Ffs. No wonder many neutrals want England to fail. I just turned radio Cornwall on and thats the first mutterings i heard, then an interview asking if he had hit his target of goals yet. Theyre being talked about as something special, and all theyve done is beaten Tunisia and Panama ffs whilst losing to Belgium. I really do hope Columbia do the business later 😎
It's beyond belief isn't it , two mediocre sides , one defeat and they are world beaters
Mind you we get the same with the rugby shoved down our throats
Well I'm guessing the media and fans as usual are over the top , im glad we didn't see that happen to Wales in the Euros , they could learn from our constraints.
As for Kane the team and manager I think they have shown constraints at at times played , albeit against average oppostion.
I will cheer them on as they are British and a good group of players ,bugger nationalism .
Oh, the tired old crap of stereotyping a whole country by a few idiots on a radio station. Yawn.Quote:

I pointed out that some of the big guns may have been knocked out, but you still have to play those sides that did the "knocking out".
C'mon Columbia!
Bugger Nationalism? Except British nationalism of courseQuote:

Fear?
Were there logistical issues?
It doesn't seem to have affected the South American fans who are there in droves.
I think its most certainly fear.Quote:

Sounds like four people have generalised pretty well in this thread, so it wasn't three, you're right.
Personally I think it has a lot to do with peoples' perception of the "England fan".Quote:

I'm not sure your "average" English football fan feels this.
It the old chip on the Welsh shoulder,why we cant be proud of what we have without referring to evil England as if we some second class nation is beyond me,lets take the moral high ground and move on .Quote:

The biggest irony is that the team we support has a more than significant number of English players in the team when the morons are singing anti-English songs from the stands.Quote:
