Let's all Laugh at England

So one team celebrating England's demise is representative of the entire UK and Ireland's opinion? Like I said, please present some statistics the show that England is the most hated nation. As another poster has shown, the English population is by far larger than all other countries' in the UK and Ireland. I just cant see English people hating themselves.

Well yes, if you go by population size and include every country's opinion of itself then that would change things. I rather think you know that's not what we meant though.

For further context, Scottish fans in Ireland:



Whereas you're unlikely to see, say, a load of Irish fans telling the Welsh that they hate the Scottish more than they do. You can't honestly have been unaware that football fans from the other home countries and Ireland have this dynamic towards the England football team? I mean it's something that's been around for so long that it is actually lessening at this point.

Probably because the Irish aren't really any good at anything. The Welsh have rugby, the Scots have headbutting.

They did invent Guinness, although I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. I'm also rather partial to an Irish coffee.
 
It's all a bit of banter really isn't it. Have to say though your team this year is pretty likeable, as is Southgate. Just so happen your country dragged mine out of Europe. So, yeah, 'mon Croatia.

If you're Scottish it's your own fault.

You had your chance to escape all this shit, to escape the Tories forever. And you voted to stay

Mind boggling.
 
I meant them getting dragged out of Europe through Brexit is their own fault for not voting for independence.

Not being Scottish is their own fault !

:lol:

Couldn't agree more. Just like with you guys down south, it's the pensioners fecking everything up.
 
i suppose after a few drinks and a chaser of empathy it's clear why the England fans are so precious.....

100 years ago they are a major player on the World scene and with Germany on their knees, the US isolationist and France a mess after WW1 you could argue they were the superpower in the world

there's always been major insecurity about the English.... like who calls your territory 'Great' Britain unless you've a major hangup about your dwindling role in the world.

Flash forward 80-100 years and you are the laughing stock of Europe and attempts to stay relevant seems to be doing whatever successive US presidents tell you to do. Hugh Grant had more of a backbone in Love Actually than Blair, Cameron or May.

and here we have the World Cup....Set Piece FC scrape past a couple of third tier teams and they think they are a player again on the World stage

I think it's only fair that we are respectful to England fans and let them milk this moment as let's face it their only notable achievements of the last decade have been Love Island and Britain's got talent

it's coming home
any biting?

With their arrogance, their little catch phrases and their obsession with the past the England team are essentially international footballs equivalent of Liverpool.

It's no wonder that Irish, Scottish and Welsh United fans dislike them..
