There are wonderful old ones ! South preservation society !
Fat les jeruselem etc
Heroes ! Much more pacey and upbeat ! Higher key !

And we’re back here again guys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thinking beyond football - I think if we win the World cup, people may hate England a bit less.

Itll give England a bit of positive media in the world media. We'll get more tourists too

I’m feeling very nervous!

I’m predicting (hoping!) 3-2 to England.

We might even win the Eurovision song contest.

HAHAHAHA pigs will fly

Tom Holland (spiderman actor) was on a talk show recently saying that he just has a feeling that England will win.

Im taking spidermans prediction as truth

🫢😄

I honestly don't think people hate England.

I’m in Camber sands with my boyfriend who hates football. But he says he’ll watch it with me in the chalet as he watched the Norway match with his sister last weekend.

Just got lamb korma, rice, sag aloo delivered and Smirnoff Ice cans in fridge plus gin. We are going to do Absolut vanilla vodka shots every time there’s a goal scored.

Lol. you must be joking. We all know our reputation. It's not great at the moment

I've been on holidays quite a lot this summer. Lucky me. Every country that I've been in, the locals said to me that they were supporting 'anyone but England' as they hate the English.

The Norwegian team want us to win.

I guess we meet different people then.

Enjoy!!

Are you fully English? Or mixed?

Name the countries then. My Canadian friends want England to win.

Thank you! I will and am. Just back off a day at the beach.

Sounds delicious 😋

Enjoy the vodka shots x

Home! I had to get a cab as I missed the hourly bus. Trust me to get a Spain supporting driver called Carlos! 😂
No pasaran Carlos mate!

I was just chatting to a Canadian woman in London yesterday at a social event. She is supporting Argentina

I don't think the rest of the world hates England as much as we're led to believe, I don't think they think anything special about us really 🤔

Other countries REALLY hate Argentina though 😂

Can we not?

Good evening everyone. I missed last nights match working a nightshift. Amall settled with picky bits ,rum and coke …I need the caffeine 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
