The England Thread

[Mr Pink]

God you lads are spoilt . You guys haven't won anything in a lifetime yet every tournament it's the same old shite about how you have a fantastic team that should just walk it.

Who the hell is saying that. Im Northern Irish and I have never heard any of this.

Total tripe mate Im afraid

The thing I hate the most about England games is watching them in a crowded room with other so called fans.
I usually watch them at home or with the fam.
I’m in Barcelona at the min and I headed to a large Irish type sports bar to watch.
Some people weren’t watching the game, but every time there was some clamour, they’d shout and swear like it “meant” something to them.
The faux outrage, caring, passion etc is fucking laughable. People don’t watch Engerlaaand to watch the football. They do it to indulge their primal instincts like shouting, throwing objects and swearing etc.

Basic as fuck.

The stuff like box park is so forced for social media now. It was great at first, but you can tell when it's not genuine.

Just blame crabs.

Came here to post the same. Great stuff.

Who do you suggest and don’t say Pep.
You May find his successor is the current under 21 manager.

That honestly wouldn’t surprise me. Without giving it any great thought I’d be happy to see Howe, Poch or Potter in charge. I mean any of their CVs are absolutely stellar in comparison to Southgate’s! Put it this way I’d be a lot more confident and rate him much more highly with Dyche in charge from the next round onwards.

It’s these ****s I detest the most - especially when you’re not even outside and some poor owner has to clear stains off their ceiling etc.



Edit: I had this in my drafts whilst tending to a work call before hitting ‘Post reply’, so what are the chances @rossdapep would post the same video between then and now

One of the reasons I stopped going to the pub to watch England, think it was 2018 world cup when I last went out to watch a game, saw the drinks flying everywhere and decided yeah that's enough for me.

It hasn't been genuine anywhere since 2018. It's all performative lad culture bullshit now.

I just go to pubs where that doesn't happen.

While this is a flippant comment, there is a proper discussion to be had about England's lack of an "identity" that teams that win tournaments so often have. The best Brazil sides, the best Spain sides, the best Italy sides, you know exactly how they played and what philosophy they subscribed to, across eras. England have never had this.

To be fair, England are already playing in a uniquely English style: by doing nothing and whining when called out for it.

That's more English than using "glass" as a verb or inventing a sport only to lose to all your former colonies at it.

No wonder the team’s play is tepid and pedestrian if that’s who/what they’re bringing in to gee the players up. Ed Sheeran is a terrific musician but it’s hardly music to get the blood pumping is it?!
