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!!!

Sending you every good wish from New Zealand. I hope you pull it off.

LittleLionMansMummy · 11/07/2018 12:09

@ThursdayLastWeek I read your post and thought of this. Feel free to borrow if anyone accuses you of being a racist apologist. I get fed up with the Facebook updates declaring crap like "a homeowner has been prosecuted for flying the George Cross. Share this if you agree that our national flag shouldn't be flown for fear of offending a foreigner". So I posted this.

I'm Scottish and hoping England win tonight

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 11/07/2018 12:09

I've found my people!

In the interest of England winning I will be eating a lucky Magnum during the match. I feel I need to continue my ritual!

BroomHandledMouser · 11/07/2018 12:10

Good luck England, from another in Ireland.

The excitement must be ace, it will be celebrated here too as we have Harry & Meghan here on their mini moon.Smile

Three Lions on the shirt

I'm not interested in any sport but as a patriot (and a Remainer!) I'm rooting for England!

NorbertTheDragon · 11/07/2018 12:22

Oh no, not more football. Hmm

GrinIT'S COMING HOME!!!! Grin
I'm so bloody nervous about the match I almost don't want to watch.

I only watch football during the Euros and the World Cup, and always get really into it. I'm supposed to be at a school thing 6-8pm but might rush off early. It's only my dc's education, nothing important. Wink

SleightOfMind · 11/07/2018 12:22

Hate football culture and all the xenophobic mysoginistic bullshit it encourages but am hugely heartened to see a change in this embodies by the current manager and young players.

You’d have to have a heart of stone to not want them to win.

DeltaG · 11/07/2018 12:22

DH is French. I'm sick to the back teeth of all the gloating and slagging off of England from his family (he's not too bad), friends and French TV already. It's gonna be fucking unbearable if they win..... 😩😵

sirlee66 · 11/07/2018 12:23

It's comin 'ome!!!!!! So excited!!

SleightOfMind · 11/07/2018 12:27

And misogynistic ffs.

Delta, that sounds a bit grim. I’m sure it’s lovely to support a team but why should it tip over into hatred of the other nationalities?
