So what did they predict for a score?

"World Cup match taps Revolutionary rivalry" by David Abel, Globe Staff | June 12, 2010

Thirty years after moving to Boston from Britain, Paul Stanislas, still an Englishman with an American-born daughter, has had to mull where his loyalties lie....

Something a dual-national Israeli never does.


Today, as the American team faces England in their opening match of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Stanislas has found himself in a position not unlike his Revolutionary-era ancestors who had to choose between king and colonies.

I know which side I would have been on!


I love America!!!

Not too crazy about AmeriKa, though.


Globe says GAME ON, readers.

Not wanting to be seen as a vestige of the redcoats in the cradle of the Revolution, he has arrived at a diplomatic solution.

“I suppose I will be hoping for a draw,’’ said Stanislas, who serves as president of the British American Business Council of New England.

Americans, notoriously oblivious to the world’s most anticipated sporting event, have taken a greater interest this year....

Don't speak for me, Globe -- especially when you wrap it in an insult.

The game will be broadcast on network television (2:30 p.m. EDT on ABC), and the House of Blues in Boston expects up to 2,000 US fans for the match.

I'll be watching, but not in a bar!

Yeah, push the booze on us, BG!

Another sign of US interest: Americans have flocked to South Africa to watch the tournament in far greater numbers than fans from any other country....

OH NO!!!!!

This is THEIR CHANCE THIS AFTERNOON!!!!!

Don't blow it, "Al-CIA-Duh."

The increasing prowess of the Americans has given pause to the English in Boston, who are all too aware of the “Miracle on Grass’’ in 1950, when the Americans shocked the English by beating them 1-0 during the World Cup in Brazil....

********************

Any qualms about raising the flag in a city from which the British were once booted?

“Despite the Revolution, this city feels fundamentally comfortable to us,’’ said Phil Budden, Britain’s consul general in Boston. “After all, it was founded by the British. There’s no other American city where I would rather be.’’

AS IF NO ONE ELSE was LIVING on this CONTINENT!!!!

But SOMEHOW Zionist, AmeriKan, or Anglo supremacism and racism is OKAY!

There are expatriates here rooting against their economic interests....

Stig Bjornebye, a Norwegian raised in England who helped found Boston Brits, a Facebook group that now has 550 members, relishes the opportunity to root for the English from the belly of the beast.

“I want to see England crush the Americans.... ’’ he said.

Globe says GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!

GOOOAAAAAL!!!!

ENGLAND, 1-nil!!!!!!!

He worried what a loss might do to the English psyche and compared a US win to what Americans might feel if an English football team beat the Super Bowl champions.

“If we lose, it would be a nightmare,’’ said Bjornebye, who has organized a gathering of local expatriates tomorrow at a bar in the Back Bay. “Football isn’t your game. If we lose at our game, I’m going to have a lot of American sports fans berating me for it, without even caring about it.’’

Hey, you ain't BP!

Think I care who wins some football game when we have that catastrophe and wars without end?

American anglophiles are also finding their loyalties tested.

Kelley Pope, who was born in Oklahoma City and now lives in Brookline, spent 12 years in London.

“I have to say that I’m rooting for England,’’ she said.....

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!

ENGLAND, 2-nil, says the Globe!!!!!!!

Traitor!

Michael Fallman, the American owner of the British Beer Company, said “We’re rooting for the Americans.’’

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL, AmeriKa!!!!!!

ENGLAND, 2-1, says the Globe!!!!!!!

Better hurry, AmeriKa -- time running out.

Paul Stanislas, who retains a strong English accent despite decades in the United States, said that he has been the target of some ribbing but that many of his friends are not aware of the World Cup.

“To be honest, I’m not sure the Americans are ready to take it all,’’ he said. “I suspect that if England wins, I’ll fly the flag at my desk.’’

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL, England!!!!!!

ENGLAND, 3-1 -- and THAT'S IT!
