We have baseball over here, but we call it Rounders, and is played by all the girls in school when the lads are playing football. ... I'm sure there are some differences between the two rules wise .

I think it wont just be LFC but many of the other big spending clubs that will be soon looking at a reality check in the high salary department, and that is from the Premiere League down to the small clubs, not a whole lot of money at there and many clubs will be more frugal.

OK... allow me to, as an Englishman, be the first to apologise...
We are totally football (soccer) crazy as a nation, myself included, but this is a disgusting thing to do and has been carried out by people with very low IQ and zero respect.
There is no excuse for this, but it is more of a reflection on this small group of thugs then it is on Britain as a whole.
In fact... these people are so dumb I’m surprised they got the right flag.
Seriously though... Sorry about this... it is very shameful and the kind of thing most English people do not want to see!
Personally... I’m just looking forward to the World cup and especially the first game (England Vs USA)
I'm sure it will be a great game and i would like to USA do well in this tournament... although hopefully not at the expense of England
May the best team win

Football (not Soccer) is huge in England, most fans care more about their club team than they do about the national side. Its as important to many fans as religion, if not more. Fans are seeing "outsiders" comming in to their club, who have no connection with the local area and basically taking over and loading clubs with debt.
Fans are angry, burning a US flag is a symbolic gesture to the American owners. NOT against America and its citizens.
You yanks really know how to make a mountain out of a mole hill dont you.

I am always laughing at those idiots that burn flags.
All I see is a piece of cloth going up in flames thinking a flag maker somewhere in my country is making a buck of of these idiots
