[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 342570, member: 12312"] I'm fine with people from other countries saying that, but the fact is that you'll never convince a large number of New Zealanders of that. How effective is a tag or name-calling if people on the receiving end don't choose to absorb it? Choking is a tag given by outsiders that have labelled a team "favourites" and it's there to try and bring that team down, because those saying it have always wanted to get the better of that team, but haven't been able to. It's like someone laughing at you because someone beat you at something that you usually kick ass at. The fact remains that the person saying it isn't as good as you are....period. :lol: There is of course a percentage of people over here who care about choking at world cups, but really most New Zealanders have heard this sad little chant so many times that really it's starting to make those sending it pretty childish. :) As I said earlier, many New Zealanders would like the World Cup again, but we'd all much rather be the team that's generally more often than not...the top of the world. You can scream "choke" all you like, but please scream loudly, it's hard to hear you from up here. :lol: [/QUOTE]
