Yeah majority of people talking like this are predominantly rugby fans who drink each other’s piss like it’s normal. I’ve seen people saying they want Italy to win because Raheem Sterling cheated to win a penalty. They seem to forget Mexico ‘86, South Africa ‘14. 
 

I’ve seen Italy fans with flags saying “**** the queen” which surprisingly these do gooders haven’t batted an eyelid towards. 
 

Thursday morning at work we were all talking about the game, laughing and joking about the night before’s antics. A science teacher walked in the staff room, rolled her eyes and went “eeugh, football”. Turns out she’s an avid rugby follower. 
 

I’m not saying our fans are angels, both Leicester and England have some right mouth breathers following us but the ignorance and arrogance from people who don’t like or get football is beyond embarrassing. 

Or Rugby,Hockey..

 

i like all sports,I Enjoy & understand many sports....Never understand how some actual fans of any sport, can Dick-off Another sport...

Friends & Colleges English or otherwise in my circles, who/where some Enjoy a particular individual sport, still Enjoy watching/talking and get into the banter

of those other sports..Also including ex- teammates, through Athletics/ Rugby/ Football ..

There will always be somewhere, that women,that guy, in the office/factory/shop, who come up, with blind incompetent,Unknowledgable, hatefull,nonsense remarks over the "Sport of the day"..

 

Look at what shit English Journals have come out with,then what they Report what Trash apparently other nations Media Love to dish out...

And alot of people Show their  gullabilty, in lapping up the Paparazzi noise...

I’m English and as a kid wanted England to win the World Cup/euros. The older I’ve got though, I don’t actually care about them anymore. I find it hard to support a team made up of players I don’t like. I don’t have any passion for international football what’s so ever. Just wondering if any other Leicester fan feels the same ?

But does anyone really support England ? I genuinely don’t anymore. I always thought of England supporters as a cockney thing. I think 2006 World Cup was the ending for me. I genuinely only watch England if a Leicester players is playing. Yesterday I watched Belgium because of the 3 Leicester players.

Leicester all day.

 

As a kid, I thought I'd only experience the winning of trophies from England, not Leicester. 

 

Couldn't be more opposite now.

 

I'm pleased that Maddison, Barnes and Justin aren't available for that shower of shit.

 

We are far more important than that.

 

My views might change slightly if England had a competent manager.

 

Southgate is a joke.

Leicester all day long. Not even in the same bracket. 

 

Not even interested in England games anymore, dislike the majority of players and the manager. Sub-conciously find myself cheering on the opposition if I ever catch any of the games which is quite sad I suppose.

 

On 28/03/2021 at 19:16, tom27111 said:

That's the thing though and I don't think I'm alone.

 

Always been 100% Leicester. Always. To think anything else is absurd.

 

But England? Hmmmm.

 

Most of the time, yes. But when you get the same boring shit with managers who are clueless, no.

 

I said on another thread the other day about Southgate. He's living off a semi final in 2018.

 

We won 3 games out of 7. 2 of them were against Panama and Tunisia.

 

Whenever we played a decent team, we were clueless.

 

Lucky draw.

Fvck England, it’s just a metaphor for London and it’s fashionable northern satellites of Manchester and Liverpool. Italia 90, there was a World Cup, england represented by players from loads of different clubs, now it’s about shoehorning the newest kid from the ‘big 6”. I’m sorry but international football sucks balls at the moment.

Can't believe anybody voted for England. I watched the World Cup Final in 66 and never missed an England game for 50 odd years. The Iceland debacle was the final straw. The FA appoint yes men above winners who then pander to the big clubs with biased selections. The recent World Cup run flattered to deceive. As soon as we played a decent team we were undone. We have talented and creative young players who, with a progressive coach and a free reign when it comes to selection, could elevate us to contender status at international level but we all know it just won't happen. Nothing will change, just a repeat of what happened with the likes of Franky Wortho and Cloughie. I didn't watch either of these 'qualifiers' against non league and league 1 opposition. The results were a foregone conclusion. Sadly my passion for England has been completely sucked out of me over the decades and as long as the old boys club that runs the FA continues to do so I can't see that changing.

Harry Redknapps's video summed it up: boring wins against non-competitive teams and drab failures in tournaments.

 

i get excited when a Leicester player plays for England. The last time I was excited about England as a team was Euro 96.

 

There's now a weird mix of the tabloids beating the drum, the tabloids harassing players and fans not being bothered.

Right now I support Belgium more than England which is quite a weird feeling.

I hate international breaks.

 

I hate the boring football England play.

 

I hate that England’s support at tournaments means we all get typecast as fat, balding, obnoxious pissed louts.

 

I hate FIFA and everything they stand for.

 

Fvck the Qatar World Cup.

Really can't be asked with England qualifiers/friendly matches. Punditry tripe that we're world beaters for beating championship quality teams then lose to anyone decent. 

 

Just about watch one with one of ours is playing (usually for 15 mins to replace a fave like Mount).

 

Would've been interesting if JJ was fit, whether he'd have been picked (probably not)

My support for England is about 10% of what it is for Leicester. If leicester are on TV I can't leave the room and if we score I punch the air and if we concede a f and blind. With England I can leave the room for 20 minutes, when we score I say we'll done and if we concede I laugh.

 

My issue with England currently is that we are so overrated, some good talent, but could count the number of world class players on one hand. There is still a top 6 biast, sick and tired of average players who are out of form or injured still getting picked, or players who have been out of the squad and play for the top six get back in based on  2 good games before an international break!

 

The situation with maddison has summed it up for me over the last couple of years, plays his socks off, most influential attacking english midfield player at the time the last time he was in the squad and still mount got the start I think after less that 10 PL games, it doesn't make sense I just put it down to the fact he doesn't play for a trendy club!

 

I remember a few weeks back and one TV presenter said to a pundit, Harvey Barnes is having a cracking season, surely he's gotta be in the squad for the euros? The pundit replied yeah well erm we'll definitely need back up players in the squad! That is how our club and our players are seen and it sickens me!!!

Not a fan of international football at all. Fifa completely ruined the Word Cup the second they increased the number of teams in the finals. Feels like teams are there making up the numbers now just so Fifa can screen more games and increase advertising revenue. 

 

On 28/03/2021 at 23:29, TrickyTrev Benjamin said:

Why it’s trying to be different though ? I don’t go to any of the England games and I hate most of the players who play for them. England scoring a goal never ever gave me the same feeling as Leicester scoring a goal. I don’t have no connection with supporting England apart from being English. I don’t want England to lose just I don’t care. Leicester winning the league cup would give me better memories then England winning the World Cup.

My club, I stopped following England a long time ago, I got fed up with the hype and the hope whipped up by the media.  I found if I give England a miss at the Euros and World cup, I can sit back and enjoy the rest and I actually enjoy the competition.  Although living in France when they won the world cup was difficult to take:cry:.

Leicester all day long. Southgate is a joke. He's a yes man for the FA licking up to the big Clubs.

 

He picks players on popularity not ability and I haven't seen any resemblance to a winning system like Brendan is building here.

 

On 29/03/2021 at 20:15, Fox85 said:

The 17 that voted England must be absolute weapons.

 

I can safely say I haven't watch 1 England game since that idiot Southgate took over as manager and I ner will... he will not take them anywhere and it will just end in disappointment. He must be the most unqualified person in terms of football managers and ge got the top Job.

Honestly Ritchie Wellans would be a better choice than him.

 

So yea all in all Leicester anyday over England

Hope you all enjoy watching Scotlands Coastal Railways with Julie Walters on Channel 4 tomorrow night

Whatever happens tomorrow I think we can say England have certainly gave the fans a run for their money. Certainly progression from the semis from the world cup.

