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!)

@SemperIdem

It could well do.

The team and Southgate have done so well, fair do’s to them. The attitudes amongst some fans has, as always, left something to be desired.

Oh shush. People are allowed to be passionate and insane about our team that hasn’t ever been this good.

Leave your negs till after the match ok?

How is their 6 mins extra time?

PlacidPenelope · 07/07/2021 21:48

My panic is not small!

PlacidPenelope · 07/07/2021 21:51

The attitudes amongst some fans has, as always, left something to be desired.

That applies to practically every football team and every footballing nation the world over, it is not unique to English Fans or those who support English teams in the football league and if you think it is you know very little about football.

Tho tbf English fans win the prize in booing opposition anthems

saoirse31 · 07/07/2021 21:55

I think its probably effect of having colonized and then lost colonies, but I could be wrong

You've never seen or heard South American teams then.
PlacidPenelope · 07/07/2021 22:00

Anyway back to the game in hand, I don't think I can stand the tension of penalties, so fgs England score.

hownowbrowncowz · 07/07/2021 22:01

@saoirse31 I suspect most of the football fans you're referring to have absolutely no idea about colonies, colonial Britain or even the idea of colonialism- that's not even in their rhetoric.

SecretRedhead · 07/07/2021 22:01

It's not coming home. It's never coming home. They'll fuck it up in the final round like they always fucking do.

saoirse31 · 07/07/2021 22:01

Sth American teams.. in the euros?

saoirse31 · 07/07/2021 22:10

Genuinely I think the booing of the opposing teams anthem is sad

SemperIdem · 07/07/2021 22:16

I was referring to the sorts of fans who made disgusting comments about the little German girl, not posters on this thread. So defensive 🙄

saoirse31 · 07/07/2021 22:19

That was a penalty? Really? Think he was falling before contact. .

No, simply correcting the view that only English fans boo national anthems or behave badly or have a bad attitude.

Why bring it up if it was not aimed at posters on this thread then?

What has it got to do with posters on this thread? You clearly felt it necessary to make the point to posters in this thread why?

It's always the same on any thread about England football someone always feels the need to post that superior snarky type of comment.

Possibly not on looking at the replay.

Why the hell has Gareth Southgate taken Grealish off?????

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 07/07/2021 22:26

I thought I was brewing an ulcer these last few weeks. I think tonight is going to tip me over

IamaBluebird · 07/07/2021 22:27

Very soft penalty to be fair

Rosebel · 07/07/2021 22:28

I can't stand it anymore and I hate football. Wish the bloody game was over

saoirse31 · 07/07/2021 22:29

Has Sterling fallen so quickly since day after Brexit vote??Grin

Sloaneslone · 07/07/2021 22:30

I am not even watching. I quite like the Danish team, so not happy to see them end here.

But also supporting England (am Irish though). I can't watch as ot6males me feel stresses. Then spend the whole match googling the score. Might as well have just bloody watched

AlternativePerspective · 07/07/2021 22:33

That penalty shouldn’t have been given. But never mind.

We’re not playing awfully well though, we will be absolutely slaughtered by Italy in the final.

ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia · 07/07/2021 22:36

Yes! But lucky non penalty! Need to do better on Italian job!

PlacidPenelope · 07/07/2021 22:37

No we aren't playing well and yes we will need to do far, far better against Italy otherwise their fluent passing and attacking style will, as you said, slaughter us.
