Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

I just meant people like Boris who are not remotely interested in football trying to bask in the glory. I find it nauseating.

To be fair, he is the leader of the country. Whether we like him or not it would be a bit strange if he didn't say anything at all, as if it never happened.

It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum the elected party is from, they will be using this mass euphoria as a tool to increase their own popularity. So, for me, politics is something that is a tenuous reason not like a football team.

I also find most things tories say nauseating, so it doesn't affect my supporting of England :)
 
Well its kinda like punching down when England do it. Its like some things oppressed people can say but not the other.

Think of yourselves as the straight white male with brown hair of the world

Saying why can't we boo is like saying white lives matter.
Am I allowed to jump or is that banned too?
 
Pretty pathetic, hearing uber-woke knobs who know nothing about football saying they'll be supporting Italy because of the behaviour of the usual maggots among England's following.

Italian fans are so anti-racist and treat black players so well, after all. No fascist element in their support or football culture, is there?



I'll be cheering on Italy because I've been indoctrinated from a very young age to hate England. We have a very effective system in that respect
 

I just think it's really bizarre that there's such a divide.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but why are people bringing Politics into it?

Do i care what Boris is doing when England are playing Denmark? No. Do I care if that William is there? No.

The media are proper pushing the Political ties, bonkers.

Its a very divided nation. More by design than anything so it's only natural that the division will leak in to sports etc.
 
Who cares about the booing of national anthems. Just a bit of fun surely. If you get triggered by it I'd suggest you might be a little bit oversensitive.
People are kicking off because people do not support the same team that they do (and vice versa)

Why are you expecting calmness and reason?

I do think that anthems and indeed flags etc are seen as a bigger deal in many nations than they are here.
 

You can be as balanced as you like. However if one player hits your lower body on one side and another hits your upper body on the other side a split second later, youre going down.

I'd suggest that either contact on their own wouldn't be enough to give a penalty. But between the two, they stopped him from advancing with the ball.
He could have kept his feet if he wanted to. So he dove. I'm not saying he wouldn't have maybe stumbled or lost the ball but he could have stayed standing. I've seen Raheem Sterling do amazing things so this is well within him if he wants. But he doesn't want to stay up and for obvious reasons.

I still have vivid memories of my first experience of Irish prejudice. We were staying in a bed and breakfast with my parents and two friends and my brother. The landlady was a right old bat and kept going on about her American guests while looking upon us like something on the end of her shoe. Half way through match of the day she marched into our room and confiscated the TV for being too noisy! My mum was livid the next morning, which wasn’t fun! So you see I too was a victim of intolerance and hatred.
