No, probably because I look more like Tuvok. I think England will get to the final but once they play a half decent team like France or Belgium again, they’ll get battered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a professional performance. Maguire, Henderson and Lingard being the standouts for me, as well as Pickford for his saves. Our back three, although prone to the odd mistake here and there, looked resolute in that game and each seem to be growing in confidence game by game. Kyle Walker should thank Southgate for prolonging his career at top level by changing his position, a masterstroke, Stones looks like the Centre back he was touted to turn into and Maguire is my player of the tournament for England.

Divorced Dad Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Absolutely thrilled for England there! I was only 2 weeks old the last time they made a world cup semi final so this is one of my favourite footballing memories already! Only downer for me has been supporting England as an Englishman living in Scotland and having to deal with all the miserable cunts up here.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2018 If we win this thing, there will be fucking films made of Gareth Southgate (played by the actor who played Andy Sugden in Emmerdale) about his journey from penalty miss to World Cup glory. You couldnt write it. The last time we were in a semi final of anything was 96, when he missed that penalty. Would be an amazing story. Unreal performance from England. Just calm as you like. I've seen good players completely bottle games like that. But this squad has no fear. It's great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2018 I've completely forgotten: do they still have the 3rd/4th place playoff in the World Cup? If so, how late are the English players going to be getting back to their clubs (assuming they don't make the final)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous the amount of people of my Facebook posting shite about #anyonebutengland and talking about how they just can't bring themselves to support England when they have no reason to be biased against England other than being miserable cunts. Were it Scotland, Ireland or Wales in this position I'd be thrilled for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's ways of doing things, but I don't begrudge anyone outside of England for not wanting to support them. Do you think many Man Utd fans were begging for Liverpool to win the Champions League final? Incidentally, I don't remember too many England fans being hugely positive when Wales made the semis of Euro 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divorced Dad Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 There's not supporting someone though and then there's actively being a bigot which is what I've experienced over the past few weeks. Also from the England fans that I know everyone was positive about Wales making the semis and wanting them to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I completely agree that Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland shouldn't be expected to cheer on England, and in they're well within their rights to wish us all the failure under the sun, I would estimate that about 75% of England fans were cheering on Wales in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted July 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2018 It's not literally the oldest rivalry @Daaaaaad! It is the oldest rivalry. Also if you follow this link here https://www.ufwc.co.uk/results/ it will show you the lineal World Football Champions dating back to that very first game in 1872. Croatia are currently defending that title against Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
