How is he betraying his country by wearing an England strip? As you say, he's not English.

I said that he was wearing an Argentina strip.There are 4 countries in the UK,and they are all united under the same flag.So,even though he is Scottish,he shouldn't have done this -at least openly-.

Surely he's betraying Scotland and not England?

Nope,I say he betrayed the UK.

So you're saying that us Scottish folks should be supporting England seeing as Scotland didn't get in? But that in itself is betrying Scotland.

Why should it be?One can think that if it is not Scotland winning then it should be a country from the UK.

Only if one believes in a United Kingdom. For all you know he could support Scottish independance, after which Scotland will not be part of the UK. Or he maybe just supports a team that does something well and has no time for blind patriotism.

You could believe that he only supports a team doing something well if that was the only case.But there are others,we often hear those from him.I don't support the ideas of a country being seperated from the one it belongs until I see some reasons.To be honest,as much as I see the UK looks within peace with its 4 countries,that's why I don't understand him.

Ellfinnity, you watching the semis later?

[Hammer278]

As predicted...

RAFAEL NADAL

VS

NOVAK DJOKOVIC


Bets please!! My money is on Nadal this time around, he looks ruthless right now. I predict a 4 set victory.

[vlad]

Nadal looks stronger than ever, to be honest. But. Nole crushed Federer so easily... It's going to be close, very close.

Federer was just hopeless on the backhand. Seriously, he's totally out of sorts in this tournament, lost a set in every match he played in so far if I'm not mistaken?

[vlad]

I don't know if you paid attention to Nole's attitude. He was so cool and focused on a specific style of play, that, eventually, allowed him to win pretty easy.

[Hammer278]

Yeah, that's kind of my point...he had a game plan, which was to just focus on Federer's backhand and it paid of big time. I mean seriously, Federer's backhand is usually his strength! Today it was his achilles' heel.

I wasn't at home when the first 2 sets of Djokovic vs Federer was on.I am not going to watch the matches now,I don't get the same enjoyment when I know the results.

In the 3rd set Federer was just hopeless he could hardly win his serve game and he usually couldn't make his 1st serves in.Djokovic was also good but as you guys say I just can't guess too,Nadal and Djokovic are really close

[vlad]

The tension is building, it all starts soon!

[elfinitty]

This match is very important for both of them after 41 yrs djokovic is going to be the first one to win 4 grand slams consequently or nadal is going to win his 7th roland garros title

[Hammer278]

Nadal looked so strong in the first set, and the gradually going downhill.

I predict if he loses the 4th set, he loses the match...has to finish it in this set!!!

[vlad]

Nice to see that Nole came back in the match. I had to go away for a while.
