Sissoko  

Watching him makes me think I can still make the grade  

[Meenzer 15519]

Oh great.

If England go out against the Germans, I'm pretty sure it won't ruin my enjoyment of this Euros. There've been some stonking games and England have been pretty boring bollocks.

The soundtrack to decades of England failures.

 

I'd rather listen to 90 mins of fake crowd noise again.

The fucking selfish bastards, they must know more people don't want them at games than do? At least this softens the fact that I'm going to miss the game. 

[Tom 14011]

Aye getting narrowly beat while those knackers play the great escape  

[Rayvin 5217]

Christ  

 

If we weren't going to lose to Germany before, we sure as fuck will now.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13863]

Aye, that sort of buffoonery will only agitate the Germans

[Isegrim 9772]

If only…

It's the ingerlund way.

[PaddockLad 17246]

Just getting ready for the match...obviously don't have a lot of England gear so I've had to be creative...

Look, you. This not rating your chances about playing England is twice as unnerving as it would be if you were confident. Pack it in.

Resounding victory it is.

Bloody arrogant Germans... this is exactly why we left the EU 

[Howay 12496]

I saw something that Southgate is considering playing a back 5 and still having Phillips and Rice paired, if that happens this will be a brutal watch.

Fiver defenders and two defensive midfielders but calling it 3-4-3. Smart.

[Dr Gloom 21915]

That is one boring lineup. All the creative midfielders on the bench. Hope it’s a tactical masterstroke but looks too conservative

this is england v germany in a knockout competition - we haven't won one of those in over half a century

So, if we do win it’ll be down to not being in the EU

This right here is a serious concern for me in supporting England. If by some bloody miracle we won the damn thing, we would never, ever hear the end of it from the leavers. It would instantly become the defining representation of how England can go it alone. "Plucky little England", "British bulldog spirit" etc etc

 

Although the team itself doesn't really personify that. They're professional but I'm not sure there's a lot of spirit there...

if England do win the tournament (don’t laugh) it would make a nice memory for my eldest, who’s football daft. Beyond that I would quite like to see them win tonight but I’m not too arsed either way. Not least because a massive section of the England fan base are absolute bellends

Fortunately we'll always have the limp defeat to Iceland immediately after the referendum, with Woy going on a boat trip instead of researching the opposition, as fate's real verdict on the matter.
