Dear Mr annoying American guy who was sitting near me last night...

When you go to a bar to watch a World Cup football game and said bar is FULL of England fans who are away from home and very excited about the possibility that their team might make it through to the semi-finals, DON`T cheer for the other team just to piss people off. If you had any Portugese blood in you at all it would be forgiveable but as you don`t, it really isn`t necessary to behave like a total wanker just to impress the under-age Japanese girls you are trying to get into bed with. When said football match goes to penalties and everyone in the bar (except you) is on tenterhooks hoping that their beloved team will be able to overcome the fact that Beckham was injured and wouldn`t be able to take a penalty and that they had in fact played with ten men for more than half the game after one of the England players got sent off for being too mouthy, it is NOT a good idea to continue behaving like a weirdo and cheering deliriously as everyone else groans. Had you been in England, you probably would have been carried out of the bar by half-time but as it was, the people in the bar were more tolerant of your antics and you only came close ot being punched in the face a couple of times.. first by me and the second time by one of your friends who couldn`t understand your need to go against the grain on such an emotional night. In future please remember that football really does bring out a bizarre patriotic side in many people and it is a good idea to be careful. Yours digruntled-ly The woman who was on her first late night out since her son was born and wanted to enjoy the atmosphere and not have it spoilt by someone who was just being an arse for the sake of it.

Oh sweetie! I'm so sorry that guy was behaving like a complete butthole! If it makes you feel any better, please know at least, this American watched the soccer match as well. And I *was* cheering for England! : )

That is the silly thing- there were other people from the US in the bar and he was the ONLY one who felt the need to behave like a wanker! Glad to know that there were more people out there cheering for England though. I am so sad they lost but having just found out that Brazil went out as well, I feel a bit better!

there aren`t many american men in Japan that aren`t complete assholes.

the women, on the other hand, are all right.

I hope you managed to squeeze in some fun anyway.

by the way, I sent you a box and calculated it`s value. I think it`s a giant bottle of cold beer next time I come visiting. and I promise to try not to be a wanker.

He definitely deserved to be beaten up by everyone in the bar.

Americans just don't get the football thing, do they? They still call is soccer, for freak's sake!

I'm sure the doofus went home with a bottle of vaseline and a well-exercised wrist. That's about all the action an idiot like this is ever going to get.
