I don't know if you celebrate this in UK, but just wanna say

" Happy Thanksgiving to you "

5555 reading this makes me wish I had watched the game at home..

I'm English but I'm living in BKK at the moment,. so I had a very late night, watching the game in a coffee shop, in Pinklao.

I did exactly the same thing as your friend (until my net connection died just after 1/2 time...) I followed the build up to the game (team news etc...) on radio 5 on-line, then, when it finally appeared on Thai TV, tried to pretend I was really using my laptop, rather than watching the match.

It's wierd.. If I'm not in a pub, with a pint in my hand, I can't 'watch' England!!! I dunno why, I have this irrational fear that if I really 'watch' the game, we'll lose, for sure... If I'm at home, I always have to find something else to do too.

Back in Pinklao, there was no built up to the game, no national anthem, no footage of the soaking wet fans eager to see us go through... as soon as the game kicked off, one of the terrestrial Thai TV channels nicking the ESPN feed and dubbed the commentry in Thai...

The 1st half was pretty grim. McLaren's England are definitely not a classy looking team. Too many long balls and scappy passing for my liking.

At half time, the other Thai guys watching the game were all complaining (about me.. not to me...) They wanted to watch Portugal or Germany but couldn't as the farang was sat there...(the same farang that's expected to understand their Thai when they want to talk to me is supposed to be totally dumb, and unable to follow the conversation whenever they complain about me...) A couple of students staggered, back from a late night out and started making fun of the fact that England were about to '' ตกรอบ"

I thought the same thing about the penalty. As soon as I saw Lampard step up to take it, I though f**k.. there's no way this is gonna go in.. There was a close up of him, just before he kicked the ball it and I couldn't help but think that he looked really nervous. I went crazy when we scored again, and it was 2-2.... I jumped up, and started cheering at the telly... "ฝรั่งบ้า"was overheard a lot...

Whenever I used to go and watch footie with my dad, and our team gave up, midway through the game, he always used to say 'They're playing for a draw...' (meaning that, whenever my team - sheff U - played for a draw, they normally lost...) As soon as it was 2-2, England started playing like they were 4-1 up, pointless passing in midfield, and back to the goalie... It would be OK if we were France, or Germany and could control the ball. But we're not!! We're England. We're sh*te at keeping hold of the ball. It was like, 70 minutes in, the players were waiting for the ref to blow the whistle and expecting the game to be over. Like we were playing for a draw.

When Croatia's 3rd went in, I was gutted... There was no way Russia were going to lose. We were out.

At the end of the match the first thing that the Thai commentator said was " อังกฤษ ตกรอออออบ"
the long, exaggerated drawn out sounds made it sound like he was really happy, or at least very excited by the news... At least back in England, the commentator would have shown his disappointment, or sounded slightly sad that England had failed to go through.

As soon as the Thai commentator had said this, the mob of guys who were sat watching the game with me, repeating the same phrase and laughed.... lots...

Yesterday it was the same. Almost everyone Thai that spoke to, told me the same phrase, some even tried to 'teach' it to me and explain what it means...

It's probably one of the few Thai phrases I won't forget...

But, sounds like you had a better time watching the game than I did. None of the disappointment that English fans feel... Plus you got a tenner out of it :)

้how are you to day?

แต่แวะมาทักทาย

ปล.คุณta/'o-o/' คงไม่ได้อยู่เมืองไทยใช่ไหมคะ
ถ้าไงเดี๋ยวลอยกระทงเผื่อนะ

Oh.. h*ll! I've given up on England long time ago. They don't go for winning goal. The only thing I love about this game and any other games, like Ta, is Beckham's curved balls. So beautifully executed and the ball just heads straight into the goal!

ง่ะ นอกจากวิสกี้จะไม่ค่อยชอบติดตามฟุตบอลแล้วในอเมริกายังไม่ค่อยมีให้ดูอ่ะค่ะ มีแต่อเมริกันฟุตบอลซะส่วนใหญ่
