Ewood and I Would 196 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) No. Last time I checked, football was a team game.. IS Andy Murray still at Wimbledon? ARE Marchester United in debt? See the difference? Edited June 30, 2010 by Ewood and I Would Link to post Share on other sites
bazza 1496 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The question was "Is England still in the World?" Which is correct English. My answer is "I ruddy hope so. I am fairly sure the country where I live hasn't been blasted off the face of the Earth". Link to post Share on other sites

broadsword 3270 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Last time I checked, football was a team game.. IS Andy Murray still at Wimbledon? ARE Marchester United in debt? See the difference? Depends whether you see England as a single collective entity (in which case it's "is") or a collection of individuals (in which case it's "and"). Either word is acceptable.

Ewood and I Would 196 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Depends whether you see England as a single collective entity (in which case it's "is") or a collection of individuals (in which case it's "and"). Either word is acceptable. Exactly, the England team are a collection of players. In the same way the collective nation of England wasn't in the world cup (only the national TEAM) the whole town of blacburn aren't in the the Premiership, the TEAM called Blackburn Rovers are. Ergo, "Blackburn is in the Premiership" sounds wrong and so by the same logic "England is in the World Cup" is also wrong. You would never use "is" to describe a club team so why does it suddenly become acceptable for a national team? Watch the video of this robbery in Oldham this week-Absolutely hilarious.

Dan 513 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I always thought the using of 'is' instead of 'are' was an American thing. I always noticed most of the American posters on here will say "Blackburn is winning". Always sounds wrong to me. I always wonder why they use 'then' instead of 'than'? e.g. I like pies more then beer. Is it just bad English or an American thing? Link to post Share on other sites
neekoy 61 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 "England is in the World Cup" You would never use "is" to describe a club team so why does it suddenly become acceptable for a national team?

Ewood and I Would 196 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Unless it was literal I don't think it is that large in reality though... LOL, nor is it a cup so it would be even harder to be 'in' it. Link to post Share on other sites
Amo 7822 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) I consulted my 'Written English' handbook: So what about sports clubs? Chelsea are top of the league or Chelsea is top of the league? Oddly, the former, plural version sounds better (neither sounds good if you support a rival team), so I recommend using it. Yes, this is different from my advice on corporates. Perhaps this is because Chelsea are clearly a team - fans have pictures of them on their walls - while Microsoft is a company, a legal entity. (My 'inner nerd' has just objected that sports clubs can also be companies. So? Stick to the rule. Manchester United has been bought by Malcolm Glazer. This refers to the legal entity that owns and controls the team. Manchester United are coming to Ewood Park in January. Team: eleven chaps in red shirts.)
