I was cheering for Croatia for one reason: my hatred for the 'it's coming home' bullshit. You'd think England would have learned by now that you don't print the t shirts or the mugs or put up the billboards or make the wanky tv ads until the captain is holding up the trophy.
Pretty sure it was ironic. General feeling i got was this was a pleasant surprise for the english, a team they liked, doing well. Seems they were just proud for once

For the winning goal, Stones switched off. Wonder if the notably forgiving UK media will go to town with it.
Eng getting 5th minute goal stuffed them up really. They lapsed into fap around mode too easily
Thought they played great in the first half. Kane had a sharp chance and if he'd managed to score 2-0 would have been good. Second half they seemed to lose steam, sat back and Croatia had heaps of time on the ball with little or no threat of being punished on the counter. Agree with everyone else that England has no playmaking midfielder, they haven't had a really good one since Gazza. The problem is that all of the best playmakers in the Prem are not English. Guys like Lingard, Sterling and others look great playing alongside world talents but look a little more ordinary when not

@KiwiMurph Kane was really disappointing. This was the game he needed to step and finish some chances, but as you say he played way too deep and was basically anonymous the whole match.
It seems to be Southgate's plan to have him play deep, this is not the first game it's been done. The trouble is, England need him up front

Fuck them.
The amount of Celts I've seen getting on the English bandwagon is nothing short of sickening not to mention all that 'coming home' shit. What a pack of dicks, celebrating that sort of crap while there's still two fucken games to play is a recipe for disaster so I'm glad it came back to fuck them in the arse.

Miserable bastard.
It’s been a fantastic bandwagon to be on, possibly the best one I’ve been on since 2002 World Cup.
Loved every minute of it. It doesn’t capture my inner soul like the craps or the blacks, but it’s been bloody fantastic to be a part of.

I was on the Nigerian bandwagon for awhile but that didn't pan out too well.

I hope it turns up soon. I've put a deposit down for an island getaway for every ferner on here. Should be a blast.
Unlimited piss, drugs and hookers all on me. You'll all get a PM invitation shortly. I'm gonna look a bit silly if this doesn't come off.
