It's not arrogance to think the best if you actually are AND THEN YOU WIN. And people after that will eventually praise you for having the strenght of living up to your premises.
To think you are the best when your team never made it to the semifinals, it's plain stupid.
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Errr, isn't that the definition of arrogance?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

You will rarely use the word "arrogant" when referring to an underling who talks big words in the face of his superiors. OTOH, you'll rarely use the word "insolent" about an overlord who talks crap to his lessers.

Delusional is the term I would use but arrogance works even if insolence or delusion are more apposite. Arrogance is just the exhibition of pride to the extent that you consider yourself superior to others, it can be completely unfounded and be called arrogance without necessarily being a misapplication of the term.Originally posted by Spiffor

I know we've got a couple of empty match days, but this is a World Cup thread chaps....you've got the rest of OT to be pendant geeks in.
England are delusional if they think they can win the world cup.

China soccer bias forces apology
Australian fans in Sydney watch as their team loses
A Chinese TV football commentator has apologised for on-air remarks made during the World Cup match between Italy and Australia earlier this week.
Huang Jianxiang lost his cool when Italy knocked Australia out of the World Cup with an injury-time goal.
Shouting support for Italy, he made comments such as "I hate Australia" in a rant which lasted several minutes.
After complaints from Australian fans, Mr Huang apologised, saying his emotions had got the better of him.
Comments such as "long live Italy" initially caused amusement.
But after several minutes and failed attempts by colleagues to stop him, Mr Huang faced a barrage of criticism.
A well-known and normally reserved commentator, Mr Huang at first refused to apologise for his outburst.
But he said listening back to his performance, he felt he had included too much personal feeling in his commentary.

Sheesh! I expected more from these two great footballing nations. Lots of tidy possession from either side until the last third, where they'd give-it-away and then the other side would go and do the same. Two shots all half.

Well, that was quick ...
