Ardent supporters, luke warm well wishers (I'm looking at you Scotland and Wales), waistcoat appreciators, Spurs, Arsenal, northern football fans, League 2 strugglers, those whose only interest is the office sweepstake, those playing 'It's coming home' on trumpets at 1am (I still haven't forgiven you for the vuvuzelas), those quietly sipping Chateauneuf du Pape with friends and family, Brexiters, Remainers and basically, anyone and everyone in between who isn't going to use the football as an excuse to jump up and down on emergency response vehicles or piss on a foreigner. Get over here now and leave the naysayers and misery gutses to it.

Come on England!!!

We were on holiday a few days ago and were singing along to Fat Les, Vindaloo!

Round and round round it goes in your head!

Dreaming or World cup Glory :)
Our local news (Look North) are visiting my sons school later today because John Stones was a pupil there. The whole school are dressed in their England tops singing to three Lions! How exciting for the kids

C'mon England

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/07/2018 10:00

That’s great they can dress up vicki. How exciting.

It's Coming Home,It's Coming Home,Football's Coming Home,It's Coming Home!

I can not wait for tonight and I shall have everything crossed for our lads.Grin

CharlieAustinsMagicHat · 11/07/2018 10:03

Have got butterflies already.

COME ON ENGLAND.

TeacupDrama · 11/07/2018 10:04

I have zero interest in Football, I shan't be watching but I hope they do well, it will not bother me personally for a quarter of a nanosecond if they lose.

I hope they win rather than any other team so I sort of vaguely support them I certainly don't wish them to lose. However, I do hope that win or lose we have no more expressing emotions or excitement or disappointment by damaging anyone's property or leaving broken beer bottles, vomit etc for someone else to clean up. I especially hope we have no increase in DV if they lose anyone that would harm someone else because of a sporting result needs perspective on sport and is a horrible mean bad person,

Simone Halep the tennis player said on losing 3 grand slam finals "I have lost 3 matches no one died"

LittleLionMansMummy · 11/07/2018 10:05

vickibee my dh never tires of telling me John Stones is an ex Barnsley player (he's from there and supports BFC). Also, his mum's best best friend's husband (now deceased) was good friends with Bobby Robson. That's just about my only tentative claim to football fame.

DH and I will don our lucky match shirts, I’m making a homemade (from scratch obviously ) pizza with a George cross. Courgette, cheese, onion, mushroom for the background, tomato and red pepper for the actual cross.
We will cheer and groan, as will our neighbours.

As for @laContessa, I will cheer on the other team for every match in which wales are playing from now, until the end of time, not only because of your “don’t care” but because of the sheer ignorance of you for even commenting on this thread when it specifically said “get over here if you want England to win” so technically LaCuntessa, you joined in so you do want England to win.

Scaramoose · 11/07/2018 10:09

Another nervous watcher for tonight here! I have to keep feeling emotional, which I realise is a bit ridiculous, and I’m also trying to convince myself that it doesn’t matter that much if they ar I to keep feeling emotional, which I realise is a bit ridiculous, and I’m also trying to convince myself that it doesn’t matter that much if they lose as they have done so incredibly well anyway. However, I don’t think I mean it - COME ON ENGLAND!!!!

DayManChampionOfTheSun · 11/07/2018 10:09

FINALLY!! I'm so sick of the Abe threads! I hate football but I love the songs and the getting togetherness of the matches! COME ON ENGLAND!

Come on England. After England not reaching the World Cup semi finals for 28 years, it’s lovely they have this time. They have done so well and I will support them tonight. I don’t know whether my nerves can handle it, though!

most of the team are from Yorkshire.
Stones, Maguire, Deplh, Vardy etc and Gareth Southgate lives in Yorkshire
Yorkshire grit winning for England just like the Olympics and the cycling. (Biased view)

SPOFS · 11/07/2018 10:17

Whatever happens, I am very proud of our lads. This is the first England team in a while that have been modest, respectful, and likable.

Do your best guys! Smile

WeirdCatLady · 11/07/2018 10:17

I’m not usually a football fan but I do hope tonight’s match goes well.

I’m feeling rather old remembering Italia ‘90 Blush

Come on the lads! Engurlund! And all that jazz Grin

cuddlymunchkin · 11/07/2018 10:20

Totally want England to win! Come on ENGLAND!!!

Its coming home I will be watching, I will be wearing my waistcoat, and I will be drinking beer

3DSpex · 11/07/2018 10:21

Not usually a football fan (more a football widow!) but I’m really excited!

It’s been lovely seeing people so upbeat and happy. This team have done so well and seem a great bunch.

Come on England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

kaytee87 · 11/07/2018 10:24

I'm Scottish and not fussed about football but I think England have done very well and hope they win. I'm going to a baby shower on Sunday and will be disappointed to miss the final if England get in.

RedBallpointPens · 11/07/2018 10:24

I've supported England forever and my first football memory is the penalties of '96. I can't really concentrate on much because I'm so excited! This group of players seem really lovely and like a proper team playing together.

Got my football songs on repeat today, and my fave is 'back home' from 1970. It's so sweet and I can imagine these lads singing it.

derxa · 11/07/2018 10:25

luke warm well wishers (I'm looking at you Scotland and Wales) That's struck a sour note actually. I'm supporting England this time because they've got rid of the arrogance. I'm nervous for them. From a Scot who actually likes football.
