What is with the crying after losing a game? Would Johnny Rotten cry? Winston Churchill?

I'm perplexed: You seem to be calling the World cup -- "A game".


You are not getting it, Winston Churchill stoically lost many things (that weren't really his) but I'm sure he cried over football --- sheesh.

Winston and Johnny weren't in touch with their inner cry babies the way athletes are today. WAAAAAAH! We lost a game. WAAAAAAH.

I've read a lot of and about Winston. He always knew where he was going. I doubt he had any care for any game but the great one and politics. He was a man fully aware of his own greatness, even when he made disastrous decisions he always knew destiny awaited.
Reportedly said he would make PM when he was 15.

Hh'mmm.... Guess he was a little older than that before he made it, Jeff.

His Mother screwing the King helped, no doubt. Then there's the little matter of Turkey and WW1.


Back to football, who said "It's not as if it's a matter of life and death; it's much more important than that"?

I propose to convene the Committee on Un-British Activities.
