There's some Welsh guy in another thread wishing us well. He alone makes this statement fact.
Let's all Laugh at England

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I think you’ve missed the point - far too often the England team have had players that don’t appear to be bothered about playing for England and certainty haven’t played for the team - that has meant that many English fans weren’t really behind the team. Now all English fans are behind the team, the whole country is behind them - what neutrals do doesn’t matter.Superstars and "douchebags" is exactly what makes a team interesting. I supported England against Sweden (cause Sweden is even duller) but I'll be firmly in the Croatia camp for the semi-final for that reason.
I imagine plenty of England fans now take pleasure in the other home nations failures too now.
I know I do.
Now?! This is the first time you’ve realised that Irish/Scottish/Welsh football fans generally want England to fail? Wow.
I didn't realise just how fecking bitter you all were no. Well I knew Scotland did but not the others. We don't really tend to spend much time thinking about Wales or Scotland etc. Silly of me really.
The video of the Welsh players celebrating England getting knocked out by Iceland was the thing that finally made me realise.
Since then stuff like Ireland getting stuffed 5-1 at home in the playoffs have been a great laugh.

I actually don't. It's always nice to see the plucky little fellas pop up and get all giddy every now and then about playing with the big boys.
When they are where they belong, in the swamps of the shire or whatever it is, it's a bit boring.
We don’t pay attention to you believe or not. I only realised the intensity of Scotland’s hate of the England team by living there. It was an eye opener. Scotland opened a World Cup tournament against someone some years back and I even supported them in that game!
So Welsh players celebrating an England defeat made you find Ireland losing a great laugh?
Awesome. That post, right there, is a beautiful example of why we should all continue to despise the England football team and everything it stands for.
P.S. Wales and Ireland are not the same country. Just for the record, like.
Meh, might as well be.So Welsh players celebrating an England defeat made you find Ireland losing a great laugh?

I didn't say that. I said the Welsh players celebrating us losing was what made me realise how hated we are. When even the fecking Welsh are cheering our failures you know you're hated.So Welsh players celebrating an England defeat made you find Ireland losing a great laugh?

And aye you might as well be the same, both shite.
Boom! And another. You’re making this too easy.
Why would realising that Welsh fans hate you make you pleased about Ireland losing a game of football?
Because if even the Welsh hate us, then incredibly bitter fans like yourselves and the Scottish must really fecking loathe us.
As you're showing in here.
It's true though. No one really gives a feck about the difference, you are just noisy little neighbours who pipe up every now and then but mean nothing to the grand scheme of things.
Of course I kid, too mean though?
Hate us all you want, we're in the World Cup semi-finals while you're sitting at home all bitter shitting yourself at the prospect that we'll actually win it.
Tbf I laughed enough at England losing to Iceland alone for any schadenfreude returned in our direction to be entirely justified.
I even listened back to some reaction to the game during the week, just because:
Watching England lose might genuinely never be that funny again.

Hehe. England fans in this thread doing a brilliant job of proving why their team is so hated. Which is impressive considering a lot of neutrals had softened their stance this tournament.
What makes it especially pathetic by those proud and honest welshmen celebrating England getting knocked out of a major international tournament, is that virtually none of them were welsh.
I know. But I'm a neutral so I have other criteria for supporting teams.
I imagine many neutrals still are okay with this new England team.
Incredibly bitter Irish fans won't be but then they were never neutral anyway.
I was definitely neutral. Have been all tournament. In fact I’ve actively been rooting for Southgate and his team. So more than neutral really.
When England fans start considering Wales and Ireland as interchangeable it gets kind of tricky to put aside the whole history of England being evil colonial wankers. And that, right there, is something that Ireland, Wales and Scotland do have in common
You said earlier you heard the English national anthem being sang passionately during todays game and immediately wanted us to lose.
So it's got nothing to do with us considering you interchangeable.
They are interchangeable though. I don't see why that's such a big issue to be honest.
One drinks dirty swamp water, another eats rancid guts in a skin and the last one has a penchant for sheep. But all in all, it's much of a muchness really.

You considering us interchangeable is the perfect illustration of why those sunburnt cnuts singing God Save the Queen made it hard to continue supporting your team. Saved me having to give any further explanation.

cnuts for singing the anthem? fecking hell.
Well I think England fans will survive without your support so it's all fine. We can get back to trying to win a semi final in the World Cup and you get back to hoping we lose after your country failed to qualify. Again.
Why did the singing of a national anthem bother you so much, if you don't mind me asking?
Honestly. I appreciate the help in making everyone despise English pricks but you’re making it too easy. I got this. Thanks.You would get it, but you'd need a stool to reach it.
I know being the little angry man is what you guys do, but chill, it's just football! (Although I get you don't really do that either, so maybe I'm just accidentally rubbing it in
)I have a lot of close Irish friends and I always vociferously cheer Ireland in sport. Same with Wales. I wanted to see them win the Euros when England went out. And even after seeing that Iceland video (Welsh passionately celebrating England's demise) I was disappointed that they didn't make it to the world cup. I also tend to root for Scotland, when applicable.
The exception to above is the 6 nations of course.
I understand why it wouldn't work both ways. But no matter how many times I've had "feck the english" yelled at me in a pub, I don't mind. It doesn't change my perspective. That said, some posters are really not covering themselves in glory.

Remember lads it's arrogant to be happy that your national side is doing well.
You're embarrassing yourself.
Exactly, let the little'uns have their fun. It's meaningless to us.
Of course I'm joking around with Pogue. Not sure about this Djemba fella though haha.
And you guys all have Austin Powers teeth right?
I wish. Mine are wooden!
Seriously dude. The exact opposite is happening here. You’re usually on the money with your comments about football so it’s weird how you just don’t get this. Surely you’re aware of England’s colonial past and the reasons why people from Ireland might find jingoistic English nationalism makes us a little queasy? Throw in a dash of “sure they’re all the same, those countries that aren’t England” and I’m honestly staggered at how badly you’re missing the point here.
If anyone in here is serious, then they are embarrassing themselves
Mission accomplished for england. Reaching a world cup semi final is better than i ever dreamed. Its all a bonus from here.
I have a feeling its coming home
Of course. Those of us who still have teeth model them from the Great Book of
Because our "unique" brand of nationalism is repulsive apparently in part due to our history. Not like the Irish, they're all cuddles and rainbows.
