I saw that during the soccer halftime yesterday. Have you noticed Dodge no longer uses the Ram on their autos for the logo?

Jeez.

The Americans really will do anything to sell anything.

Only they can take a war that happened nearly 300 years ago and use it to advertise cars.

Personally I'm looking forward to the advert when the TVR is used to quell a group of Nazis.

Skittles,

Could you please provide us with an itemized list of things that will not offend you so that we may get on again with having good honest fun in these forums without offending you?

Cheers,

Ken you've got things mixed up - it's us Brits that are supposed to be the masters of irony.

I don't get 'offended' on internet forums in the slightest. You seem to mistake the fact that I often disagree with people as that I've taken offense. Please feel free to browse through my postings here and find something (anything at all) I've taken offense to. Perhaps in the meantime I'll drag up those posts where you were lambasting those for making jokes about Mussolini and Hitler because they trivialized war. I suppose there are different standards involved when it's the Americans at play.

Surely the observation about TVR's taking on a group of Nazis is enough to suggest my post was tongue in cheek.

The trend on here to belittle anyone who has a valid differing opinion is tragic.

Snuffy,

If ole George had one of those, I'm sure he would have loved it!

He was considered an excellent horseman, so he seemed to like the speed and freedom of personal transportation!

Nice one!

No Skittles, frankly I didn't think Nazis had a damn thing to do with anything here.

But, since you seem to be obsessed about British versus American, perhaps you can just tip a pint and enjoy the game!

It's tied right now 1-1.

[Ken Stallings]

Well, the Yanks earn a point against the top draw in their pool!

Match finished tied 1-1 and we had a chance to go ahead hitting a post. But, our lone goal was on a clear mishandle by the English net minder.

Well it's just finished and frankly England looked very average...not to take anything away from the USA team (several play in the UK) but I was hoping for more. I was 14 in '66 when England won the World cup and although the players in those days were paid a pittance in the professional game, they seemed so much more pumped-up and eager to win then...perhaps it's the old filthy lucre has taken the edge off the international game?

Yes...but we call them goal keepers, although net minder seems more polite

I just wanted to reciprocate his politeness for us!

I was wondering how those tied games worked out........

 

[Roger]

Have to say though I don't appreciate the theme of the Challenger advert. The British Army tend not to do too much running away, especially from a vehicle that steers like a brick!

Beware: Tongue in Cheek

Cars, 'ey?
I don't know what the SOH membership demographic looks like in detail, but I imagine about half would be smacking their knee and going Haw! Haw! at that punchline...
But you Poms shouldn't get too sanguine, after all we are hearing stuff like "Spitfire Beer", 70 years after the event...
On with the soccer, let the most obnoxious lot win!

 

[Bjoern]

3/10 for the commercial.


But 10/10 for that hilarious english goalie! :d

 

[Matt Wynn]

But 10/10 for that hilarious english goalie! :d

right with you on that one

 

[Cratermaker]

I would like to congratulate the goal keepers from both teams for the great job they did in preventing the USA from losing. :salute:

 

[jmig]

I can sympathize with Mr Green. He obviously is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, to be playing on the English team. It just goes to show that no matter who you are, as a human, you will make mistakes and commit errors.

The ball looked to just have bounced off his gloves. He probably will never make that error again in his professional career. What a time to drop the potato. I can feel for him.
