Sorry, Mods, but....

If they can celebrate a 1-1 draw as a win, there's no hope for afghanistan.......mind you, looking at their history of conflict (vietnam, etc) I understand...........!!

That is brilliantly, typically American!! :o :o :o :o :o

Trust them, and they compare it to a battle in the American War of Independence if memory serves me correctly! ::) ::) :D :D :D :D :D :D

Just think what they would have reported if they had of won! :D :D :D ;)

They are always hoping, and all Americans I have met in the States and elsewhere are so insecure of having 'non'history', that they go to great lengths to get to know and say that their "great,great,great,great,great Aunt came from England"!! :D :D :D

We have thousands of years of history, they have barely 400 years, poor souls :'( :'(

I do not think that is a realistic proposition with what is going on in the Gulf Optimist! :D :D :D :D ;)

I reckon they will be taking a lot more away from us! :'( :'( ;) ;)

What they are actually saying is that the best they can do against us in the last 255 years is a draw!!!

Mind you -- it must be the only conflict involving Americans where they haven't inflicted severe injuries upon their own side ::)

There were 2 frenchmen for every colonial fighting the english....and...

... I quote "England deserved to win" Mrs. Gaffers (US citizen)

Anti British sentiment is rumbling in certain parts of the US right now but sure as sh!te they'll kiss our arse when it comes to the next conflict
