the england thread for non the england fans

[BlueStevie35]

England playing all their games at “Wemberglee” if they win their group and reach the final is a tad bias isn’t it?.

We aren’t though, if we win the group we would play the last 16 at Wembley, with a potential QF in Rome, finish second however and it’s Copenhagen for the last 16 and a potential QF in Saint Petersburg

Let’s not forget that Italy, Germany, Scotland (for 2 games), Hungary, Netherlands, Russia, Spain and Denmark all also have home advantage at this stage

This one was funny, boo for the knee, then later seen celebrating the Raheem Sterling goal with his Churchill tattoo.

The cognitive dissonance with this lot is unreal.

I know it's a bit sexist but take the games yesterday, a few times the camera picked out pretty girls in the crowd, when England play all they find is shirtless meffs.

Venues were also changed due to covid. The s/f and final were always planned to be at Wembley. Haters will always hate mate and will always find something to moan about when its England.

The Deliveroo advert with all it’s annoying cliches is the latest thing I’ve found to moan about in regard to England.

Not the team, but the media fuss surrounding them. “England till I dine”, talking burgers shouting “England!”. Jesus wept.

I have nothing against “Team England”, just all the junos, media hype, stupid tournament tie-in commercials and some of the tripe supporters tweet. Not going to go into their opposition anthem booing and political songs again.

DSTQ is a dirge. Jerusalem is uplifting.

I love the Brazilian National anthem for that reason. The French one too.

The Italian one is fantastic. The idea of an anthem is to uplift you, GSTQ is the total opposite.

It’s not even about the country, while “Oben am jungen Rhein” which uses the same music but different lyrics, is actually about Liechtenstein’s history.

P.S. Haters are not “Gonna hate”, as I don’t hate the England team, just the topless idiots supporting them on TV, social media posters and the way their supporters all got in a tizz when our team posted a video of them celebrating Iceland’s winner against them.

They would have done the same if we went out of Euro 2016 before they did.

We are supposed to be a “U.K. Union 4 Nations Family”, yet you get this arrogance.

Those two statements in bold don’t correlate.

Think that was more due to being in the same group and the boasting after England beat Wales that they were now on the easier side of the draw.

Nothing more uplifting than yours at rugby matches. I'm convinced it positively inspires the players to perform better.

Never seen that replicated at a football match though

England were runners up mate. The Iceland game was in the ko stages.

The thing is, our team posted that video because England were the Bertie Big Bollokx lot in the first place.

Research has shown that performances can improve by 15% with an 'uplifting' crowd. In all fairness, the Welsh public are excellent at this esp the Rugby.

I've been to a lot of Wales games (both RU and football) and the national anthem is belted out in both and create a really good atmosphere.
