I can smell your sarcasm wafting out of my computer screen. You are atop of the CAB game thing standings, your team is in the final, now you are urinating over our run in the 2018 World Cup.


Supporting Croatia now. :-p

I send my commiserations...to the Columbians.

Maybe, maybe not. But if maybe not, it's 2 years of gloating in PM to you.

I supported France in 98 to the chagrin of my rosbif pals. Watched the final on a big screen on a beach in Marseille and shagged some girl from Avignon in her swimming pool at midnight. Ultimate treachery. Didn't use a johnny, got some half Frog bastard running round the South of France, never seen the kid. So, yeah, I got a stake in the final. It's no preference for me, no hipsterdom, no contrarianism. It's family. Allez, Thibault. Allez, mon petit Bleu. Allez, mon fils.

has her majesty released a statement yet?

She, like most well adjusted people, doesn't really give a shit. It was just a fun, meaningless distraction.

Supported them way before hipsterdom and contrarianism were recognised in the upper echelons of football fandom. Allez Laissez-faire, Allez.

It was really the first time in along time England actually looked like they knew what they were doing for much of the time rather than "knick a goal and then get way too deep" from Sven onwards or just clueless generally. The passing in defence and use of long balls was excellent and ultimately the limiting factor was I'd say simply a lack of absolute quality.

Don't ever talk to me or my son again.

Really, looking to Micky Dolenz and Prince William for support was always going to blow up in everyone's faces.

Can someone try to spin this campaign into being victim to "The Curse of Three Lions" so as an unwritten rule we never have to hear the song or see the memes ever again?

Surely you've supported them since finding out about football? You're French aren't you?

remedial_gash

Can barely be arsed to post how delighted I am that they lost - sort of flipped and supported them in the second half - I like Southgate and don't really hate any of the players. Should have been 3-0 up at half time, and while good in the first half of extra time, looked like cunts in the second half, till they went behind.

Oh shit. Mate, whatever you do, do not look at where the Euro 2020 final is being held.....

Fuck that. I've got The Tour De France and Team Sky and all their drugs to watch on the ITV Hub.

Right....

......I see.

I could give an explanation on how you're doing football wrong but you've probably heard it before.

Best side won, decent game, good luck to the Croats.  Very promising future for this England side.

ITV need to fuck off and stop showing England matches. The Columbia match wasn't exactly a pleasant experience until the cum shot.

Modric is fucking ace though, isn't he.
Best player on the pitch tonight BY A FUCKING MILE!

No joke.

Thought he was going to snap in half sprinting after a fresh Rashford to put a sliding challenge in.

Think he is going to collapse, looking absolutely buggered, he then plays a beauty of a ball with the outside of his boot to set up an attack.

He needs rest.

Croatia have effectively played an extra match on their run to the final. France are going to run all over them.

I don't understand why people bring up teams played in a cup competition as if it matters the same way it does in a league.

Even game, England played well but were beaten by the better team on the day. We've played great football, we've scored goals and we got to the semi-final. Seen England be shit enough times to want to celebrate the times we actually do well.

Spot on, they can hold their heads up high this time.

Famously of course England were knocked out in the 1990 semi-final and still went on to win the whole thing.
