I'd usually support France in any major tournament Ireland aren't part of (howya World Cup 02) and would buy a France tracksuit top or a jersey, but would this be at all acceptable if they knock us out?
Would it depend on the circumstances?
I'm still going to if it happens anyway but I'd like to know what level of abuse I'd get whilst doing so
Wgaf?
Supporting a foreign team you Judas :p:D
what a waste of good cyberspace.
after us, i'd like to see Spain win... if it matters.
Wouldn't bother me in the slightest, and don't see why it should bother anyone.
You've said if Ireland were there, you'd follow them. So if France get there, Ireland won't and there'd be no question of being disloyal, etc..
I'd say you'll get more abuse for starting this thread than supporting France.
Personally, I can't stand them, so wouldn't be supporting them anyway unless they were playing England.
Ya delorean but its like that jedward thing, we are all thinking what the fcuk is the eejit at? Yet we are still all replying!!!
Come on. You cant support them if they knock us out.
If we run out of internets, it's jebus' fault!Quote:

You could support them, but only in the manner of Éamonn Dunphié, by insisting that Thierry Henry is a good player, not a great player, by calling Abidal a clown, and by demanding Dominech's head on a plate if they fail to win any given game by at least six goals, as is the birthright of France.Quote:

Ill go for whichever ever team bar England has the most Man Utd or WX youths players.
Despite all the doom and gloom about the Irish team and how we lack players of the calibre of Brady, Stapleton, Whelan, Moran, McGrath, Lawrenson ect ect, we have still managed to survive a group which included the World Champions and now have the WC runners up ****ting themselves. In my book thats progress, whether we win or lose the playoff. I think it will be 0-0 tomorrow night and we will qualify with a late equaliser in Paris. A bumpy ride but was it ever any other way.
England for me, would love to see Brave John Terry lift aloft the WC. Love it I tells ya love it.:cool:
So I'm guessing a revised answer to this might be a resounding no? :)
You think?
i think the answer is a resounding who gives a fck.Quote:

Trust me they'd be the first to admit they didn't deserve to go through tonight, actually the ones I hung out with had the best attitude to football I'd ever seen, if they lost and deserved to lose they just shrugged their shoulders and said fair play to the better team, I doubt many on here can say they have that attitude to football in general. If they won after being the lesser of the teams they fully admitted so and didn't really celebrate too much. They only really celebrated when their team won and they won playing good football, they'd be appalled at what happened tonight.
Also Zidane is my favourite player of all time, Henry is still in my top three players playing at the moment and that new tracksuit top is so good I'd pay for it in blood (which I might end up doing it seems)
You seemingly considering you popped in to give your opinionQuote:

France have always been my fall back team in the WC's and Euros if Ireland don't make it but I just don't know if I can next year.
yeah twice. Support whoever the eff you like. Why do you think you need to ask retards like me on an internet forum what you should do?Quote:
