Reading delusional salt like this makes victory yesterday all the more gratifying.I just laughed at England in the last match because most of them (including the English press) loathe Neymar because of his divings, but they quivered with pure joy when their players made to the quarter after horrible English players' acting. It was like watching 11 Neymars wearing the English jersey, except for the fact no one of them come close to him in terms of skills. By the way, they acted worse too.
I'm still a bit angry about the match. Colombia were shameful.
Actually I don't really care whether England made to the quarter or not. Colombia or England? Both of them could've been there and that's fine for me. My point here is it's funny to see how people change their mind easily and apply double standards when people wear different jersey.
Please take that back. I may be cringey but I'm certainly not sensible.
If you're Brazilian, how could you support what you saw from Colombia yesterday? It reminds me of the quarters of world cup 2014 when Colombia targeted Neymar all match (because they couldn't match Brazil on the pitch) and ended up injuring him. He missed the next match against Germany and we all know what happened then.Actually I don't really care whether England made to the quarter or not. Colombia or England? Both of them could've been there and that's fine for me. My point here is it's funny to see how people change their mind easily and apply double standards when people wear different jersey.
Correct, there is nothing to do with Nationality. In fact, even when someone is supporting England (relatively speaking), one cannot stand the arrogance of English fans/press that the WC is WON as soon as group stage is cleared. There is Last 16, QF, then Semi. Only when you reach Semi that you can start dreaming.
Thanks for trying to lay down your set of rules for how other people should behave and feel, but we'll kindly decline them. We can dream whenever we like, thank you very much.
It's coming home, mate.
To be honest, I dislike what I saw from Colombia and England yesterday. English players were also trying to cheat with faking divings, acting a lot on the pitch like Henderson did simulating being hit on the head by Barrios (clearly overracting there)... exactly what Neymar has done in this tournament and is hated for it. Don't get me wrong: I don't approve of all this Neymar's acting and he is very criticized even among many Brazilian fans because of it. But I don't think it's fair when people only point out Neymar's faults and just ignore when other players do the same, especially if they play for their national team. That's why I'd like to draw the attention.
Says fecking who? We hardly ever clear the group stage! Show me the rulebook of when you can do certain things without being labelled arrogant.
Don't know why you're acting like a dick, when it's literally come out since that he'd have been in Dier's spot.
Quote one person who made that claim, just one. It could be someone in the media or on this forum. Prove to us you're not a donut.
What the hell have England ever done for anyone to be bitter about it. We love watching England fail because the meltdowns are super fun, especially after all the hype that is created before every tournament. Same as Liverpool every season ever really.
He's pro South American and 5 of the last 6 World Cup finalists have been European, the past 3 winners European and 6/8 of the quarter finalists are European (if you count Russia as European).
Where was the hype before the tournament? You mean excitement for the world cup which every nation has who is taking part?
We've very carefully cultivated our laughing stock status, it's taken planning and no small amount of skill to find new ways to embarrass ourselves in front of everybody
Kane bags a hat trick of penalties vs Tunisia or whatever it was and the social media is flooded with cries of it's coming home. Let's not pretend that you lot aren't premature and get ahead of yourselves as per the usual.We've very carefully cultivated our laughing stock status, it's taken planning and no small amount of skill to find new ways to embarrass ourselves in front of everybody
However where was the big hype and expectation before this tournament? I didn't see anyone whatsoever bigging us up.
England have won the World Cup. Liverpool are one of the most successful sides in the history of European football. Yes, both sides have fallen off since and do provide comedic moments. That said, the hype and arrogance thing is completely overplayed. Listen to the England team anthem '3 Lions', its satirises England's hapless fortunes since 66.

Oh yeah. Shit loads of hype before the tournament. Is there some secret media outlet I don't know about?
He can be as biased as he likes. But it’s pretty clear why neutrals who have no skin in the game - who have no choice but to watch the same coverage - might roll their eyes from time to time when listening to the commentary.
Yes it is, therefore the 'i support england but the thought of cheering player X' is so hypocritical .
As I posted yesterday that account is absolutely fecking appalling and shouldn't be given the time of day on here or anywhere.
Scottish neutrals in an football match involving England must be in the minority, unless the Scottish people have changed immeasurably since I lived there 15 years ago.
What about the commentary?
If it really bothers you then stream it. Get an IPTV subscription and you can watch many different versions of the broadcast.
So is he Scottish or Irish? I can't tell.
He's Derry.
I haven't conflated it with any narrative.
They hate those even Scots even more, thats were where the Unionists in NI descended from.
Yes, that's my point. That's literally what I was saying.
Well i went to see united for the first time in 1976 and have supported them to this day. With England i don't care who wears the shirt, whi scores the goals or who gets all the praise. I just hope they do well. What i read on here seems to be unique to English people.
Calm down, i was only having a laugh.
This whole England not going out early in shame and ignominy thing isn't good for the health of the caf, we're like rats in a sack.I wasn't really accusing you of doing so. Just that I found your problem with the commentary a bit weak and then I went of on the broader point. I think you a very objective poster Probably one of the most objective on the site. You have a much better memory than me on past games too.
