Providing we win the tournament? Have you watched england recently?

Good post.
I'm liking your patriotism. Its very rare on here these days.
Good on you.
my hammers, what point am i missing? That us as a nation damage our players chances before every tournament.
Uncle Anesthesia (U1449)
Just need a lucky run, a bit of luck, look qat greece 2004
How do we as a nation damage their chances?
The players are simply not good enough to compete with the better teams, only gullible people who believe the media think otherwise.
The media are worst culprits for destroying our chances!

Thats harsh. Last years WC aside, we rarely get shown up on the big stage. Losing to Portugal on pens, Germany on pens or losing 2-1 to Brazil in the quarters, is far from a disgrace.
It makes me laugh how easily fans walk away from their country when the national team isn't doing well, but claim not to be plastic fans on the club scene. Any fan who turns their back on a respective team, at club or international level, are not worth worrying about at all.
One word describes fans like that, plastic.
I'm not necessarily calling you plastic, thats just my definition of fans who turn their backs when the chips are down.
Like i said earlier, were just not good enough, look at the performances and don't blame the manager, once the players cross the line it's down to them and they always choke, honestly if you think england are "a bit of luck" away from beating spain, germany, france and others then you must be watching a different england to me.
Uncle
I couldn't care if they were miles away from winning the group stage, i will get behind them just as much then as i would if i would if we reached a semi or a final.
You cant just turn passion for the game on & off when you feel like it.
Unless you're plastic of course.
You can't be watching the same france as us, how have they done since zidane retired
I don't turn my back on england, in the same respect i don't get my hopes up after reading some patriotic drivel in the sun, i make my own mind up based on the performances of the team which lets be honest have been woeful of late.
rovers95
Why didnt i spot that?
France?
Did you not see the last france - england game then?
I'l go into this tournament full have high hopes and yea probably heart ruling the head but I have done every other tournament. But if you haven't got that passion, you will never know the real highs and lows of being a real football fan.
Yea you talking about that tin pot friendly, Remember like you said you can't crumble on the big stage.
What crap, after watching england fail tournament after tournament you become a bit cynical, you don't need to be a flag waving sheep to be a real football fan.
Uncle,
France just about scraped a draw versus Bosnia and Herzegovina in their last game.
Can you imagine if that was England?
And that was only because of a last minute penalty.
France are not in the same bracket as Spain!
No way.
I'm talking about the embarassment where benzema and valbuena scored, england were shocking.
France are not in the same bracket as Spain!
No way.

No one is but they still totally outplayed england in the abovementioned match.
