Probably because there’s loads of English people on the board and about 3 Argentinians and 7 germans.
Anyway, game was last week fellas
Yeah because everyone's being sooooo serious. Plus there are far more English on here than others, so what do you expect? And we went further in the tournament too, which is why you lot are so bitter.
In short, stop taking it all so serious you weapon
Plus has anyone gone on about politics or either of those countries historical deeds in those threads? Has either of those countries got bitter little side bits that like to pop up and bitch and whine?
I think not!
Hehehe!
Isn't it fair to say that at this point Brazil is football's home and England is the rural village football sometimes looks at in photographs to remember how far it has made it over the years?veryseriouspost
Come one man, thats a bit much isn't it. Surely you can tell most of it is friendly banter?
talk about bitter and twisted, take a friendly bit of banter ffs
The Mayans played a game of kick about with human heads in a stone court in the shape of an I. Maybe we'd better give them credit?
C'mon, this is about Banter.
The one Brazilian person I can remember on the board lost the plot so badly after their semi final exit he got himself banned. 100% record
From you yes.
The Egyptians are an older civilisation arent they? I'm surprised you's dont have some sort of Egyptian relic in one of your museums proving the fact...The Mayans played a game of kick about with human heads in a stone court in the shape of an I. Maybe we'd better give them credit?

I'm sure we do and no, they are not having them back.....fingers keepers......
Football's not going home, is that what you're saying?I'm sure we do and no, they are not having them back.....fingers keepers......
You're missing the point. I think you've got it badThe Egyptians are an older civilisation arent they? I'm surprised you's dont have some sort of Egyptian relic in one of your museums proving the fact...
It has no permanent home, it is truly global. Those who regard Ingerland as football's home probably also still mourn the demise of the British Empire
Yeah that should come home too!
I miss Mboto Gorge the most!No doubt, the price of tea has quadrupled in that time
The reason we’re stuck on the side bits is because you feckers ran us out
And that's why you guys are mad? Because we want football to come home first?
I mean no offense, but come on, it's football dude.
They had a good tournament but they didn't play especially well. They played good tournament football, however, and this is more important. Controlling possession, defensive, set piece goals, resting players, last minute goals. They just ran out of legs at the end. They will have learned a hell of a lot. They just need some more depth now and hopefully some players will come through in the next two to four years.
Look at this Pete guy, can't even laugh at England properly.
Another bitter.
Another bitter.
England flattered to deceive.
They only came up against 3 good sides, Belgium, Croatia, then Belgium again; losing all 3.
They played and conceded to Tunisia, Panama and Colombia. Colombia taking them to penalties without their best player, and needing a last minute goal to get past a poor Tunisia side.
Sweden were hard done by with a MOTM performance from Pickford, who pulled off several world class saves to keep England on the front foot.
It wouldn’t surprise me if England had less than 10 shots on target during the knockout rounds. The creation was non-existent from the midfield and everyone seemed scared to shoot, instead playing sideways and backwards.
They won’t have a better chance draw-wise in my lifetime to do something at a major tournament.

Yes but the original meaning of the song was “it’s coming home” as in “we’re hosting a major tournament for the first time in ages” (Euro 96) but this time it was re-purposed to mean “we’re going to win the World Cup” - sung and referenced by the media ad nauseum as the “easy” route opened up.
All this, together with premature talk of knighthoods, victory parades, etc was frankly disrespectful to Croatia who I bet (in the words of a football philosopher) “loved it loved it” when they brushed you aside in the semi.
That's what stings the most and why this thread is 60 pages and counting. They're still quite delicate after Waistcoat Wednesday.
Which makes it more amusing the ones on here laughing at us not beating Croatia because they are such a small country.
Oh and again it's a non-Englishman paying any attention to the English media. They are trash and everyone knows it! Why is rhis such a shock to you guys or matter so much this time aeound? They always do it every fecking time. Yet now it's a big problem?
I tells ya why. Bitterness at how far we got, that's why.
I'm adding white text though I really shouldn't need too haha.
I liked your bit about Kane and the Golden Boot. It made you appear even-handed while sticking the knife in. But then you deleted it.
It's a shame because that made it quite effective.

It did! I'm still playing though:Well we are allowed to want to do well. After all we aren't some piddling little piss-ant country used to failure every single time so we expect it (naming no names).

I deleted it because I tried to have a swipe but got my facts wrong. I made a balls of it by saying he scored from open play against Tunisia.

I'm pleased for you that you're proud that the inventors of football made it further than you have in decades. It's just a pity you choked against a piss-ant country of four million.

Wow, this is a joke thread mate. That's incredibly harsh on Croatia!
They've done something now, they aren't piss-ant league anymore
I think taking English media seriously is just a way for non Englanders to express their self deprecatory humour with a fun song.
I like it!
Who’s mad? I was just joking
Not doubting there are 'sensitive' England fans, won't the thread size be due to there being loads more English than say Spanish or Portuguese on here?
For the 99th time - no it wasn’t.
You realise that the song was rehashed for the 1998 WC don’t you? That was in France (not England) - it was a pi$$ take then as well.
No-one in the UK listeners to our media or newspapers - if you do, then more fool you.
52% of the county do.
