Shak Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 England people must be incredibly spoiled if they think their team is so rubbish they shouldn't follow it. Never want to say anything when they're all moaning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I've heard that idea of supporting France instead of England a few times. It's just bizarre to me. I'll admire other teams for their style of play, but I can't support anyone else but England. Euro 2008, I found it impossible to genuinely support another team, I ended up watching most games as a neutral or siding with the underdog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'll support England at the World Cup like i do every other major competition. Something happens and I actually start to care again, even though we're utter s***. I f***ing love the World Cup, man, it wouldn't be half as good without a team to genuinely support (not just adopt to be zany or what not). Agreed. Couldn't care less about International's throughout the season but once it gets to a major tournament I love following England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ronaldo is incredible. I genuinely really hope he wins the Ballon d'or this year as he's been phenomenal for so long. For once Messi hasn't quite been at the top of his game and fuck off with this idea of Ribery winning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 England people must be incredibly spoiled if they think their team is so rubbish they shouldn't follow it. Coming from a horrible footballing country I've always found this really weird. Is it a common thing everywhere in England? I can't imagine what would make me so apatethic towards the Finland team.

Coming from a horrible footballing country I've always found this really weird. Is it a common thing everywhere in England? I can't imagine what would make me so apatethic towards the Finland team. In my experience no, it's definitely a more Northern (Manchester/Liverpool>NCL) thing though. Paid too much etc. is an easy label to throw around, they're paid on par with any other sporting professional in a popular sport. Thinking they're better than they are is a lot of folks gripes but even then that's on the wane. England did until recently get lumped in with the hype around PL. Most it massively unwarranted. All in my opinion like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Watching at Wembley would suck the life out of it for me. One of the flattest atmospheres you're likely to experience at International footy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Zlatan's said he won't be at WC2018, as would be expected. Fucking shame we didn't go to 2010 when he was a fucking monster. Feels like a dive into eternal darkness for Swedish football after Euro 2016, even though I seriously doubt we'll get there without anyone emerging from out of nowhere. Still feel blessed to have lived through the age of Zlatan, this country will never see anything like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help every fucking game is there and for anyone from remotely out of London would have to taken an afternoon/day off work to get there and then need to stay over in London after the game.
