SSS - Sad Sods at Soccer

ITALY vs ENGLAND MIS-MATCH

We at the OECD are a multi-cultural bunch of sods and sodines, and there are even a few Brits scattered throughout the 100+ offices. One with ginger coloured hair happens to work next door, and occasionally our paths cross when we need to savour on the delicious coffee served here (no sarcasm this time, it's really good coffee; Starbucks, roll over!). Needless to say that last night's implosion of the English squad at the European Championship in Poland came up.

Britquit [B]: "Close game, eh?"
E: "Huh? That was a game?"
B: "Well yeah, cud 'ave gone either way."
E: "You reckon? Must have been on a wrong channel."
B: "Wadda ya mean?"
E: "I mean to say that what I saw was a disgrace and a mockery at soccer. And I blame England for it."
B: "It's F-o-o-t-i-e, ok? Not soccer. We invented the game!"
E: "Yeah yeah, and Greece invented democracy; look where THEY are now."
