You can't hide that some of the energy in the stadium against Germany was because of that.’" Yet you wonder why most of the world is againt you... Laughs at Roberto Mancini photoshopped as William Wallace, gets irate at mention of ww2. I don't think we are the only ones who don't fully understand why we live rent free in your head.

A thought for all those who'll have to work tonight during the match to keep others safe from themselves. Unfortunately, it’ll be hijacked by idiots regardless of the result. I’ve already seen some pretty embarrassing videos of people cheering a bloke on doing cocaine and others doing the usual can and glass throwing and it wasn’t even 2pm. England games just seem to bring the dickheads out and our reputation goes before us. It’s why I never bothered joining the England Supporters Club a few years ago, in all honesty. Watching England would combine two things I love, football and travelling but it’s the idiots that put me off. I hope it’s the football we’re discussing post game but I can see a fair amount of news coverage being about idiots, win or lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just how the media are, really. There could be millions and millions of fans that behave well, don't cause any nuisance. But then there'll be one bellend smashing up a London bus or something and that'll be the thing that gets the headlines. Just how it is in this country sadly.

I mean football is our nations biggest sport, followed by millions of us, so I think a few dickheads is inevitable. We're hardly the only nation with this problem - as Euro 2016 showed, and other games occasionally since have shown. It does often seem that a few bad apples get all the coverage - take the Denmark match the other night with lots saying how great the fans were but a few toaster's getting the press.

internationalsfan Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Tonight the Italians will sing an old war song that was sang by soldiers crying out to go into battle with valour and bravery ready to die for their country at the beginning of a football match that means very little compared to a war. But we're the arrogant ones about our football for singing it's coming home ironically having not won anything for five and a half decades over the fact we codified the modern rules of football. Europe, you wonder why we left you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve changed your profile pic to Bonucci, your nationality to Italian & purposely bought in Peroni for the game. I think it’s a little bit fair to say you’re rattled.
