best wishesI can’t post on the general forum and since I posted my message earlier on here it’s probably the best place to put it. I’m sorry for worrying anyone with my earlier post. I was and still am in a way in a desperate place. I had nobody to talk to so reached out on here. I have been in contact with the police and my family are with me. I’m going to get the help I need. If it wasn’t for the people on here who reached out things may have ended differently. Thank you.
When I say "naive", it's more about game management, and about winning the "moments", which France did. England may have dominated large parts of the second half, but they didn't have that much to show for it.I don't even think that they were naive. If England wins there is nothing to complain about, they played well enough.
That's true, your point makes sense.When I say "naive", it's more about game management, and about winning the "moments", which France did. England may have dominated large parts of the second half, but they didn't have that much to show for it.
Also, they lack "ce petit peu de vice" which is often the difference between good teams and great ones - which this crop of French nationals clearly are. They make the right fouls at the right moments, without being shithouses, and manage the game well.
Argentina has its fair share of scumbag journalists to be fair.But how many other countries press do you or I see? You can speak to france and I can't, but I'm taking a pretty good guess that most have their rags like the scum and mail.
Good on you mate. You're not aloneI can’t post on the general forum and since I posted my message earlier on here it’s probably the best place to put it.

And people wonder why this thread was createdAbsolutely deluded they beat Iran,Wales and Senegal and were outplayed by USA before losing to the first decent team they played who were missing important players

Nah.It’s called passion. You hate the footballer( usually because of the team) not the actual person. I have an hatred for Harry Kane but if he joined Utd I would probably love him. Loving a person you don’t know is a bit weird too. Football brings out weird emotions. Doesn’t mean you are some sort of sociopath so get off your moral high ground
Personally I think going for the win would have just allowed Mbappe and Griezmann to pick us off, and then the same people would be saying how tactically naive Southgate was.Absolutely deluded they beat Iran,Wales and Senegal and were outplayed by USA before losing to the first decent team they played who were missing important players

I don't think people literally mean they hate a football when say it (or at least I like to hope they don't).Nah.
I never understood how someone can hate a bloke for doing his job, which actually is kicking a ball. Dislike, yes, but hatred? What's wrong with you people?
Hate is definitely excessive, certainly with how bland and inoffensive most players are in the modern game. I do harbour a strong disliking for select people like Gerrard, however.Nah.

I think the problem is because the UK has 4 home nations. Other countries have totally biased media but no one else cares.I really don't mind piss taking. It's part of the sport. One thing I do think opposition fans get wrong, though is when they harp on about the state of english media. As if, it's some special english trait!
All countries media is one eyed and jingoistic! It's stupid, but it's the nature of the beast.
So you're keeping tabs on the media of how many different countries?I really don't mind piss taking. It's part of the sport. One thing I do think opposition fans get wrong, though is when they harp on about the state of english media. As if, it's some special english trait!

Dictionary definition of hate - feel intense dislike for .Nah.

Wont deny it. Our whole family, even the wife absolutely pissed ourselves at him.
Key word right there. There's a reason why there's two different words to describe two different feelings.Dictionary definition of hate - feel intense dislike for .
Potato Potato
Its just a bit of banter and you are making out like I am mentally disturbed or something. Chill out
I don't. It's called common sense, though.So you're keeping tabs on the media of how many different countries?
Ok Professor SnowflakeKey word right there. There's a reason why there's two different words to describe two different feelings.
I agree with this. The 4 nations as one makes us unique in sport. As you say, england are by far the largest audience out of the 4 home nations, and because of this they are the only chance of ever winning a WC or Euro. So, it's understandable about why it happens, at least.I think the problem is because the UK has 4 home nations. Other countries have totally biased media but no one else cares.
Our problem is the bias is all England so the rest of us sit stewing.
I get that England is by far the largest but when the tournaments come around, the other nations barely get a look in even when they qualify. I listen to Talksport when working and Wales barely got a mention. Even when they do, its usually some condescending piss take by Simon Jordan etc. Was the same at the Euros with Scotland.
I totally understand that English fans don't get our frustration, In Scotland, its the same with non Rangers and Celtic fans but that is why we blame the media.
Haha. Try about 2 yearsI agree with this. The 4 nations as one makes us unique in sport. As you say, england are by far the largest audience out of the 4 home nations, and because of this they are the only chance of ever winning a WC or Euro. So, it's understandable about why it happens, at least.
If england ever do win anything you'll have to turn the telly off for a week!
Thesaurus.Is the dictionary out again?
but what if they have a real arsehole face? Like Suarez….is it ok if we hate arsehole face Suarez? I mean it helps that he is a scumbag…but his face does it for me.Nah.

Yes his face is one you like to punch. Great player thoughbut what if they have a real arsehole face? Like Suarez….is it ok if we hate arsehole face Suarez? I mean it helps that he is a scumbag…but his face does it for me.
Even if Harry scores you still probably lose; it’s a bit like Henri and ireland. Getting level is great, but…We lost because Harry missed a penalty, that can happen to anyone. Think there has been real progress with this side, he has brought in a lot of young players that will be the basis of England's side for years. There is no disgrace losing to the World Champions. Also we behaved we some dignity not like foul mouthed idiots moaning about referees when we would have been justified.
You think it's common sense that media is the same everywhere? Like it couldn't be (heavily) affected by national history and culture?I don't. It's called common sense, though.
Faces are really important.but what if they have a real arsehole face? Like Suarez….is it ok if we hate arsehole face Suarez? I mean it helps that he is a scumbag…but his face does it for me.
Hmmm, dunno, I think they had a better bench than France. If it went to extra time they could have shaded it.Even if Harry scores you still probably lose; it’s a bit like Henri and ireland. Getting level is great, but…
Suarez doesn't have an arsehole face, he's just an unlikable areshole who bites off more than he can chewbut what if they have a real arsehole face? Like Suarez….is it ok if we hate arsehole face Suarez? I mean it helps that he is a scumbag…but his face does it for me.
Shame manager is found wanting yet again,just like he was against CROATIA and ITALY as well.Hmmm, dunno, I think they had a better bench than France. If it went to extra time they could have shaded it.
