Well done Welsh fans not booing US anthem

[Spicoli]

English hooligans simply don't like the US and it's because they are pathetic ignorant peasants who are oblivious to the fact that the USA and England are basically family.

If you want to boo my national anthem you had better hope I don't see or hear you do it in person

Would you prefer it if we changed the words instead of booing?
The land of the slaves and home of the cowards?

And saying we are family. Thats a new one on me!

You do realise your USA national anthem was written just after the burning to the ground of your entire capital Washington including the White House. It took over 5 years to rebuild the damage.

I believe it was in done in return for the USA causeing terrorist attacks on Canada.

We are far from family and IMO far from freinds, Youre republicans and we most certainly are not.

I missed this one...not much to say here.Wasp...this is just inflammatory bullshit.Great short sighted generalization........Fuck off ....twice!!

As I had grandparents who fought and put their lives on the line during World War 2, it's abit sad and pathetic to see a couple of brave souls sitting behind their computers slagging these people and what they did off.

Grow up, guys.

...hey I respect what the English did but to not see it as a group effort in defeating the Axis Powers is sad.

Much as I love a good row, I thought this thread was originally about the Welsh not booing the American anthem .... how did we suddenly get to the English on this? It is a fairly fine distinction, but Welsh people don't class themselves as 'English', especially on St George's Day

Incidentally, by a strange and vaguely interesting quirk of fate, my grandfather on my mother's side fought for the British/Allies in Europe but my grandfather on my father's side fought with the German Askari troops in East Africa. The side they happened to be on, or the army they were in, does not automatically make them cowards.

Being an ex-soldier myself, I can't help but get a bit defensive when I hear what I assume to be 'civilians' pontificating about the merits of relative combat bravery from the comfort of a computer screen, possibly when the nearest they have been to real conflict is watching Private Ryan' on the television

I must also (shockingly) agree with Lyle, that anyone whose country is being slagged off would probably get angry about it - but you're just fuelling a fire with some of these people, Lyle, I think.

Sex offender Since when They were all willing and OPEN to me; so they let themselves be violated Just ask your mum; she had a ball{actually 2 of them}

You come across like a right odd tosser.

I am that alright; a tosser. I toss their salds something fierce; mmmmmm, mmm I toss em' right out the door when I'm done with them as well.

The resistance movements in the Netherlands and France amongst others did a bunch to help win World War II.


I'm sorry if I came across as not respecting what the British did but I'll be damned if I am going to let anyone berate my country and boo my National Anthem, I am sure you understand my frustration.

Nice One, Lyle. My post wasn't aimed at anyone specifically just at the under riding tone of the topic regarding WW2.

As you rightly say the Allies effort was a joint one with many different countries involved. My Grandfather in the 53rd Welsh regiment helped liberate towns in Holland that were under occupation.

Also I agree that anyone booing another countries National anthem is showing a lack of respect and it shouldn't be accepted or condoned.
