I mean, I definitely am Grin

But 4-0 in a quarter and no goals conceded?

There’s a little glimmer! (I know MN hates football, but just this one time!)

Saisong · 03/07/2021 22:24

Nah - they're just teasing us!

Being an England fan is nothing but ashes and disappointment.

Bluebells1 · 03/07/2021 22:25

We've peaked. I am bracing myself for a massive disappointment. Sigh.

SorrySoldOut · 03/07/2021 22:25

actually it doesn't matter....the hope is there.....and its making people happy right now and i'm very happy about that!!

Originalyellowbelly · 03/07/2021 22:25

Still a couple of good teams to beat but no harm in being hopeful.

Ostryga · 03/07/2021 22:27

Denmark and Spain/Italy are going to be nail-biting.

But for the first time since I’ve watched England I have a little hope. 4-0!!!!!

Denmark are on fire though!

Sloaneslone · 03/07/2021 22:30

I am not English. I am from NI. I get so happy for any of the UK teams.

Not surprised people are so happy and it's great!

I hope they go all the way.

Have to laugh at all the miserable sods that vote YABU though.Grin

Fluellablue · 03/07/2021 22:31

I am worried that my 8 and 7 year old are being misled into thinking that this kind of euphoria is what watching England is typically like! Grin
How can I adequately prepare them for a lifetime of disappointment when England are playing like they did tonight?! Grin

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 03/07/2021 22:31

YABU.

LTB.

Wait, what?

I’m drunk.

On football.

And wine.

Thisusedtobeaniceneighbourhood · 03/07/2021 22:32

Just been discussing this with DH. I fear they have peaked too soon, but I would like for them to win. I’m not a football fan but this would be epic for morale right now.

ForeverFloating · 03/07/2021 22:32

My English dp is absolutely buzzing! I’m Scottish but was team England tonight, they done amazingly well!

eandz13 · 03/07/2021 22:32

It's fucking absolutely coming home!!

Ostryga · 03/07/2021 22:33

@Fluellablue you’re going to have to show them the penalties we lost. And the time we didn’t qualify for the Euros. And pretty much any time we played a decent team before Southgate.

That should get them used to England losses

Ah it's the hope that kills you! We can but dream

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 03/07/2021 22:33

I'm thinking Eng v Italy final - and it will be a match of equals based on games so far.

Merryoldgoat · 03/07/2021 22:33

I really don’t like football but I like people enjoying themselves so YANBU - enjoy it!

I’ve been singing 3 Lions today with my son - it’s something nice in a sea of abject arse.

Ostryga · 03/07/2021 22:34

Oh come on!! Just one night ok?

And maybe one more if we beat Denmark 😂
