Wrecking rooms, kicking holes in doors & walls, vomiting all over the place and general anti social behaviour, which is then condoned by the likes of some of the lesser intelligent morons on here. Perhaps, that's how they are at home. :crazy:
all true

Where do you condemn it? JAL even sent a letter to A.O.C. re aussie behaviour on the flight back to Australia. Yes, not in your league, in fact, well above it. Oh, and by the way, I don't condone the behaviour after the Euro final.

They were simple questions, can you not answer them?

Keep up C grade

Oh geez. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

No worries I'll take that as you admit you were wrong and can't answer simple questions.

Better luck next time C grade.

I was not shocked, but seeing, as grosso puts it, a Mickey Mouse tournament, why the big deal then?
Now, Bomber - I gotta know. Are you agreeing with what’s-it’s-name that it’s Mickey Mouse?

Let me remind you of a few gentle facts about Olympic Football:

1. Your country of heritage Polska has won gold and silver there with greats like Lubanski, Deyna, Gadocha, Lato & Szarmach playing in those teams. Polska beat Straya in a semi in ‘92 when it had Zelic, Bosnich, Okon, Mori, Popovic, Corica and T. Vidmar in the team.

2. What’s-it’s-name’s Italia has participated in FIFTEEN Olympic tournaments, winning a gold and two bronzes along the journey. Great players like Chiellini, Pirlo, Nesta, De Rossi & Albertini played in the Olympics. Did they or the FIGC think it was Mickey Mouse?

And look at some of the other gold medal winners like Spain 🇪🇸 with the likes of Xavi, Puyol, & Gaurdiola playing, then Argentina with Messi, Tevez, Aguero, Riquelme, Di Maria, Mascherano & Zabaleta. What about gold medal winners Brazil with Neymar, Jesus, Thiago and Ronaldinho & Adriano playing in past teams? Do you think they or their countries think they were participating in a Mickey Mouse tournament in front of massive crowds?

I don’t think so.
Your ability to comprehend sarcasm is wilting, Costa. Does that (sort of) answer your question?
