    I don't mind who wins it, but would like Croatia to win mostly if pushed.

    I do find at times people in Ireland can be very small time regarding England, yep they get carried away, but every nation does in these scenarios.

    We will probably be unbearable if were ever to win a world cup. :o

    Also what a tune.

    And the same people will be cheering for United, Liverpool, City or Spurs come August, which makes you laugh really. Before I laughed when England got knocked out but it was more because they thought they had a God given right to just show up and win, had the superstar players and highly paid foreign managers.

    There's something likeable about this England side in that apart from Harry Kane I don't think any other player would make one of the top European teams and Southgate seems like a nice chap whose there because he loves his country and probably not on mega money.

    I love that song. There, I said it.

    We should relate to it as well. It's about being miserable because the team is crap and everyone badmouths them but you still hold on to the that little bit of hope that they will do something great.

    Belgium is my first choice but I wouldn't mind England doing it. Belgium or England ahead of that Griezmann anyway.

    I'm just apathetic towards the English national team..

    Belgium for Lukaku and a Fellaini
    France for Pogba
    England for Lingard, Young and Jones.

    Other than Crotatia, I'm happy with any of the three :)

    Anyone but England, anyone shouting for them would want to have a look at themselves and be happy for one of the three other countries instead.

    Find them fairly likeable this time around. No primadonnas, no WAGs, good guy manager. After the Sweden game, Kane said ''we're taking this one match at a time.'' Harry Maguire was asked ''Is football coming home?'' and he sheepishly said ''I hope so.'' There's been no acting the bollox over there with their fans, the media has been pretty tongue in cheek with the #ItsComingHome stuff and all in all they're just more palateable.

    Also, France literally cheated to deny us a spot at the World Cup, why be happy for them?

    It's been 9 years, are people still holding onto that ghost?

    And Karma dealt with France when they imploded and subsequently eliminated at the group stages of the 2010 World Cup.

    Not really but it's far more relevant than anything England have done this century to us!

    It's probably being asked already, but has anyone got good websites for wrestling t-shirts, besides prowrestlingtees.com.


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,463 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    France deserved it and it's nice for them to have something to cheer for after the terror attacks a few years ago (nice for Belgium too getting to the semis)

    England too do it 2morrow I feel


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe

    I might end up in hell for this but that's now my favourite typo ever.

    France were excellent tonight it must be said.

    Well at least Henry got knocked out tonight.

    Would love Croatia to take the English on penos tomorrow.

    I only ever had 2 WWE t-shirts, and that was a decade ago, have a Bullet Club one, but the total price on prowrestlingtees.com kinda put me off, wait and see if I can find a website based in England or Ireland.
