You can't blame the fans for such an awful national anthemYeah, hearing that certainly didn't help.
Let's all Laugh at England

Have you not read anything on here the last couple of weeks?!On football terms, has anybody else been unimpressed with England's all round game so far?
I feel like we're just a good team away from being knocked out but the draw had been unreal for England. Knocking out minnows whilst the big dogs tear chunks out of each other. I think Croatia would be 50 50 but England might end up in the final by default, playing football clearly inspired by LVG.
Very few shots from open play, danger from corners, happy to pass around at the back.
We don't play attractive football, but tactically we are very good. Teams will struggle to have any period of really dominance I feel.On football terms, has anybody else been unimpressed with England's all round game so far?

Reckon Set Piece FC will reach the end against a much superior Croatia team
that midfield of Croatia will run the show

We are England!

We are in the world cup semi finals despite having a easy route and not playing any decent teams etc etc we are still there. All you bitters with teams not even in the competition would be singing it loud and proud if you were in the same place.
Absolutely, just nothing but pure bitterness. It's really putting this whole United>England thing into context, I thought that and the whole "World champions twice" chant was just to wind up the West Ham fans but I'm even reading comments from English people who are United fans criticising the national team, don't get me wrong anything United achieve will always mean so much more to me but all this hating England stuff when you're English is just sad and pathetic.
We've got a decent/likeable crop now (Except for Alli and possibly Henderson)
Right on. Plus all in all England got there is a relatively non controversial way imho but some act like it's a freaking disgrace.
Reminds me of Fortnite @RedlambsOn football terms, has anybody else been unimpressed with England's all round game so far?

What's the problem? In 20 years no one will remember who you faced, just that you won the bloody thing.
Brilliant win! Love the boys playing for us. All of them are likeable.
That's exactly it
My GF got her first solo win on playstation the other day, 0 kills. Yep, zero. To be fair it was her bouncepad that blew him into the storm, but still. It's a win though and that's what counts
Niiiice. You've got a nice gamer family going.That's exactly it

Removed here from the UK media so; are the Wags there this time and is that a media focus?
Feckin hated when they were in past WCs.

You mean the same Croatia that scrapped past Denmark? Take your tinted glasses off mate. It’s also a bit arrogant they haven’t beaten Russia yet.
I'm English though.
By and large my country is a disappointment to me. Too full of nationalists and xenophobes. Our public gardens are being paved over. Our politicians are self obssessed.the soft c conservatives do their best to stop this country moving forward whilst failing to protect what's most important. We fail to stand up for human rights, free trade, free markets, the environment.
We don't exactly have the worst of the left and the right, but we no one tries to make this country better than it was yesterday. Too many that drop litter and not enough that pick it up. Too many that use tax evasion whilst blaming those on benefits and not enough that ask to pay more. We don't help our entrepreneurs. We keep our teachers poor. We let our elderly rot, we let our children take the burden of our lives.
And yet.
We're England. We stand for rules. For fair play. For freedom. We love life living. Were into the semi final
You get my vote!
don't bring this shit here, we are in the semis. A few more whooops is needed.
Expectations were so low going in that no one even bothered to do a joke song for it. We're stuck with recycling old comedians and old songs. So while we're having a sing-song:
You mean the same way United fans still hate a team that hasn't won a league title since 1990?
.
Explain that one
That’s the beauty of it though the media are trying their hardest to constantly make this about Kane.
Luckily there is still someone we can laugh for now, even if we can't laugh at England just yet.
One of our biggest, a lot would say definitely our biggest, rivals?
Yeah that's entirely the same thing.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Sorry I don't speak Spanish
Their football has been shite, they have plenty of underwhelming players and have played poor opposition but they’re in the semis of the WC so what can you say...
Personally I am very unimpressed. Obviously delighted to keep plugging along and progressing, much like I was in our Europa campaign, but I haven't been impressed. Putting bias aside, if I was a neutral there's not a single player I'd look at in this side and think "ooh he looks interesting" apart from maybe Maguire or Pickford (who I never particularly rated). Our matches always feel like two average teams not doing much, but if that wins us the cup who cares. It just doesn't fill me with confidence against France/Belgium (if we get there!)On football terms, has anybody else been unimpressed with England's all round game so far?

Remember when Atletico Madrid won La Liga through alot of set pieces in 2014? Well this England team play a hell of a lot like that.
Eres un muppet.
Some people find the English NT very unlikeable, the same way some English fans dislike other countries. I've seen a lot of talk here about 'the dirty South Americans' for instance and relevancy has nothing to do with it. You should just accept it, its part of the game
Any specific examples? The English team and the country as a while is made of players with different colors and various ethnicities.

You might have me confused with the other poster, I don't care about your view on the English NT or whether or not this talk you've seen of "dirty South Americans" is real.
I was merely pointing out how your analogy was wrong.
England have the most likeable team since Euro 1996, they have been very generous to the media and in Southgate we finally have someone we want to root for. Just see the Southgate memes after the Colombia match. I’m cheering on Henderson, and Alli and Kane even though I am Utd through and through. This is England, without any cliques and issues between clubs, everyone pulling in the same direction - it’s an absolute pleasure.
If anyone from another country disagrees, we don’t care, we are in the Semi-Finals and haven’t needed to revert to theatrics or cheating like many of our opponents have (Panama and Colombia are a disgrace).
We are all enjoying the WC, and long may it continue.

Ain’t no one laughing at you, but the way some English fans have behaved without anyone on this forum speaking up against it is extremely sad. Why?
Who? We've been taking pelters from every other nationality!
Pelters? Have you seen any international fan using physical violence against the English in Russia?
The fact that you of defend some English fans’ behaviour in Russia is incredible. ”Pelters”, feck me.
Because English nationalism is almost uniquely repulsive. What with the whole colonialism thing and all that.
I'm talking about on here, wind your neck in!
What, exactly, are you going on about? I've just googled world news and I see some skirmishes involving fans from various nations, but nothing really major. So please do enlighten us?
