The British won the battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 although it was seen as a pyrrhic victory. We won but took a lot of casualties. The US beat England in the world cup in 1950 in Rio. The New York Post should have said " US get a great draw against incompetent England but it wasn't as good as 1950 when the US beat England "
I don't know why the North Americans see a win against the English as something great?? After all it was England they were playing, hardly a Germany or Spain.
Against the British? Don't mind any Scots, Welsh or N Irish in the team but good result for the Canadians.

ReplyDeleteAllan, yes their ida of British and English as usual seems a bit squeeif. They don't seem to know that England are no great shakes at footy anyway.
ReplyDeleteBunker Hill. Subrosa is almost old enough to remember that. I must ask her.
ReplyDeleteRosie, a fine win for the Scots against the mighty Pumas. Do you remember the battle of Bunker Hill?
ReplyDelete1-1 against America = Fail.

Banned, well a good part of the world thinks Britain is England, but you know better as you will find out soon when we fuck off and take our oil!
