[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 552363, member: 57076"] exactly my point. England, though a great nation, has always behaved like a small nation (as other small nations do). Provoking, angry in competition, [U]extremely[/U] sensitive to criticism, always trying to prove something, taking any victory in any field as the holy proof they're the elite race, "shoving it" in ppl's faces for weeks and months, even years sometimes...the trait of great nations is usually a bit of hindsight, distance from all this. A certain confidence and no need of having to prove prove prove all the time... The English will wear and put their flags EVERYWHERE. I wouldn't be surprised to see one in someone's toilets one day. It's quite bizarre to be honest, but of course there's a smartass answer to that, even though it's just a fact ! I know of course you were kidding with your post, and I know obviously you didn't make the banner...but it's smt I've yet to understand, that extreme vehemence in the English character, those strange conflicted aspects and superiority/inferiority complexes... Anyways: may the best team win ! [/QUOTE]
