Scotty66 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I can see why people boo the other anthem tbh, make it as hostile as possible for the opposing team when you're at home. Do they hand out fines when people boo and whistle while the away team are in possession? Or when players cup their ear and celebrate in front of the other teams fans I'm pretty sure our anthem was booed in France, Germany, Russia etc. Football is getting so bloody soft man.

ToonArmy1892 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Booing is fine apart from the anthem imo. I'm fine with people booing ours mind, fuck that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Ive been looking back at our old England squads that went to various tournaments over the years. The last squad that, on paper at least, looked like it was capable of winning something was the 98 world cup squad. Every single player was in their prime. Other squads were good on paper but never fulfilled their potential. This current squad look to be peaking just at the right time, almost as if they are a club side. And of course, this squad will mostly be going to the world cup next year. Foden and Bellingham will be another year wiser, Grealish will be at a big club and will have more experience, most of the squad will still be in their prime. Even if we win on Sunday I don't think this squad has peaked in terms of overall potential. Of course if we win this thing on sunday we'll be accused on only being able to win at home, but so fuck.

ponsaelius Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 A lot of England squads in my lifetime, for all the talent in the first XI, didn't really have the depth that this squad has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yeah I mean we had a left wing problem for years. Now we've got loads of high quality, tactically flexible wide players. Same at full-back - far better depth than in previous years. Definitely less 'star names' than the so called golden generation - but I think that partly reflects the nature of this generation of players rather than necessarily their quality. It's like before the tournament my lass (who knows nothing about football) was struggling to name a single England player - but could reel off loads of the 2004-2010 era squad. Because they were celebrities as well as players. This St George's Park generation are more known for being excellent but grounded footballers, and have come through playing in the youth teams together. It's all very German tbh. Which is a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same version I watched a few years back, on film rather than video tape, it's well worth a watch. No "they think it's all over", though.
