No. It doesnt. BP stopped being "British Petroleum" after a merger in 1998. "BP" doesn't stand for anything. It's an international conglomerate. And the oil spill was in US waters.
thank you ANON - was just about to point this out - and ginger just because it was a British Company remember it will have been US workers on the rig as well - don't just try and fob it off on us
Gotta be honest, I'm from the US and I'm not gunna pretend I give a fuck about soccer. If the United States won it would have been a joke because we call it something different than the rest of the world, who gives a shit if Ghana beat us? this is the only sport they play
Dude, fuck off, national pride is a total joke. You are proud to be born in this country? Thats like being proud to be tall; just a God damn coincidence. Lucky maybe, we have plenty to be lucky for, this place is great. But we aren't exactly a "soccer" nation. In fact America as a whole doesn't give a shit about "soccer". Ghana beat us, they played better, and we are out. Go Ghana!
Having pride in your country doesn't necessarily arise from the fact that you're born here. It could mean that you're grateful for and have used it's resources to bring your life in an amazing place that has given you the chance to contribute to your fellow man's efforts worldwide. In other cases people that come here and obtained citizenship are incredibly proud to be American. So have some pride in what your fellow countrymen do on the world's stage or just stick your head in a
No. No it doesn't. BP is about as British as the Boston Red Sox. BP is an international conglomerate; it stopped being British Petroleum back in the '90s. Get with the times.
Whats really funny is nothing anybody posts on this changes thw fact that usa lost everybody in the world hates us (until they need our help) and 90% of America doesnt care about soccer.

Haha. Like Baseballs "World" Series. Only 1 country "man" enough to play it. Hang on, is your football using just feet....? As logical as spending 3 bil on developing the space pen when a pencil will do.
Hey, I've got an awesome idea! Let's invent a text about some heated subject going on in America, even though it has nothing to do with a TFLN and actually has never been sent, so we can get over 90 replies of fiery people looking for a debate!
Okay I obviously root for the USA but like everyone says Ghana is a poor country and that is no ones fault they won fair and square when the us had many chances to win it's frusterating but to say they win in aides is horrible and immature it doesn't make us look any better when ass holes say shit like that. Fuck you guys
ha this is hilarious except the oil spill part, thats BP, which is British but at least they have one thing to be proud of, I mean they are the last African team left :/ but go USA in everything else!
Yeah, shocktroop55 makes a good point, everyone hates us until they get hit by a fucking hurricane or someother natural disaster. And keep bringing up hockey because that's all you Canadian motherfuckers have over us. And we don't particularly care what you think, becuase here in the US, we're better than you, and we know it.
And that would be the exact reason why the world hates you. And generally the world helps out with natural disasters not just the US. We also have the peace of mind that we can travel internationally without having to wear another country's flag.
Nevermind USA. No one cares about football, it's not manly enough right? How about a good ol England vs America rugby match instead? It's like your 'football' only we play without the padding.
Man, you folks sure hate the world.. Oh yeah right , American's..sore losers..I remember when you lost the Gold game to the Canucks..I think 99% of Americans showed their true selves.. pissy little bitches.
So, americans think that soccer aint a sport but golf is? pfft! and lets see.. they aint the best thing at everything, canada or russia takes hockey, japan takes baseball... and i can keep going .... NASCAR? really! you call that racing?? what a joke!
so you play football because you're too fat and uncoordinated to play soccer. Keep thinking you're better than everyone else because you play football you ignorant bastards.
I think we could take them in beer pong too. Also i played football for ten years and ill admit that soccer is a harder more physically challenging sport. This is coming from a dumb yank that doesn't watch soccer and canada you need to read some history books man a lot of world war two was against Japan but we still fought quite a bit in Europe ever hear of d-day.
Before you talk out of your ass again go look up the battle of iwo jima or Guadalcanal or tarawa saying we just bombed Japan is offensive on a side note i looked up d day and i never new canada had a wave go in and actually made it further than any other allied forces.

American football and rugby are both about the same when it comes to the physical challenge. In rugby you don't wear pads but in football the hits are harder. Now everyone is gonna argue this but it's a mental thing. With padding your body will actually allow you to hit harder but without it it will not because your body has a natural goal for self preservation.
Who ever said an English versus US rugby match your on, but you then have to play us at football or baseball or basketball your choice... Btw fuck Canada
@ neverland22, yeah, certain other countries help with natural disasters. But without the US there would not even be half as much aid being sent to the affected regions. And I'm not exactly sure what you mean with the flag thing.
To the hundreds of people dissing America and the people who live in said borders, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Hopefully most realise what America tributes world wide to people and the openess it shows to other countries. You cannot blame our retarded govermental system, because over half of us don't like it.
ha Ha Ha! of course the us would be pissed... they dont know how to loose.. and of course ya let the terrorist win... like always like the 5 year war and ya havent made anything good!
That is very true this is why American football causes so many concussions players run full speed into head on collision on rugby the tackles are more form takedowns and less driving impact
Don't think we'd ask for some help from the USA team... clearly. Still, chill out people. We both think that the other is stupid and ignorant. Just so happens that the brits, in a massive break in tradition, are right in this case.
You are clearly an uneducated Canadian. Have you heard of D-Day? It was a huge loss of American lives. Roughly 292,000 Americans died during the European campaign. Which is equivalent to about 10% of the Canadian population at the time. From here on out, how about dumb people aren't allowed to talk. k?
Well those coloreds were just faster than us today. They have been bread to run. They've been dodging coat hangers since they were illegitametly conceived..
