    Spain's attitude is disgusting. Delighted to see them gone

    Just looking up on the rules for badminton and discovered that the shuttlecock can reach speeds in excess of 400km/h :eek:

    Spain are out of the footie (and throwing their toys out of the pram), Britain win 3-1 so should be through I think.

    Typical of Spain and Barcelona's attitude when they lose. Disgusting.

    They would be so much more likeable if they occasional time they lost they did it with some dignity. I think that's why a lot of people accuse Spain of being boring.

    Of course they aren't boring in a footballing sense, but I can see where people are coming from. They are like that kid in school that is good at everything. People just hate them :pac:

    Chloe hammers the sh1te out of her opponent, an Irish dude playing tomorrow against the world no. 1. Methinks he won't have it as easy as Chloe did.
