Our qualifying record is outstanding and our group is piss easy. We've only played 2 games and we're top, despite everyone else already having played either 3 or 4 games.
But I guess we could just ignore the facts and be a cunt.

Dude, you joined this forum last month. If anyone's a multi...
Congratulations of ruining this thread too.One American poster agreed with my position but I’d not tar all with one brush.
Hey dude,

Good shout that the ballot process starts today - I had completely forgotten!
I've applied for every game in London as well as the opening game in Rome and a Saturday game in Bilbao.
Figured I might as well make a weekend trip out of those group games if I get tickets, and I've always watched the Euros from back in Aus at awful times early in the morning, so can't wait to get to a couple of games live.

Cool, if you ever want a bet on us qualifying I'll give you decent odds.
No, it's not a fact. What it actually is, is a hackneyed cliché.
for example...

Actually hope I don't get all the ones I applied for will be 4k coming out the bank
Hello
Better luck next time to the people who didn't manage to get tickets.
Unbelievably, I just got 2 tickets for the group D game at Wembley on Sunday 14 June. Will England definitely be playing in this game if they qualify ?
All I can see is a bit where it says if England qualify they will play two of their three group games at Wembley, it does not say which 2.
Any help would be massively appreciated, I don't want to buy the tickets and then find out England won't be playing in the match.
Please help.

You still have the choice but you have to buy everything you got in the ballot, or nothing at all
As I understand it (do not take this as the gospel!!), teams will 100% be drawn into the group hosted in their nation (so England will always be in Group D), and will 100% be at home for all group matches unless the other team hosting that group also qualifies. So if Scotland qualify, they will play against England in the group stage, and that game will randomly be at either Hampden or Wembley. So you only miss out on it being England if Scotland qualify (~50%), the matchround they play each other is the one you have tickets for (33%), and it's drawn to play at Hampden (50%) - overall a ~8% chance England aren't involved in that game, ~92% that they are.
Good for you mate (honestly!).
But, it doesn't seem very fair that you get three loads of 4 seats when others (e.g. me) applied for all of those games and got nothing. I wonder how the thing actually worked? Computer pulling out applications at random??
when was the last time we lost a qualifying match - you do yourself no favours with shit like this
So on one hand it's just a sideline hobby for the players, and on the other you're knocking their passion for celebrating a World Cup semi final goal.A free kick and early goal against Croatiain the most important match since 1966 the semis and all the effort of the sports psychologists is totally ignored.
The way those lads celebrated that goal was akin to us having won the competition only what five minutes in? The writing was on the wall -I knew it - the fire in my belly was extinguished-immediately
I don't think you actually have a point, other than to piss on other people's chips by being a negative arsehole.
But maybe you're just misunderstood
If the correlation between my two comments relating to obvious “over celebrating” a goal five minutes in, and Sports psychologists went over your head don’t take it out on me mate.
Quite clearly you are the one with the axe to grind here otherwise you wouldn’t be looking to pick a fight.
Let me spell it out.
Psychologists are well paid for their work, and their advice and counsel if taken can actually work wonders.
It’s a well known fact that the most vulnerable time to concede a goal against you is immediately after you yourself have scored and that is due to mindset.
My point is either the sports psychologists in the England camp are not doing their job or the players are not taking their advice.
That celebration was over the top and I’d say the same if it was Spurs. However in Amsterdam our lot got the goal celebrations about right!
