That’s a good point grum. Had 5 live on tonight and that clown Dion Dublin seems to think they’ve already won it.
There’s also the fact that as previous England footballers have expressed, if they perform badly/make mistakes they will get hammered by the press and pilloried by their idiot supporters.
Exactly! Like most United fans, I’ve got no time for Engerland after the vitriol aimed at Becks then Phil Neville by nobhead Engerland fans. And that’s before the days of the cesspit that is Twitter
Which the FA and the Engerland set up gave them absolutely zero support and just threw them to the wolves in the press. The FA sat back while Engerland fans and the tabloid media published pictures of gaving effigies of the burnt
Seriously? Get a ****ing grip
Is it any wonder Scholes and other United players announced their early international retirement and every United player developed phantom injuries whenever internationals came around.
The whole culture around Engerland is absolutely toxic and occupied almost exclusively by racist bell ends
We all know the clubs with the nobhead meathead racist supporters and there’s a huge crossover to the Engerland support, and it’s yet another reason why the supporters of other clubs who tend not to have racist nobheads as supporters want **** all to do with it .
Last I heard, they were supporting Spain.
Huge football fan, will search net for any game thats on, in the past though - Covid has changed everything for me, I still watch as many games as I can but its out of habit, not passion.
Daughter and I would normally be putting up the wallchart, collecting the stickers. picking teams we want to do well etc, but this year...just no interest at all. I will still watch it but used to make sure I had enough leave to watch the afternoon games, this time round if I miss some so what - and thats so unlike me.
I think, its due to the fans, watching games with no fans is like a training session, and now some of the fans are back its slightly better but still just meh about it all...
Mates all feel the same, no days in the pub around England games planned, no competitions or bets, no buying team shirts, used to do so much around the big competitions and now no one cares ...
I'm the opposite of binners. I don't care about club football but I love international tournaments 🙂

Full MemberJust be grateful nobody has used the ‘S’ word yet 😉
Solskjær?
Lol @ binners 🤣
Wallchart up gor the kids to fill in
I'm organising the sweepstake in work.
Tbh I enjoy playing football more than watching it these days, but will watch the England games and semis, final with the kids
I think the "proper supporter" not caring about International football is only really reserved for supporters of the traditional big clubs.
I have no idea how England will get on but for the first time in a while looking forward to seeing how the likes of Foden, Grealish, Sancho, Mount (and Ben White but that's purely down club bias) get on and if any of them will be able to make an impact in the tournament like Gazza did in 90 or Rooney in 04.
According to ITV4 there seems to be some football thing on the way - I know this as I tend to have ITV4 on in the background as it shows some terrible shows from 70s and 80s that seem to work well as background noise without being massively distracting. However, last week has been tennis and this week tennis is tailing off and it seems to be football, so something is definitely happening.
Quite simply I think it needs a break.
It's been on non stop for what seems like forever due to every single PL game being televised.
I'm a Leicester season ticket holder and I just couldn't give two shits about England atm.
Saturation point reached.
Get yerselves a shirt for £70, or about £25 in a couple of weeks.
Just consider it a warm up for the spectacular that will be Qatar 2022!!!
@binners rugby makes perfect sense, it's just that it's all a bit much for the average footie fan to cope with that's all 😉
I love basically any international tournament. Olympics, footie, rugby, tennis, cycling, the lot. Although I did draw the line at watching triathlon on telly. I can barely think of a worse spectator sport.

Yet you’re happy to heap the same shit onto players of teams that you don’t like, before your traditional masturbation over something that “straight-talking team-betraying dog-walker” Roy has spurted for the pleasure of the not-so-deep thinking fan. I realise, where football is concerned, hypocrisy comes easily to you binners, but you usually manage more than two or three posts before the flagrant one.
You’ll deny it of course, but I suspect you’d be a lot more “interested” in international football if your team didn’t routinely qualify. I’d point out the arrogance your attitude would display to fans of smaller nations that get to have a go at the group rounds every ten years or so, but it would be lost on you.

State of Origin starts in a minute. Or are you talking about soccer, not football?

Nah, there's always been a club over country attitute towards England if you support a northern club. I'd say a (northern) Utd supporter would be more likely to get behind Ireland or Wales in a tourney than England, I certainly would and my club is L2 so never even slightly troubled by Internationals.
Glad to see the BBC are making their matches available in UHD HDR. Their HLG streams look fantastic so looking forward to it.

Yeah the combination of VAR nonsense/no crowds/complete saturation/ESL drama has just completely switched me off football.
Well I am looking forward to it. I had goosebumps listening to the crowd at the FA Cup final (not a supporter of either team) so seeing and hearing a home crowd cheer England on in the lovely warm early summer sunshine will be wonderful.
I'm looking forward to seeing what imaginative way of failing gloriously Scotland manage this time. The woman's team really raised the bar at the world cup. I'm thinking we'll lose to the Czechs and Croatia but hammer England, with Billy Gilmour playing keepie uppie just like Jim Baxter.

Bloody hell Bravissimo, you’ve had you’re grumpy-flakes this morning 😂
I know you’re peeved that Roy was howwid to poor Jordon but it’s hardly death threats is it?
I couldn’t give a toss wether Engerland qualify or not. There’s so much to dislike about the whole set-up. It’s pretty impressive for their meatheaded, knuckle-dragging supporters to come up with yet more this time around
the irony and sarcasm appear to be lost in the typing.
Has the football bubble burst?
Nooooooo!
It keeps all the riff-raff contained at the weekends. Take away football and what do you get? Drunken louts wandering around with nothing to do but cause trouble.

He is a complete prick of a guy to be fair.
I'll never forgive him for Saipan.

I couldn’t give a shit what he says about Jordan Henderson. I’m not sure many people do…other than you of course who seem to hang on his every ejaculation of word cocktails.
Yep was feeling the same not much interest (but then my interest in football has been in decline ever since Mourinho was made Spurs manager, have preferred watching the lad on a Sunday morning)
But the office fantasy football email went around yday and my interest has improved greatly ... I like a bit of tournament fantasy, a whole season is too long to hold my interest.
So I'm looking forward to it now, I like watching tournament football with no allegiances and the first game could be quite good ... Turkey for the upset ??
I saw my first car flag today whoo!

I know we are meant to try and understand where people are coming from and not just dismiss them as racist idiots, but when people are just so indescribably dumb where do you even start? People like this get to vote in elections too. :-/
