Will we ever live to see the day when England fans in this forum could finally start a 'let's all laugh' thread on the anti-England brigade?
It will probably come long before England fans understand why everybody finds them losing funny.

I’m living in Ireland man. Went out to watch it and the celebrations were insane here. It’s actually not healthy-and we’ll all be supporting United and heading over to England again in the next few weeks.
I’m sure that’s just you joking around.

The Irish are great craic and definitely not that obsessive about England. Aren’t they?!

So you did bail when you lot got sent home then?! Good to see you back! Who are you supporting now?
What does bail even mean in this context? Do users owe anyone their posts? Especially when it's time for the low iq knee jerk takes? But having said that if I remember correctly I posted towards the end of the Costa Rica game, so I don't even know what you people are on about. Is the other guy a good guy, because he turns his angry nationalism to redcafe?

That hurt that. Didn't deserve to lose and thought kane would Bury that stone wall penalty. Even a player of his quality cannot ignore the weight of a nation on his shoulders

I think Declan Rice is a problem. Look at Tchouameni [I’m sure I’ve butchered the spelling] & even someone like Casemiro. They offer so much more consistently.

Every now & then Rice will go on a Gerrard-esque foray then lose his head once it comes to the shot or pass but he’s generally rather one dimensional.

Ideally you sacrifice a Henderson, get more from Rice allowing Bellingham to still have elements of freedom to his play & I’d get Foden in there as he’s proven he’s not a winger for England.

Rice needs to step up his in possession contribution if England are to win anything.
Agreed he doesn’t offer as much
Ideally in that role you have a play maker like modric but we don’t have that

and he wasn’t the reason we went out, bad ref calls and not taking our chances

As I said earlier, I have laughed at England a lot. It used to be funny. Their media can be and was really annoying especially during late 2000's to mid 2010's. But I really don't see the humor in it anymore. This team is a pretty down to earth and likeable one. The English fans in general are more pessimistic than they should be. They have a team full of exciting talent who give it their all.

And again, I would get laughing at England if this was some banana slip loss to a smaller side or penalties where they miss every penalty they get but they just played an incredible game against France. It went till the last minute and I thought they were the better side.

But then again these things can be irrational. I know I'm gonna be laughing my ass off in the Argentina thread if they lose!

If we lose an 8th Quarter final can we combine all of the ¼ to make it 2 finals?

It isn’t about football though. They hate England. It doesn’t matter how well we do. That’s all they have.

What? :lol:

You’re a German Dortmund fan who logs on to an English clubs forum to troll about United and England regularly. You don’t like England or United and will defend anything related to the Bundesliga or your country.

Don’t be surprised people call you out when you vanish when things don’t go your way yet reappear when you get the chance to troll again.

Banter is great but you should be able to give it as well as take it.

Why don't you file a complaint then.



You're trying to analyze people in a "let's laugh"-thread, stalking post histories, so please tell me more about "being able to take it".

As soon as we play someone decent we lose. Said it before and I'll say it again, we'll never win anything with Southgate. I'm just glad United players got home injury free, that's a victory imo.

You never won anything without Southgate, what has remained consistent however is immediately blaming managers for failing to deliver some apparently predestined trophy. Maybe, just maybe the English players while very good aren't quite on the level that the media have hyped them to be.

Don’t get the relevance of the photo?

I’m not too fussed. I think most regulars know you’re a troll tbh. It’s been discussed enough in the mod forum.

England played better tonight than they did in the final vs Italy and the SF vs Croatia.

Actually a little sad that I cried my eyes out in 96 and 98 when England went out, to now being gleeful when they go out.

@TheReligion I think you need to review most/all of your posts in the Chelsea threads before you make any comments about other posters being classless. And this is coming from someone who's gutted about tonight. Pot kettle mate.

This, amongst other reasons, is why it remains funny.

To be fair, allowing Germans to be in a "let's laugh..." at just about anything thread is an oxymoronic paradox that is bordering on cataclysmic

(Hopefully living up to the thread title plus English language)

For a moment there I was concerned I would wind up having to support England in a final with Argentina despite wanting Argentina to win it.

Good stuff.

Argentina, Morocco, Croatia in that order. Not France. Easy peasy.

Lost a lot of respect for Mbappe after that but I guess everyone knows he’s very entitled given his antics at PSG.

Very likely nerves anyway as he knew they’d got away with one and he’d done absolutely nothing all game.
Lost respect for him? What did he do wrong?

Celebrated following the missed penalty. Would every England player not have reacted in a similar fashion?

Apart from winning penalties, England didn't do much all game either.

Actually way better. This is probably the best performance against a big nation in a competitive match since France in 2004...England lost that game 2-1 as well but were by far the superior team that day. Weird parallel actually as Becks missed a pen and France were pretty much bossed. Zidane won it for them.

It came at England's expense though, so it's entirely different.
