I see some of the anti England brigade have come out again. We had all this at the last world cup.
personal attacks. Doing well tonight aren’t you.
“You sound delightful.” Accusing me of stereotyping and xenophobia just because I think England fans are by and large twats. I think you started the personal attacks and went a long way toward proving me right.
Lad's let's just all agree that it's coming home and move on shall we.
I mean saying you hate all England fans seems pretty xenophobic and stereotyping to me.
Coming into an England team discussion thread just to say that too seems needlessly provocative.
We had @GlastonSpur fending them off back then. Where art thou, @GlastonSpur ?!
Also, where's @1966 ? He was the only poster on here who only supported England and he's missing the first tournament since joining?!
I don't think he'll play a back three, but the team Southgate picks will probably be as you mentioned.
I haven't got a problem with Phillips and Rice holding midfield as long as we have two attacking fullbacks, Shaw and James? Kane will certainly play, and Foden/Sterling is likely to be the preferred wider players. I would like to see Grealish given a free role instead of Mount, and Saka really deserves another start. At least we have good options to bring on, Calvert Lewin, Bellingham, Rashford, Sancho, Henderson.
Well firstly, I didn’t say all England fans. Secondly, I didn’t say anything about English people in general. Unless England fans have their own nation exclusive just to them.
I didn’t come in to the thread to say that. I came in to say they they should be getting to the final. Precious England fans took it down this path. Which is why so many people from outside of England can’t stand your fans. feck, even a bunch of English people can’t stand them.
If we beat Germany this place will become toxic. I can feel the hate warming up.
More experienced at the top level than England and most of their squad.
You have 4 WC winners in the lineup (Neuer, Kroos, Muller, Hummels)
Then you have all of the Bayern players. There is an awful lot of the England team that is young and that has never won any competition.
agreed.
I’m currently playing all three versions on a loop whilst waving the Union Flag out the window.
3 lions, la la la… vindaloo
Can still remember this so clearly. I was 10Exactly. Germany, like Scotland, will be at their absolute best against England at Wembley.
We really should have beaten them at Euro 96 though
Yeah right ok. Thanks for your contribution.
Yeah right ok.
Are you Dutch by any chance?
It'll be grrrreat
You did say All England fans by the way.
So don't act like you're being unfairly attacked.
If they can beat Germany they should get to the final even playing a bit disjointed and in 2nd gear. Hard to see them beating whatever comes out of the other side of the draw without hitting some good form though.
So what's your nationality?
Park the bus and hit them on the counter.
Fair enough.
I’m not the one who started crying about being attacked. That was Clayton. I didn’t really give a shit. England fans never disappoint with how precious they are. And all because somebody said they have the easier side of the draw. Which is blatantly fecking true.
I’ve already said. I’m from Northern Ireland.
This isn’t a great German side. We have a good chance. Let’s just hope we don’t bottle the big occasion, something you know they won’t do. Guilt edge chance to get to the final if we beat them where we’d face a top class outfit one way or the other.
Germany is a wounded animal right now, I think they are pretty dangerous.
Well my issue with you was you saying you hate all England fans which is why I thought you were acting like a dick.
The easier side of the draw thing is true though I agree with you.
I hate all England fans, they're animals!
Do we hate England fans?
I hate all England fans!
That's a bit out of order innit?
Ooh calm down you're so precious!
Mostly because, once again just saying England have the easier side of the draw was met with the usual indignation so I wasn’t feeling too enamoured with them at the time.
You have to remember that people from other parts of the UK have to watch twats like Lineker, Shearer, Wright et al go on and on and on and on about England. France v Portugal tonight was a side show to who plays England.
Just realised that top in Group D v 2nd in group F was originally fixed for Dublin. So a lucky break to get the Germans in Wembley.
just calling you out. No tears shed here. If that’s not the case, then move on. I’m sure we all have better things to do.
all together now “3 lions on a shirt…”
no easy games in tournament football.
Glad we're in agreement.
Fair Enough.
What an addition to the forum you are.
Indeed. Why it was so important to go try to win the group. All the “coming second gets us an easier match” was a sideshow.
a little bit of momentum and home advantage could give us a little edge.
Lighten up. We are all a bit tense.
Must be tough knowing the last time you reached a world cup Ron Atkinson was still Manchester United manager.
I don’t support Northern Ireland so I care less about that than you do.
