D_LO_ Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Just now, PMLF said: surely at some point they will have to win titles again, France, Italy, Spain and Germany had their time, maybe at some point it will be England's time too. Exactly, it's simple maths. I ignored the first bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMLF Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Interesting article: World Cup 2018: Brazilian songs, Moscow streets and why England know they're not yet feared by those who matter: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/world-cup-2018-brazil-moscow-england-colombia-belgium-draw-gareth-southgate-a8422271.html English press noticed that England is not mentioned on that song.

Pukey Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 "Should Southgate’s side exceed all expectations and reach the semi-finals they will meet Spain, with La Roja likely to be overwhelming favourites" Absurdly presumptuous, not even a "they will most likely meet," just straight up pretending Spain beating home nation Russia and then an excellent looking Croatia or a Denmark team that hasn't lost a game in ages is an absolute guarantee. And bothering about not being included in another nation's song is like caring your team isn't included in that "**** them all" chant Millwall do. Before the tournament everyone here said we had no chance, and suddenly the press are surprised that other countries felt/still feel the same?

For example the 'it's coming home' thing is pretty funny imo, but not when it's repeated over and over again. Next to this I have a feeling for some English folks there is a sense of seriousness in it, which if fine btw, you can show some sense of chauvinism during tournaments like this. But then don't go in complete denial or put it off as banter when it all blows up in your face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I saw a mad statistic earlier that Harry Kane, in just over 170 minutes or so, has scored the same amount of goals in World Cups (5) that Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen managed in a combined 23 games.

forameuss Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 On 29/06/2018 at 16:04, Wiggins' Young Boys said: The only people who take them seriously are the ABE brigade Yeah, because there's absolutely no-one in England mopping their ever-so-pink brow with a hanky as they read the red-tops, lapping up every single word... I don't doubt for one minute that most of England's fans don't believe the hype, but to say that no-one in your country takes them seriously is a bit rich. If they didn't, there wouldn't be a need for the paper. On 29/06/2018 at 16:35, Crispypaul said: Mainly the far-north outpost, who would never, ever do the same....

TM Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 people do realise in 1978 that Scotland had a parade at Hampden on an open top bus BEFORE even going to the World Cup in Argentina?

Rob1981 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 My god that game was embarrassing Team vs Trinidad and Tobago: Paul Robinson, Jamie Carragher, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Ashley Cole, David Beckham, Steve Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Peter Crouch, Michael Owen. With Rooney coming off the bench for the last half hour. Up against a back four pulled together from Gillingham, Luton, Wrexham and a random Trinidad and Tobago league side.
