Rob1981 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 “Football comes home” was the official marketing slogan for Euro 96 before Baddiel and Skinner used it. But originally it was used because we were hosting a tournament, now everyone just says “football’s coming home” every time they think England are going to win which doesn’t make much sense. But yeah, it’s coming home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Forget coming second in the group, we are going right through against all the tough teams and righting all the wrongs from previous years. R16 - we beat Colombia by the odd goal, Jordan Pickford pulls off a Rene Higuita scorpion kick in stoppage time when they push for an equaliser QF - if it’s Brazil, Kieran Trippier lofts in a free kick from miles out which looks like a cross but then drops in under the bar with their keeper scrambling. Or if it’s Germany we win on penalties after equalising with a goal like that one Gazza just missed. SF - Beat Portugal on penalties. Ronaldo gets sent off after stamping on someone and the cameras catch Jesse Lingard winking. Then it’s a rerun of Euro 2004, one of their defenders gets a winner chalked off before Jordan Pickford takes his gloves off in the shootout, saves one and scores the winner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwig Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I went to an open park concert a few years ago and the Lightning Seeds were playing. Apart from being a bit rubbish they didn’t even sing Three Lions. When they finished their set everyone assumed they would come on and do it as an encore so the crowd were all singing along but they just never returned.

forameuss Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 2 hours ago, Crispypaul said: "And we'll really shake them up When we win the world cup" We did win it though. We beat Holland 5-0 when Archie Gemmill scored another 2, then we pumped everyone in the second group stage, then Argentina in the final, and Ally McLeod brought the trophy home. If we didn't, then how come we did? I've always found the laughing at England part a bit disingenuous. Sure it's just the rivalry, but to laugh at England getting another (at least) 2nd knockout round exit is an incredibly wee team attitude when we haven't been able to qualify. Still, it gets an incredible rise of whataboutery from some, so that's nice. If England did somehow manage to win it, good for them. My Dad would be delighted, so that'd be nice. It doesn't directly affect Scotland in any way, so I find it hard to muster up the bitterness that some can show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameuss Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 If there's one word I'd use to describe England, it wouldn't be overrated. They perform largely to par in most tournaments. They're in the second tier of nations outwith the ones that will constantly challenge for tournaments. That is, they could push to the semis or even the final with some luck, but will likely be last 16 more often than not, quarters as an expectation. Although if I was Belgian, I'd probably not be throwing stones from a position of having a ridiculously talented squad that has done largely nothing* * which could all change of course if they win this tournament (which they likely won't) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Modern football was created by English and evolved by the Scots Until we showed ya that you can pass the ball, England's idea of football was to run in formation - one man has the ball and dribbles with his teammates behind him ready to get the ball if he is tackled.
