I was in a bar that i go to for sporting events and it was loaded with very quiet English people today. There is only one SA person in town that I am aware of and he was at a different pub.
Yesterday when the English fans started the usual "it's coming home" arrogance, i put a bet on SA... i was the only person in the pub today that won. I didn't brag... no need to rub it in.
I agree why rub it in. I was in Paris with a group of guys in 1999 and South Africa had just demolished England in the quarter finals. We had put up with their usual before the game singing it's coming home and shit and the trophy has only visited England once when they won in 2003. Football they won in 1966 and they still go on about it so the World Cup is like their Holy Grail they keep trying to get. I blame the English media though as they keep acting as though they have won it before they actually have and live in a dream world. I am sure they just carried on drinking in the bar as what else can they do lol.
