Why does everyone hate us so much ?!

[englandd]

I’m talking about being English, spent alot of time on the cesspit that is Reddit this World Cup and the vast majority absolutely hate England, I known it stems from the British empire but as far as I’m aware it wasn’t just England who were bad back then was it ? I mean Spain and Portugal took a big part in colonialism too but why is it just the English that gets the hate ?
Last night I would’ve been genuinely happy to support Norway if they went through, I can’t imagine hating another nation so badly. Maybe I shouldn’t take it personally 😆

Aibu ? Do we deserve the hate we get from something that happened hundreds of years ago ? For what it’s worth the British empire were ruthless and I don’t celebrate anything they did, but I also don’t think we should be punished still for something that happened so so long ago.

This actually made me laugh 😂

“very recently at a 5stars hotel in Madrid, a groupd of English were telling off the waiter for not cooking the bacon properly after asking for “real food” and not iberico ham and cheese, and for not knowing how to make a cup of tea - i was ashamed of them representing England abroad) doesnt do your country any justice.”

Course they did.

I think you misunderstand - it’s not because the English believe they have a right to win everything, it because the modern game of football was invented there. So, if the English win it is going home…back to the home of football.

Having lived in plenty of counties in my time I can safely say that in the league table of countries that are ‘unbearable’ when they win something international, there are plenty of countries I’d put above a England / Great Britain / the UK!!

I was correcting an inaccuracy on that posters post!

From wikipedia. But thank you 🤣

I was following the tone set by the OP, which literally said hate in the title 🤷‍♀️

Lewis Hamilton has been continually racially abused in the Spanish Grand Prix. Monkey noises and so on. It's not an english issue completely.

Yes, I read the comment, but I'm pointing out that it's not true that the Beatles etc. aren't seen as English.

🤣 i sjould have videoed them then for proof. But you do you

Well then maybe you get the Scottish sense of humour 🤣🤣🤣

Also I fucking hate that song and now it’s stuck in my head! 🤣

There is nothing wrong with having hope and being excited about the possibility of winning. (In Scotland we know we're pish but we can dream 🤣). The problem is the media pundits constantly bring England and 66 into their commentary even when England aren't playing in that particular game so we dread how awful the commentary would get if you actually do win it again. 🤪

My mother was Catholic from Northern Ireland, so, back in the sixties, the "troubles" were a very real thing for us, particularly as we had relatives in Derry.

I just really don’t recognise this idea that the English assume they’re going to win. Maybe the media portrays that idea but I don’t think it’s what all the fans are thinking. All of the football fans I know go into each World Cup or European Championship with the same cheerful optimism which hides a fear that we’ll most likely fail again. What would be the point of starting out saying ‘Well, we’re bound to lose again, let’s not even watch the tournament’?

‘It’s Coming Home’ was a line from one of the football songs. It’s a sound bite; short and catchy and easy to bellow at the top of your voice to a vague ‘tune’. Most of us saying and singing it don’t necessarily actually believe it 😂

If it’s so annoying to you stop watching England play. Otherwise suck it up buttercup.

We all know this never happened because we all know that any bacon-eating Englander would be gobbling up breakfast that involved cheese and ham

Who mentioned Britain?

No - it’s just you who likes to think they do.
I have lived in Scotland and so I get why you hate us so much. It’s so much better down here believe me.
Now, whilst having a leisurely morning in the glorious sun, basking in the England win, I will now gear myself up for the Wimbledon final. The best tennis tournament in the world.
47 million pints drunk in pubs last night, billions of pounds boosting our economy,. Just seen the weather in Aberdeen - hardly mind blowing and very very bleak.

Well they didnt like it and demanded bacon. What can I say, they didnt like the fat that comes with the pata negra

The game before.....read

The more detail you give, the more unbelievable it sounds. First rule of putting together a good lie.

Mmm that tone. So likeable.

Ok then. Whatever you say 🙂

But my point is ( and I speak from experience of family and friends) it wasn’t akin to the holocaust

The food wasn’t being exported BECAUSE the English wanted the Irish to die

And my other point is, that if I truly believed the English had systematically wanted to starve my countrymen to death, then no way could o bear to live in that country

Yeah but thats not the fans though.

It’s been 26 degrees here all week love, but enjoy your special weather that begins at the border
