what a crazy back and forth match today.

I think France has the skillset to win but I am  pulling for an england upset if they get past croatia!

[boingo]

Will France suffer a Waterloo? Will England have something to Crow At? More importantly will the Russians stay sober for the final>

It's wanting another team to lose that displays insecurities, wanting your Country to win is natural.

 

You should talk to a Scotsman on the WC, you'll no doubt enjoy comparing shoulder chips.

 

I beg to differ on your analysis because it is blinkered and one sided, with no appreciation

for what this team has achieved with a modest squad, which even many neutrals acknowledge. 

I can only assume you wish to cause argument, its certainly not an opinion with much depth.

Bliketed and one sided for what they have achieved??

 

You make this out as some great achievement

 

Tunisia who for all intensive purposes are not strong side and you should be beating 99 times out of 100

You required a last minute winner to scrape past them though

YOU WON - SO YOU SHOULD

 

Panama  who are the weakest side at the WC

Beating them is no achievement

YOU WON - SO YOU SHOULD

 

Belgium Neither side gave too much of a fuck about winning this game and played reserves but you have thge richest league on the planet supporting your side. Belgium have a mid tier Euro League so are punching on with a much bigger opponent

YOU LOST - YOU SHOULD BE BEATING BELGIUM

 

Colombia  Their team relies on one James Rodriguez

He pulls all the strings for them

When it came time for them to play England what chance Colombia had plummetted to next to nil

You required penalties to beat them FFS

 

YOU WON - SO YOU SHOULD YOU MADE HARDER WORK OF IT THAN YOU SHOULD HAVE

 

Sweden Just a plodding Scandanavian side who had over achieved to make a quarter final

YOU WON - SO YOU SHOULD HAVE

 

So you have won 4 games against teams you should BEAT

Yes 4 sides that are massively inferior and 1 was handicapped without their best player

 

You also lost to a side as well

 

So explain to me what a great achievement this is for England NT ??

 

You have beaten inferior opponents

If you dont make the Final you ought to shoot everyone of your players

Tunisia -Panama- Belgium in a dead rubber- Colombia-Sweden-Croatia

That for a path to a WC Final

Every nation in the world would like a run like that

Biased opinion with no depth.

 

Yes, I stand by that assessment, which you've just confirmed at length.

I can obviously understand all English people wanting the whole of England to get behind their team and cheer them on to World Cup glory,there’s no question they’ve had a piss easy route to the semis,and good luck with that,but it’s no wonder the whole of the uk won’t get behind them,here’s a photo of the front page of the Sun newspaper on the day when Wales were playing their semifinal against Portugal in 2016, compared to the picture on the right of today’s Sun ,in 2016 there was just a tiny footnote in the top right hand pointing out that one of the Welsh players was actually English,(he wasn’t the only one either),petty,biased journalism at its best,instead of getting behind the Welsh team who progressed without getting knocked out by a bunch of part timers,it’s nothing to do with non English people having chips on their shoulders,it’s just typical English arrogance,they want the whole of the UK to get behind England,but weren’t prepared to do get behind Wales,a small nation punching above its weight,I’m not small minded enough to hope England fail,but I don’t think it will break my heart either.

That’s correct vim,I still stick with my point tho,that’s still the headline on all the regional papers !,don’t get me wrong,I still hope England win tonight,but I was disappointed with the lack of backing from the national press when Wales made the semis tho ,still my mother was an English lass,so I guess there’s one and half lions on my shirt

Used to think Belgium would do it this year but now I guess France have the best team, would be astonished and delighted if England can bring it home.....

I've never asked, or expected the rest of the UK to get behind England, that's up to them and I lived

too long in Scotland to expect much of it.

I wouldn't cite the Sun as being an authority on anything much.

I will just note that all the English people I knew wished Wales well, as I did.

 

Nervously optimistic as I head off to Retox with my beloved, both in England shirts.
