Your enemies failure doesn't make you a success.
If you get off on other people's disappointment, that's up to you..

it'l be sheer hell if England win the world cup , rammed down our throats at every football game an English team play
I'm almost edging towards wanting them to get to the Final to see them humped senseless by France or Belgium.
I'd love to see a total bloodbath on the pitch, a real 3 or 4 pumping by the first decent team they've come up against.
Men women and children from Carlisle to Torquay greetin' and depressed for weeks on end, it would be glorious.
Try turning on a tv or going on Twitter once and a while.
Football is all about rivalries. Are you saying you don't find it funny when hearts lose? I personally love seeing hearts, Celtic, rangers and England lose games of football as I cannot stand any of them in a footballing sense.
Only took about ten seconds into last night's Eastenders before Danny Dyer (the pricks prick) was singing 'It's Coming Home'
Fingers crossed that Croatia turn them over. I will then look forward to Eastenders on Thursday.
Oh, I get rivalries, I just don't get how you can take pleasure in other fans disappointment, when the game is nothing to do with us.
Pretty empty celebrating them failing to do what we can't come close to. Just shows us as being small minded.
A bit like that Yam weirdo that used to stand on the motorway bridge at Livingston with a big Hearts flag when we'd lost a game at Hampden.
Or even worse, those no marks that used to pay to get into ER when we were in the Championship. That just points to very small minded men, desperately wanting to be noticed
I'm pretty sure, you're not one of those though.
:agree:
I've just come back from the South of England and didn't encounter anybody that was so arrogant as to think they'd already won the thing.
Some of the newspapers, on the other hand, have it done and dusted, but who pays much attention to them (especially the Sun)
I’ve lived in England the last 23 years on and off, I’ts the first time I’ve actually supported them in anything, fair to say I’’m enjoying the experience and getting caught up in the excitement, maybe my fellow countrymen who live in England like myself should just embrace it instead of carrying the chip on the shoulder.
I was unfortunate enough to be down south when they annihilated the mighty Tunisia. Luckily I left for home two days later but the euphoria and triumphalism was bad enough then, so god only knows what it must be like as we await tomorrow's showdown
Hopefully tonight's match may be of sufficient good standard to perhaps instil at least a little degree of trepidation, but I doubt it.
Sir Harry and his knights in shining armour are ready to battle the infidels and put them to the sword, or so the media would have us believe.
I think the backlash will be bitter, bilious and prolonged.
I, for one, canny wait!
Jim Traynor in his Daily Record blog once wrote: “Petty and narrow-minded doesn't begin to describe the mentality of Scotland when it comes to England…..Maybe one day, if we ever grow up and become a proper country that stops blaming all its ills on its larger, wealthier neighbour, we might gain the credibility we crave in the wider world.”
Personally speaking as a bar manager in Cheltenham I hope they get to the final, it's good for business, but I do hope that if they get there I hope that they get absolutely pumped :greengrin
