Following on from previous thread.

Is anyone getting sick of the anti-English bitterness at the moment? It's all over social media and MN. It's exhausting defending it.

On another thread - and I shouldn't bite I k ow - a poster is claiming that Denmark actually scored the own goal on purpose to 'let' England equalise because they felt bad about the dodgy free kick I've heard some bollocks in my time but JFC what a take!

I hide those threads.

You cant argue with the bitter and miserable.

I read one of the threads and decided it was not worth my time and energy to take the bait. Although we could have fun with that bonkers own goal theory.

My social media is luckily alright, mostly new kit launch and Toni Duggan returning.

What's interesting is that a high proportion of the 'anti-English bitterness' comes from...English people. It's a strange phenonemon. I don't think you'd see people in France or Italy or anywhere else actively cheering on any team but their own national team.

I loved, until a few years ago, in Scotland for 16 years. Contrary to popular belief there wasn't nearly as much anti-England feeling as there is in England. The local pub would air the matches and Scots would show up to support their neighbour. You'd get the odd prick there to cause bother and cheer when they lost but mostly the feeling was "live and let live". No whining from people who've seen a grand total of 2 games about what should and shouldn't have happened on the pitch

total of 2 games

🤣
so bloody true

Dearie me, just heard John Stones being interviewed on the news.
Talk about painful !
' err, yeah , err ' it was like Pulling teeth 😂

Yes, no well, yes. Team spirit. Kick ball. Give it 110%. For the country.
Thank you.

That'll be 180,000 a week ta very much

The players interviews are brilliantly British. Lots of ums and ahs and mumbling along. American football teams give their players PR and public speaking training and it shows.

There is a reason we need to put players names on their backs in big letters...

😂 Now I know !!

Footballers arent known for their intelligence.

180,000 a week .. yet string a sentence together and it's beyond them !!

Poor Stones! Public speaking isn't everyone's strong point I guess

No, I appreciate that public speaking is hard, but I'm sure that years ago the players would be a bit more animated ? Have a chat and a laugh? This was just painful !!
Still , as dh said, it's the feet that talk in football so maybe I'm a bit harsh on them!

You just focus on Keepie Uppie!

God job for Stones that hes talented and pretty.

He has a slight look of a bulkier Cillian Murphy.

Aslong as the use of "At the end of the day" is kept to a minimum I'm ok with a big of Hugh Granting.
