I AM EXCITE

USA, USA, USA

Except I want England to win because they want it more

don't tell them

USA USA USA

[puella_nerdii]

Quoth Pyrrhic on Twitter: that's why I want them to lose.

[lynn_pryderi]

I saw, but I can't help it, I admire their...passion? Fervor? Delirium?

But I will still be cheering for the US! C:

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Mostly what I've seen is "mortal dread of humiliation."

But I suppose that can also be very inspiring.

[zalia]

It's so sad. We have no terrible racist/World War related football chants to do with America.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Poor England, sitting in the stands, positively flummoxed about what to shout, trying to come up with more things that rhyme with 'Yank.'

[puella_nerdii]

Well, there's always skank? Might send the wrong message, though.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

My mind went to 'spank,' personally, but America would just leer at him if he used that one.

[meltedpeep]

Okay, I've got a sandwich and a sketchbook and I am ready to be yelled at by British people.

LET'S ROLL.

[puella_nerdii]

OMGYESYESYESYES

I am so excited for this you have no idea

[ellenel13]

Wait wait wait.

If we win, will it knock England off the tournament?

BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE IT A THOUSAND TIMES SWEETER.

BRITISH TEARS WOULD CROSS THE ATLANTIC.

[vulchu]

Tragically no. This is group stage, even if England loses here they'll probably still advance to knockout.

[ellenel13]

Just in case the obvious needs to be pointed out, this is a perfect opportunity for someone to write a "America and England make a juvenile and possible sexual bet about winning/losing this game"

[puella_nerdii]

What do you think Mith and I are writing? *grin*

[ellenel13]

. . . Will you post it?
