England Discussion | Finish 4th

About this being the chance of changing the cocaine Capital imagery; we have left that in the past. Colombia is known for its artists, sportsmen, coffee, water reserves, eco tourism and literature. We have many good things going about us since turn of the century, and hopefully are leaving that damn narco stereotype behind.

Sadly productions such as “Narcos” have put that damned SOB Pablo Escobar on the spotlight again... absolutely despise that murderous piece of shit. The day he was killed by police was one of the best days in our history.
We do have our own national productions still being about narcotraffic, though (usually the ones that have the most money in it).

Please stop calling us Columbia. As I told @ivaldo , it’s offensive to us: The fairest and easiest show of respect is to spell someone’s name correctly, and when people in Europe or USA call us Columbia it’s seem as if we are so insignificant they didn’t even try to learn the correct way of spelling our name.

Calling Colombia Columbia is one of the worst offenses to us, after name dropping cocaine or that SOB Escobar.
oh c'mon, I'm bothered by people not being able to write the name well but I would never say it's one of the worst offenses for us, nor do I personally know anyone here that's actually that bothered by it.

Considering the countless deaths that damn drugs have brought my country, it’s not as simple. It’s a bad joke and is a sensational media as “the Sun”, but is insulting a country with something that mid 80s, early 90s almost destroyed us.
We keep electing the same corrupt officials though. And some drug tied officials in the regions; we should kick that habit, too.
 
This England team reminds me of an international version of Leicester. Couple of big names and some willing runners, they all know what they're doing and they seem to lack egos. Big test tonight though. Will be interesting to see if any leaders step up.
 
He needs to be a good public speaker now?

No, who said that? I was just talking about your generous description of his speech impediment. I have it on the word of a few doctors that he has some structural problems with his lower mouth area and jaw, that could definitely be affecting his speech. He does sound like he has cotton balls in his mouth :D

Well I'm sure if he puts the ball in the back of the net a few times this evening nobody will be worrying too much about how he speaks.
 
We're so arrogant and deluded you have to say we deserve a hammering:

Pat Nevin on the BBC just now:

"If England play against that Sweden team, 99 times out of 100, they will beat them."

We've won 6 Knockout games in the World Cup or Euros in the last 52 years

This country needs to get a grip. Building the team up just makes it worse.
 
Are you English actually arguing about Kane being a good speaker or not? :lol:

Not like you've a vital game later or anything. #priorities

Kane can do whatever he likes after he scores the winning goal in the world cup final coming up.

It's coming home lads
 
What time is the England team announced? Any surprises on the cards?

Isn't Pat Nevin Scottish? Of course he'll say stuff like that, so its more funny when we feck it up.
 
Comes to something when people are pretending people are English to look for an excuse to slag us off. You'd think we were some amazing team to be jealous of :lol:
 
In the interests of balance, I don’t think many of us really believe.
There are some of course, that think we have a very good chance
Some even think we might get to the semis.


Caution should be exercised.
Over the past few tournaments, we’ve been terrible.
Many think that we will continue that tonight.
Incredibly, oppo fans are taking our good humour as Gospel
Nevertheless, if we perform then we have a chance
Good luck I say!


Honestly, though, it really could go either way
Of course we hope we win
Most of us are nervous but optimistic
England expects

Mate, you guys should be beating Sweden. Nothing arrogant in thinking that. But of course, never a given in the World Cup because it could be that 1/100 that happens.

For the most part England fans are the least arrogant anyway. Enjoying the whole Football's Coming Home FC and SouthGOAT ride while it lasts isn't a crime.
 
I think it's really immature and classless to say he is dumb because of a lisp he has or the way he speaks. The guy is one of the smartest players in the final third.
Exactly. He is smart like Romario to fool defenders and find spaces. Can't do that rellying only on instinct.
 
I should've strung it out a bit.

Wouldn't be surprised if
England go crashing out because
Recent history shows that
Every time's a disappointment

For the last couple of tournaments
Even the press have stopped believing
Can't see an easy game tonight
Kind as the draw may have been
Everybody's going a little bit giddy
Daft if you ask me

Tbf most of your football pundits are arrogant and stupid.

But watching English football on a regular basis, they are like that all the time . Even fit non England matters during the normal club season.

And Newspaper like the Sun are despicable pretty much throughout the year.
