Not the Republic of Ireland though. Never them. Ever. That's so much worse. Ireland aren't your rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 And this was only after a quarter final against Sweden. Let's be honest, England has a far higher proportion of total dickheads than any country in Western Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European Club competition also poses a different proposition for British Clubs. Whether its Wales, Chelsea, Northern Ireland, Hearts, England or Linfield, yep I wish them well. What’s wrong with that? Again I hope England win on Wednesday but I won’t lose any sleep if they don’t. I wonder why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambieBud Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I'd rather they'd mention 1966 than 2018. There are articles saying they haven’t got out of 2nd gear yet, that the world is shocked about their quality blah blah blah. Don’t forget Kane earns 200K a week!!!! That is over £10 million/year basic and he can take penalty kicks. If someone offered me £100 thousand a year, I would spend all day every day practicing penalties. Come on Croatia/Belgium/France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to them you would think that this team had already achieved the impossible and taken the whole tournament by storm when in fact the truth is of course far different. So far they've played 2 pub teams in the group stages and recorded one facile victory but only scraped a win in injury time against the other. I'll let them off with the Belgium defeat as both teams played their 2nd strings. Moving on to Colombia, they basically overcame a team who were no better than decent but who were also missing their undisputed best player and again they failed in both normal and Extra time to dispatch them and in fact were odds on to go out when Henderson missed his penalty (I guess the biometric testing didn't work for him), fair enough they got through but again they were ultimately very fortunate. Sweden were undoubtedly the weakest team remaining in the tournament and in all fairness England did dispatch them quite easily, however I remain to be in any way convinced that this team are anything other than ordinary and on paper it would have been a major shock if they HADN'T got as far as they have.................. So you think it would have been a shock if a very ordinary team had not made the semi-final? Your'e going to have to explain that to me mate, as you seem to be hedging your bets. They should make the semi final therefore I am giving them no credit for that, but they are still 'ordinary'. With all due respect, the 'ordinary' teams are all now back at home, along with some very good teams. 'Ordinary' teams do not get to world cup semi finals very often.
