Earlier in the tournament they also brought out a t-shirt mocking Germany for being knocked out. I love how all these people are still trolling Germany with 1966 and being knocked out early this time, while German people just laugh at that and point out that since 1966 they won 3 World Cups & 3 European championships, with one of the latter actually happening in England.

Scary Bear Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Folk slagging off Harry Kane are really clutching at straws.Even if England get knocked out next game, Harry Kane will still be a key player for Spurs and England. He has a great scoring record. Saying otherwise is just embarrassing.I can only imagine the madness in this thread if England somehow win the World Cup.

Ex Machina Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Really hope Sweden pump them. It's a nightmare living in London right now, I can't stand the level of arrogance they're showing, everyone at work has already decided they've won the tournament. You can't walk down a street without hearing "It's coming home" and some c**t a couple of streets away from mine let off fireworks when they beat Colombia. Absolute c***s.

Reminds me of a time a County fan on here was trying to troll Caley fans buy posting a picture of them lifting the 2011 Challenge Cup. A cup Caley were too good to play in at the time.

TheScarf Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Kane is a fantastic finisher. Of that there can be zero debate. Give him a chance and you'd back him to score every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I see John Stones went off on one about Colombia being "the dirtiest team he's ever played against", saying there could have been multiple red cards. While there's no doubt that Colombia were absolute shithouses, this point may have came across as less ridiculous had it been made someone who didn't get away with a blatant red card offence having raked his studs over someone's head.

World class are folk like Lewandowski, Griezmann, Modric and so forth. There's simply no point in using them as a yardstick as there may never be another two in their stratosphere.

I see a lot are fuming that they are having Pride this weekend in Trafalgar Square and not putting up screens to watch the game. Luckily I am heading North this weekend so won't have to deal with it too much if they do win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cameroonians tried to claim that in 1990 if I remember correctly. England are on rankings the favourites to reach the finals. Fair fucks to them. My gripe is watching coverage with presenters from another country/ part of Great Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you that raging about this kind of stuff when pubs are offering free pints if Scotland win games? Again, there's plenty of things you can complain about when it comes to them getting carried away without resorting to stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of folk in this thread have said that. It's not only wrong, it's stupid. A single example is the deeper role he took up in the second half on Tuesday. He's a much harder worker and more versatile player than Kris Boyd. Plus he's actually done something for his country and has scored in big games (such as against Real Madrid). He could sell loads more mattresses that Boyd ever could as well. Everyone, please stop with the Kris Boyd stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
