State of that a top striker and a couple of good attacking midfielders and the rest of it bang average at tournament level and people think England have a chance

Absolute clueless w***** he is another reason that puts me off England his selections are a joke. Imagine thinking a team with a dodgy keeper, dodgy centre halves and no centre mid capable of running a game has a chance man. Only in this country

Racist so nobody can be against taking the knee now then. Ok.

Maybe as they are the biggest committers of gun and knife crime and most it seems to happen in largely black areas? so makes sense they get searched. I bet plenty of white people get searched too just don’t have a chip on their shoulder about it. I don’t see the issue with been searched if they have nothing to hide and it’s for everyone’s safety I don’t get the issue it takes 30 seconds and helps keep gun and knife crime down. I don’t agree with taking the knee end of and incredible you think I’m in some minority. I bet 50% of the people you all know away from this board don’t agree with it either. I’m not saying they would be as petty as me or that they would boo but I bet there is loads you all know who don’t agree with it at least.

Because he thinks he is hard done by and even said people want to see him fail just because he’s black. Aye looks like it doesn’t it with his pro Man U contact millions in the back and England armband on. People really want you to fail aye. What about millions of white people who have had f all and struggle to put food on the table they have more of a right to complain about not having any opportunities . I just don’t agree with this knee taking at all. That’s allowed isn’t it? Or is nobody allowed to disagree with it? And all who do are some raving national front lover despite seemingly at least half the country disagreeing with it. People are allowed opinions and don’t have to think what the FA and media say. Anyhow up the Croats.

I would say more and people people having social media is the main reason for that increase and what if it was racial abuse toward a white person which plenty of them cases may well be too. Another thing that made me angry was that bellend Jenas saying he will tell his son to not accept getting stopped and searched by police! Incredible. What is the issue with been searched if you have nothing to hide? What if his son was to become a victim of knife or gun crime because the police stopped searching people!?

When did I say that stop putting words in my mouth man and accept there is plenty of people (millions) who don’t agree and/or don’t want to see knee taking before a football match. There only “abhorrent” as you and the pack on here don’t agree. Least I speak my mind. I bet 50% of the country would agree with me going off the reactions to the knee taking, speaking to people at work and online off this forum. Accept it’s a two way thing and people are allowed a different view to what is been pushed

So you want it at zero? That’s never going to happen. I resent the way it’s been made out to be a problem and that we are a country of national front lovers over 0.0000000001% ( who may well not even be from this country) It’s like us having 5 people in jail for murder or rape and saying we have a massive problem with rape in this country. You are never going to get a crime, which is what racial abuse is, down to zero. Anyhow what a way to spend a Sunday morning cheers the FA. Might turn it on once the games started to hopefully watch Croatia pass England off the pitch and little arms to drop a clanger. I don’t see any of the nations on the continent doing this for some criminal from America.

I know they don’t just saying it’s not all one way and that we aren’t a nation of national front lovers. I’ve said I’m open to accepting that is is probably slightly more of an issue than I think but i do believe it’s all been blown out of proportion and resent been made out like we are a country of racists where blacks can’t have anything when that’s so far from reality and the truth. Hearing Sterling is starting is enough to put me off regardless. And what about Mings?! How come it never gets mentioned he should be in jail for what he did to Oliverias face not pleading how hard done by he is. He’s lucky lucky man to be roaming the streets still lets have it right. You stamp all over someone’s face on purpose you get 3 years

Never been wouldn’t know but I know there are certain areas where a white man would definitely be at risk. It works both ways and things have 2 sides and are open for debate not just the FA telling us England has gone back to like it was in the 70s and bananas will be back on the pitch soon and been black means that people want to stop your path to making it as a pro footballer which is quite clearly rubbish by the amount of diverse players we have in the game in this country. Andy Cole, ASM, Willock, Ferdinand and Asprilla, they were hero worshipped! Nobody cared what colour they were. Yes they were all really good but let’s look at joelinton, he is regarded as been poor and gets loads of grief but I’ve never heard or seen anyone racially abuse him ffs

I mean remembrance day and the poppy are events that have gone on for decades for factual events where men have laid their lives down for the greater good. Not some empty gesture as Marcus Rashford has had 0.0000000000001% of his social media following trolling him for a reaction.

Also I can not stand Southgate, Pickford, Henderson and the manure players anyhow so wouldn’t be supporting them regardless.

I don’t know if I would but I’m guessing if I went to Asia to work around dozens maybe hundreds of Asians that a minority would call me names or nicknames for been white? So you are telling me if I walked down certain areas of Luton or Bradford last night I wouldn’t be at risk of getting jumped for been white? As i would say there is a good chance I would. I’ve even been told that off people who live in areas like that. Just saying it’s not all a one way thing.

Fair point but I believe they are been forced into it rather than wanting to do it. I bet they would rather focus on football and not have all this brewing around them if they could.

Because I know what the build up and post match is largely going to be about and i want to watch and hear about football not all the storm that is inevitably going to come from this today. I’m almost certain it’s all been pushed so much to cause more division and friction. Do any other countries in Europe do it out of interest and I wonder if there FA pushes it like ours do and I bet England is a lot more tolerant and diverse than most european countries.
