Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

I suppose it depends on what pub you went to, when you say 'most'. I would argue that most pubs they went into they would be fine, but there would be few pubs where the majority of people hounding them out.

But then again, they would probably hound me out as well, despite me being white. I have a big beard so they may get confused.

Will you be supporting the 100% inclusive Italians in the final or would you be supporting the 100% inclusive Spanish, whichever way it goes.

I'll be supporting anyone over England.

That's because I know how much an Engand tournament win will be weaponised politically by Johnson and his fellow murderers in government.

I have no idea how many pubs and bars you've been to in England mate, but (outside of some sleepy suburbs or country villages) in towns and cities in this country, if England had just been beaten after a long night of their fans on the piss, those women you linked to would be in danger.

Sorry if that doesn't fit the narrative of Sweet Caroline and Football's Coming Home, but it is - unfortunately - true.

The thing that I get with you is that you are pushing an 'every single England fan is a racist'.

The reality, not a fairytale is that hate crimes happen up and down the country for a variety of reasons, whether it be a perceived social injustice or maybe a drunken bigot deciding that attacking somebody with different views is a fun thing.

However, it is not as widespread as you are trying to make out, it happens far too much but come on, surely even you can see that the team itself are all for inclusiveness and condemn any hate crimes. So why hate the team because of a few idiotic bigots around the 'sleepy suburbs'.

A sad contrarian.

..... no pressure at all....no siree

That was a fun way to spend half an hour reading the fume and mental gymnastics by the haters over England's progress. Brilliant stuff.

Their fear is palpable.

What I see in this squad is that they don't seem to feel the pressure, they are learning more and more on ignoring outside influences. The interviews after the games have all been 'that is over, onto the next challenge'.

It is refreshing to see. If we lose, I honestly don't think it will be down to bottling, it will be down to being beaten by a better team or but of luck either way. There is no arrogance in this team/squad.

It is more than likely that there is a newspaper/TV news ban in the camp and they will just be getting on with what they have to do with extreme focus.

I'm not. I'm responding to a photo of an atypical scene for muslims who would support England in a bar situation, which has been presented as representing reality. It isn't.

How is being entirely consistent with my own previously stated views being "a contrarian"?

I've never actually heard 'football's coming home' and not heard Sweet Caroline in the context of this tournament. So I'm not working off that narrative.

I know that Islamophobia is rife in Britain. But guess what. It's rife in Spain aswell.

So those women would be in danger of abuse (verbal and/or physical) even if there was no football.

I've also read that women in general are 38% more at risk of domestic violence when England lose so let's hope they keep winning until we can rid ourselves of this horrendous minority. Because, yes. It is a minority.

Have you been in every bar in the country, what research are you doing/seeing to say that this as atypical as you would make it out?

Or are you just saying things for the sake of argument.

I can honestly not tell you the percentage of Muslims that feel comfortable/uncomfortable going into a bar to support England, can you? It is 100% your opinion based on the fact that England has a problem with racists. I put it to you, how many Muslims are comfortable going into a bar in any other nation that is predominately non-Muslim. I mean, if you are going to support other nations because if this then you should know these stats.

On the Tory thing, are you scared Johnson is going to come out and try to put together a coherent sentence saying 'Yay for Brexit, we won because of Brexit'. I am not going to let that stop me from wanting England to win, I think that would be a fairly ridiculous reason, to be brutally honest.

I didn't present it as a representing reality (although it was real)

Whereas you did show photos of fans dressed as crusaders and Boris Johnson in a definite attempt to present them as representing the average England fan. Because that is your dogmatic narrative.

It's just people trying to prove how righteous they are on the internet.

Imagine what good that money could do.

Donate it to a food bank or a hospice ffs

That bloke has now blocked responses because he was rightly getting called out for being a complete narcisist.

A little girl cried and freaks thought giving her a tenner would prove that people aren't really mean.

Anyway, seeing children cry at the footy is peak sport. We've all been there, it's a right of passage. Imagine supporting Everton and your only other sporting outlet being Wakefield effing Trinity for 25 years. That'd be something to cry about character building

his, now private, instagram shows him as quite a sex pest too.

I’ve got to the point where I want Denmark to win now. Simply because I’m worried about how badly Dave’s head might fall off if England win.

Eff that. Want to see him Hiroshima after a 3-0 win.

This an actual lie.

Not in his warped head
