Speaking of Passisive-Aggressive...
Wow, Canada... That`s harsh. What did England do to you this time?
Extract:
Give Canada this much. When we blow it on the international stage, we don’t blame sleepiness...
England is the kid you have to let play, because he’s the one who invented the ball.
“Tired” won’t cut it back home. The shattered English psyche needs a real reason. Not the real reason. Maybe something to do with Astrology or the prevailing currents. Something other than, “We carelessly forgot that we had to be good.”
...Seen from the distance of the colonies, this despondency is pretty hilarious.
The Daily Mail: “At least the sun’s still shining.”
The Sun: “You let your country down.”
The Daily Star: “ … as embarrassing a defeat as this proud nation has ever known.”
Well, there was that whole revolution in America … never mind.
No, this is bigger than politics. This is about cultural identity.
So it’s comforting to see that after giving the world Shakespeare, William Blake, the Beatles and its lingua franca, England still agonizes about its national game as much as we do over ours.
The difference being that we win occasionally.
Low blow?
Sorry.
No, not really.
(No update on Real Life shit, cause it`s been pretty shitty, and I`d rather just not deal with it right now.)
