Great game
That's just lived experience of watching a lot of US Sport, and having been in the US when major tournaments have been on in the past.Quote:

Turkey, Slovenia, Slovakia, Georgia (off the top of my head) have all played with heart and determination. If we’d played with half of that, we’d have done so much better.Quote:

Why do English Journalists and commentators not pronounce Dusseldorf correctly, does my head in it does.
Another one :greengrinQuote:

Never bothered watching the rest of the coverage so not sure what the end of game analysis was like.Quote:

Not happy with the result but this is good. Pakistan and India fans put away their differences to celebrate England's penalty at Edgbaston watching the cricket. Farage look away now

Two rival fans united in their love for England 🙄Quote:

I can recommend the danish coverage for similar reasons 😁Quote:

Any team with Pickford in it is easy to dislike. In all seriousness it’s not a dislikeable England side other than one or two individuals.Quote:

Think some of Southgates decisions are utterly bizarre and straight up wrong despite them still scraping though. Should've taken another left back, should've sorted his left wing problem months ago and Ben White should be playing every minute considering his club form. Crazy not to apologise and get him back.
FFS, its Engurland what is difficult for a Scot to dislike, 2 faced patronising shower that they are.

Maybe not all of us are consumed by hatred?Quote:

When does dislike turn to hatred ffs. When twisted to suit an agenda I guess.Quote:

England aren't playing particularly well and have been riding their luck in games though I still see it very much as a game to close to call , could go either way .Quote:
