Re: Euro 2012
Remember the guy at the airport who made a comment about a woman in a hijab, theoretically a conversation between 2 people, but another person either overheard or was told of the comment and made a complaint which cost him several hours and his flight.
It used to be possible to pay a woman a compliment but now that isnt allowed, it is sexist.

Germany Portugal final. Would be nice to see Spain do it again though but I think Portugal will be too determined for Spain tomorrow.

Re: Euro 2012
Come to what?
The BBC was reporting how it was unsafe for people to even travel to Euro 2012 because of violent racism. Not really been the case has it?
My wife spent 2 weeks in Kent on an English speaking course when she was 16. In that time her and her friends were told to "F off home you F*ing Sp*s" by a bunch of lads in a car who then mounted the pavement as if they were going to run them over. A middle aged woman at a bus stop also told her and her friend to "F*ing speak English"
Like I've said before, UK is no racial utopia, the press should look closer to home instead of always insisting how racists "backward" European countries are.

Back in N.E.England at the minute, so more active on the forum than normal due to the rainy weather.
That's my excuse anyway.

Re: Euro 2012
I can generally tell Spanish visitors in a UK street by two measures - one they talk louder, two they look a bit smarter than say the French. Although it has to be said all young people's fashions are starting to look the same to me..

Re: Euro 2012
They were in a part of Kent where many young Spanish people go to learn English so I guess the locals dont like them
Good job the locals dont treat the Brits like that in Spain!
Anyway, back to football. I go for a Spain Italy final. The Germans are overrated.
2-0 to Spain tonight

Re: Euro 2012
Spain make it to the final..just. They did seem stronger by extra time, so probably a fair result. Could have been a different story if Ronaldo had put his chance away.
