionally they manage to creep through the rounds with a mixture of luck and more luck, which is fine because it ineviatably leads to England getting beat by Germany on penalties which is always comedy gold.

The only other teams I love watching implode at major tournaments are the Dutch, because they're so well drilled in it and the Scottish, because they've turned it in to an art form and if there's even a sniff they'll do well, the pull out the big guns and spectacularly de-rail themselves.

Fuck watching the Spanish bore every team into submission by passing the ball to themselves.... and we all know that Germany doing well in Poland will give tabloid press copywriters too much of a field day it'll be more cringeworthy than normal. I can tell you now that someone will write a variant of "Germany rolled in to Poland intent on crushing their opponents.... not for the first time".. blah blah blah

France are too dull when the fuck things up, Portugal too gay and the Republic of Mexico are about as exciting as watching jelly set.

I hope the Danes do well*.

Republic of Mexico?

South of the border - it's a term of endearment from those in the north.