Losing a final would be heart breaking, still a great achievement for such a young side but come on we can do this

Maybe it's because of posts like this one below, that you made in the England/Denmark thread that England fans adopt a siege mentality when these types of games come along. Looks like you had some 'grievances' you were airing, under the guise of fifa rankings. It was thinly veiled though. Maybe you meant it to be humourous, it didn't strike as such.

 

 

Boo hoo .. the FIFA rankings aren’t the most accurate … dry your little eyes, ditch that strawman, and find some way to tell me that missing Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain and Netherlands, hasn’t been an undeniably easy draw in front of home crowds.

 

England have yet to convince the world.  You have one more shot.  If you smash Italy, you’ll be worthy champions.  Hell, even if you win it on another Sterling dive, you’ll have something for England fans to enjoy for your lifetimes.  And as I've already clearly stated, you damned well should and will enjoy it.

 

At the same time, there’s a planet full of fans called “neutrals” for whom the Three Lions shirt doesn’t change certain players we don’t like, from clubs we don’t like, into players we do like.  And many of us aren’t fully convinced by what we’ve seen out of them so far.  Why on earth would we be?!  It’s been good, smart, but utterly run-of-the-mill tournament football.

 

I personally don’t favor either side going into Sunday, I’d just like to see a great match.  And if England prevail in a great match, hats off.

 1. No crying here sunshine. There's a game to look forward too.

 

2. I couldn't give a shiny shite if England 'convince the rest of the World' or you, how's that? 

 

3. Your definition of 'neutral', in your case, doesn't really seem to add up.

 

4. Hahaha, that why you posted your England 'car crash' comments before the Denmark match saying England were lucky to miss the Welsh and Switzerland lol and why you posted a mural of Italy players with the caption 'It's coming home' earlier in the tournament? Stick by your guns, have some balls and fully nail your colours to the opponents mast.

 

As I said, thinly veiled.

 

 

Edit - When you say 'If you smash Italy, you'll be worthy champions', how much do England have to beat an Italian team undefeated in 33 matches by, to be worthy champions, in your opinion? By smash, do you mean 3-0? 4-0? 5-0? I'm assuming by your wording that a 2-0 England win just wouldn't be good enough.

I'd be interested to know

I'm definitely not nearly as nervous as I was on FA cup final day, but that might change as the day wears on I suppose. 

 

I think I'm finding it hard to believe that we're actually here after waiting for so long! The difference between the two, for me, is that if I'm honest I never really expected City to win the cup however much I wanted it. But all my football supporting life I've had the expectation for England to do well drummed into me, with all the disappointment that has always followed. 

 

Here's hoping today will be different :)

I do wonder if Sterling's card will be marked regarding the referee. Of course he had a reputation before but the World and its uncle saw the semi final "penalty" and surely that includes tonights ref. I wouldn't be surprised if there are 2-3 occasions where he'll go down in the box tonight and one could even be legitimate but could see us not getting any sympathy. Having said that, by rights all 11 Italians would have their card marked too after that pantomime of a semi final.

 

Another angle is the potential heroes / match winners we have. Whilst the clean sheets and team work has been highlighted Kane and Sterling have been the key goalscorers, Could Grealish (Who has  had some praise for putting goals on a plate), Rashford (after all the work on the food for children campaign), Foden, pains me to say...Mount, Sancho or Sako be the goalscorer that would go down in history? Slab-head even?

 

Gut feeling 0-0 and pens, just hope we really go for it in extra time if that's the case and do everything we can to avoid penalties by order of my GP.

That really is brilliant. Goosebumps and just a bit choked. I don't know what's going on at the moment, whether it's because of what we've been through or something else, but this stuff is really getting to me. The FA Cup final left me in bits and just seeing this stuff, like the little girls reaction to being given Mason Mounts shirt, tugs at the heart strings.
