Quarter Finals

Gonna get some beers later, sit back, relax and watch this thread. Might have the game on in the background.

Every single player in the England squad was born in England you loon.

So, the only ethnicity in the whole squad is English, but you knew that already.

Where their parents / grandparents came from, doesn`t matter one jot.

But, as I said before, we can already see where you`re going with this.

1/ Be aware of mental health issues mate. Some people struggle and they dont need you using language like that.

2/ If you took the trouble to read the post rather than just scan it (I expect better from someone who works at GCHQ, btw) you'd have read that I said 'ethnicity' not nation born in.

You have to comply with that yourself as everyone else does when filling in forms for a whole host of reasons (census, NHS, job applications etc etc). It's therefore appropriate for analysing the make up of any organisation.


Please take the time to consider your responses.

I don't think so; it would be unethical to make the answer compulsory.

Le Davèk vs the Crusaders.

It has much promise.

I can understand why people don’t like it. Personally I wasn’t too bothered by it. It was a bit of an aggro sort of game from both sides. Dutch were dishing it out too.

Also wondering whether it might be part of some sort of Argie siege mentality. I can remember their game against Colombia in the Copa America they were both going at it there too.

So they’re kind of the common denominator here then huh? Always been a fan of “win with class.” The Argies showed none, and Martinez is clearly a piece of work. Will be pulling for Croatia and then whoever else they play if they end up in the final.

I just can’t see beyond Le Davèk progressing into the next round. At this stage of the competition, you need high levels of stamina and commitment which he possesses in abundance.

I think one lone picture doesn’t always tell a full story. Others have posted examples of the Dutch dishing it out too. But yes you could say the Argies seem quite “confrontational” these days

Taunting, lashing the ball at the Dutch bench, Messi confronting Van Gall, Martinez talking like he did…they did enough yesterday to give me a bad enough impression of who they are.

Yes the ball at the bench thing especially was not good. And their keeper is clearly a bellend. I don’t have much sympathy for the Dutch though

 

[Billy Dean]

Likewise if the French taunt us in victory later I won’t have any sympathy for us after the actions of The S** yesterday

Ah yeah and the Dutch angels of pushing, swearing, causing a scene, goading, saying and doubling down on "we'll feast on them at pens if we even reach that lmao" and all of that - all normal lol

Chat s**t get banged as a famous Englishman said.

Why, what has that shabite said now?

Some will call it the 'Latina spirit', but unsurprisingly, you do not see such aggression and petulance in other nation. I'm not talking about yesterday alone, either.

I've met a few lovely Argentinians over the years, however when it comes to football they're exccessive.
