How I stuck it to the Merkins!
So today England and USA were playing simultaneousley (for those who really don't know by now I'm a Brit in the US.

The bar I watched the game at only had 1 tv. I refused to put the USA game on. Ha! Take that, Merkins!

Ha!
Did you drink tea throughout the game?

Wearing a bowler hat?

And occasionally glancing at The Times crossword.

We had to finish off the bottle of bacardi and the two bottles of wine
the night before. Saves packing (I was up in the mountains for a club fishing trip)

Did anyone actually care though?
About not being able to watch the soccerball game?

One couple really did.
The man was a high school soccer coach. I switched it over at half time and full time just as USA scored.

World Cup 1998
In '98 I was stuck for 4 hours in a "Transit Lounge" (ie large empty room with one TV, one toilet and a water fountain) at LA airport with another Englisman and about 400 Americans.

The TV was stuck on one channel which was showing the World Cup. The Americans were complaining until USA v. Iran came on... cue much jingoism and nationalism and whoops about how they were going to stick it to them.

As the game wore on the Americans became less interested. My mate and I got louder and louder as the Yanks quietened.

When the Iranians scored their second goal we could barely shout as we were howling with laughter.
