Thanks for understanding man. Just cant stand the England team with all the previous hype tbh (not so much now though - folk/media have wised up) - they always flatter to deceive through qualifiers & do f*ck all in the real deal comp. They should be doing a helluva lot better than they have since Euro 96.
Your players just dont seem to have any national pride & bust a gut for the country - or maybe they're just being carried & made to look better than they are, by their foreign counter-parts at their respective clubs.
Also, all the scape-goating with blaming United players for every major championship fail over the years, has turned many English United fans off supporting the national team too..
This anti English schtick from a percentage of Irish gets a bit fecking tiresome. And I'll counter it with my experience of 15 years of living in Ireland listening to the very same hype and self congratulation that surrounds Irish national teams no matter the sport. Truth is you get it with every country. I used to be quite fond of telling people gobbing off like this in Ireland that if they were sick and tired of English media then it might prove fruitful to not bother with it and stick to their own.
