England national team

[Rory]

I think our brave English boys deserve a thread of their own during international tournaments.

Not because I enjoy following the other matches thread until the very moment it comes to England.

It's certainly nothing to do with England fans being predominantly the collective thuggery of every club in the country combined with twats who know nothing about football but became aroused every two years when it's patriotism time.

No. I worship the four lions, get in, it's coming home etc. Our national heroes deserve a dedicated thread, and I will genuinely visit it regularly and praise our, erm, red roses of St George.

And so on.

(Please mods, PLEASE, make this a sticky so I can follow international tournaments without reading the thoughts of England fans. I beg you!)

From Soccer Guy on FB:

England Soccer Club open up their World Cup World Championship of the world championship with the W as they go kick CrowAsia’s multi-squared uniformed asses real good.

The Three Lines’ hopes of emulizing the boys from back in the summer of ‘69 were given a humongous boost when the Crowasians committed a felony so bad the referee gave tbe Hurrikane two death strikes. Too bad for his golden cleat hopes, the former Soccer Chicken could only go 1 from 2.

The British guys tried to tighten up on dee after their first insertion, but messed up when some guy let fly from downtown and found the SGI for the equalization.

It didn’t stay knotted at ones though, as a Vanilla Rice apex restart was head kicked home by the HurriKane.

Up on the bleachers the English guys were pretty pumped, singing a bunch of songs about how this time they sure were gonna go save that king this time, even though their plays could not go save his wife.

But, with the halftime show in sight, their deefense goofed around some more and the Crowasian’s had them a second equalization play and Tommy Touché was real pissed.

The Three Lines were way better at the start of the second quarter though, dominizing the offensive sector with real sweet kick passes until Real Salt Lake Madrid’s Dude Bellingham found the ballbag from a cute angle.
That how it stayed until after the commercial hydration break when Coach Touché dipped into the subshack, bringing on Demarcus Rashford and DJ Ed Spence.

With squeaky fanny time approaching, Rashford wrapped up the W when his sweet cleats in the DBZ sent some deefense guy to 7 eleven for soda and kicked the soccer ball real nice.

Well more than Nick Mashiter and Phil McNulty anyroad.

The sun is not yellow, it's chicken.

Bob Dylan said that. Probably to rhyme with is there a hole for me to be sick in.

That's just Bob, though.

Ah shit!

If only that were funny, it would almost be funny.

Why are the media blaming Konsa for defensive frailties? He did absolutely nothing wrong as far as I could see

[Rigadon]

It’s just not really all that enjoyable watching England is it? I’m not sure if I’d actually want this lot to win a World Cup.  The reaction to it would be sickly.

I said this to the Mrs last night, it's getting like the tennis in that the sport itself I'd like to watch, but the commentary and faces in the crowd make me want to put my foot through the telly.

Because they don't want to blame the Chelsea or Man City players.
