The Footie Thread

Scottish nationalism demonstrates that left wing racists are just as bad as right wing racists.

Exactly the same in Wales, you should have heard some of the crap in the bar yesterday.

Love the map of Europe showing the number of countries supporting England in the final.

Final? There's a final?

I thought it was a 3 game league?

 

[pendodave]

I dunno. It's only football.
I'd be feeling similarly if Spurs were in danger of winning anything.

England are the Millwall of international football.

England are the Millwall of international football.

I know some people like to portray this but it is no more the case than many other larger nations. I've had European customers message me this week, from Scandinavia, Baltic States, Central Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal (especially Portugal ), saying that they hope England win.

It doesn't fit the narrative for some but then their minds are already made up

Being serious for a change
Many Scots would love to see England win.

Hopefully it would shut up all those loudmouth entitled England fans who have been booing and not supporting their team and manager throughout the tournament.
Southgate is an excellent International manager with a superb record.

Ach they are just softening you up for a discount

English nationalism is ok though, eh?

For what it's worth, there have been far more anti-Scots jibes on here than anti-English ones. Apologies if that doesn't fit with your "everybody hates us, we don't care" narrative.

Please copy and paste where I said anything resembling that??

Lots of opinions about who deserves to be in the final but to be fair some decisions have gone certain ways in games and then that team gets a decision against them in another game .. it’s hard to be right 100% of the time.

What I hope is to see a match where both teams show us their class and the winner is football irrespective of the result.. in that I want to just be bowled over by the talent, skills, tactical awareness.. I don’t want to see rolling about calling for cards and I don’t want watch “back pedal billy football “ ..

All I will say to both teams is show us your best side, this is your opportunity, do it.

Do I care about who supports who ? no that’s your choice just be polite to one another .. and I like the hero worship songs about your players, they are great entertainment as well.

Apparently Shaw is starting tonight.

If properly fit makes sense.

[Pin-seeker]

I’d start him & see how he goes.
Trippier as been poor.

 

[Pin-seeker]
