I hope you are enjoying it...I'm not sure what I'm enjoying most......England getting to a third Semi Final in the last four tournaments or the utter boiling of piss and angst it's causing all the England haters in here.

Been awful in every game the big, weird lummox
Straight to attacking them instead of the merits of their point.
Declan Rice – 8
Another game where the Woolwich man seemed to be everywhere. Several occasions where he made the block or the interception, and was key to the defensive effort as always. He doesn’t need to, but if he could improve his attacking game he would be incredibly useful.
England v Switzerland player ratings as Bukayo Saka shines in quarter-final
England 1-1 Switzerland (5-3 on pens): The Three Lions squeeze through to the semi-finals after a nervy encounter in Dusseldorfwww.independent.co.uk
Independent's analysis dead on for me. People criticising him fail to understand his role imo - he is in this team to cover ground, to stop attacks, to be physical. Mainoo doesn't really carry any defensive burden so he is the only person in that midfield to do it.
People can criticise his passing range all they want, he's in here to do a basic role and he's doing it brilliantly as usual. Great strike to force a save from Sommer too.
They just can't go to the game...unless...
Yeah, but that still provides ammo for bantz!
Now you're attacking the messeger AGAIN instead of addressing the merits...and, as usual, anyone with criticism for England is predisposed to irrational hate.
So many things wrong with this statement and plays into so many other sociological things. You cannot say that he was definitively wrong...you cannot! But his take wasn't given any credence even before it was reported that nothing was picked up on mics...but the fucking absence of evidence doesn't mean the evidence of absence...flat foot FFS! You can merely say his claims remain unsubstantiated.
WOW, you're patronizingly doing it! You are telling them why they feel a certain way without even trying to understand their sentiment.
Not by the lot here it wasn't...and they still bey for blood...c'mon!
Really dismissive, D. How would you know what their lived experience is? I mean, they are telling you what it is and you are saying "Nah, I know more about your life than you do...lying cunts".
so how's that go for you...saying positive things about England = great journos; say something critical about England = haters of England and its fans? convenient my man.
Thanks! I hope it’s an England v France final!
Amazing you’ll come out of the Euro2024 thread hating the Americans more than the french !!
Don't worry Tyler...you've only got another couple of days before you go all Vesuvius and have to take a bit of time off. You'll be able to hold it down better when you come back in your new guise.
