Sure, I like the Brits myself—I read The Spectator every week :-). I used to share an office with an Englishman. Really nice guy, big soccer fan. Ex-soldier, ex-hockey player. Extremely polite, all the time. Except...when he was talking about soccer :-) For years, he would go on and on and on about how the English team was the greatest and most able of all, and how it was always somebody else's fault when they lost, be it the ref, supposed cheaters, the weather, anything. And how other teams never deserved anything they achieved. When they won, it was always only by luck, and through cheating. It could get really annoying, sometimes. But then, it was always fun, too. I miss him.
