Ah, but we are:

1. Richest country in the world by far.
2. Everyone runs to us whenever shit hits the fan because we have the best military in the world (e.g., France during World War 2).
3. More people dream about coming to the US and creating great companies than any other country in the world.
Oldest allies

Name a country with a higher total GDP…

And name a big country with a higher per capita GDP (countries with populations less than NYC Metro Area don’t count)…

By the way, I immigrated to the United States when I was a child. I can appreciate its greatness!

You came in here to moan about the arrogant english media/fans and you've ended up being the classic stereotype of a yank, i.e going on and on about how great your country is to people who live in countries with free healthcare, no trump standing for elections, safe schools etc.

We don't care. We are very happy living in Europe. Your bragging about GDP and how much you waste on aircraft carriers isn't interesting to Europeans.
 
More shots on goal than England and the Netherlands.

More shots on target.

Better chance creation / Higher xG.

More touches in opponents penalty area.

The problem is not attacking its finishing. But don’t worry - if we get to the final we’ll be finishing all over your pretty little face x

Impotent FC, all foreplay no penetration

You're that guy who meets a load of women but can't get it up when it comes down to it.

But yeah touches in the opponent's area, whatever you need to justify Haram terrorist ball.

I say this as an England fan entirely accepting how negative Southgate is but France are god awful to watch.

Luxembourg is literally the richest country in the world.

But like I say, I'm not anti-US at all so have no dog in this fight. The US, UK and Australia are close cousins.

Then again I like the French so my opinion is probably invalid.

The stats were a comparison with England and the Netherlands.

We have been lacking but we’re better in most meaningful attacking metrics than England.

Mbappé and Griezmann have been passengers though and without them were blunt. Dembele and Barcola were both excellent when they came on though. And our defence has been unparalleled.

You’re right about the issues you raised… healthcare, gun violence, and Trump are big fucking problems.

Our big aircraft carriers and other military hardware saved Europe from the Soviets after WW2.
 
we are indeed insular, which is a great risk to the rest of the world
I'm too relaxed to care having spent the entirety of June travelling around on fully paid annual leave.

Great for you if that's something you're proud of, like the total GDP.

Shame Americans aren't in the top 20 for quality of life. That index is dominated by European countries.

Oh, and we have the best football in the world! :mourthumb:
 
It's a moot comment; cos that was not brought into question.

A "fuck up" indeed.
You asked why nicoclaesen didnt support a Scottish side in the 80s. He answered that very clearly, yet you picked the one bit of his reply that didn’t pertain to your question and called him out as strawmanning.

Hardly complete BS or a fuck up, but he did have the decency to answer your question.
 
I backed England to just win vs Slovakia and Switzerland. A veritable soothsayer.

And I think we will beat the Dutch. Again, very close. One thing is for sure ... no one will
want to go to pens with this England team.

True. Incredible to be able to write that.
