Nah, it's like England fans really, though all the usual ironic or otherwise "murica" crap does wear a bit more.  There was some loon that was saluting during the anthem with a rage face on :lol:

I think it's funny that Amerika gets bashed for this yet EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, acts the very same way. LMAO

Not really, haven't seen many German or Algerian fans truck out weirdly nationalistic stuff over their wins.  Biased in the fan sites I read though, get a lot of casual fans or just jackals who think the height of banter is referencing WW2 or the Yugoslav wars :lol:

1. They were expected to be great.

 

2.  They have no problem tooting their own horn. See it everywhere so why do you make stuff up? Every country does it. Every. single. one.

You should be. They were dominating.  It's soccer. Youa ren't gonna score 5+ goals just b/c you were the best team.

Algeria wasn't expected to be great, though.  I expect celebration but with some fans it grates on my nerves, granted am not hanging out in Algiers or Bern to see all the reactions as I did mention it's skewed by the fan sites being predominantly Anglo.

 

Germany was dominating but kind of a toothless sort, I guess once 1-0 up they decided to take it easy and just ride out the game.

Reisistance is futile. The demographics are against you. Unless you start having more babies than the hispanic population.

I am not sure who to support here. On the one hand eleven hardworking, passionate, plucky representatives of a nation that is in every respect a dwarf among football giants and who try to make up for their lack of individual talent by giving it their very best, and on the other hand there's South-Korea.

 

Just kidding, neighbours! Your team is actually quite decent. On paper.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

ps as to ann coulter (who the hell is ann coulter... she is that woman who wishes she were bill o'reiley, yes?) we took the article as being a bit tongue-in-cheek, and some observations were clear ridiculous, but she managed to get a few chuckle-worthy snippets in as well.

Algeria with the equalizer off the free kick.

Do not Algerian women like football? I couldn't spot a single one among their supporters. Also, could someone throw out those guys with the laser pens? What an incredible dickmove.

I haven't seen any Algerian women among the fans either.

 

Then again, that might be because I am watching the South-Korea - Belgium game.

 

South-Korea should really work on getting a better keeper. This one's dreadful.

Her body of work is outrageously funny. However I never find her books classified as Satire at Barnes and Noble or Amazon along with Colbert and Jon Stewart.
