Quarter Final: Sweden - England

[wicked wizard]

Theres that English arrogance and ignorance we all know and hate

It's not arrogance if it's true.

 

[Harpsabu]

It's not arrogance if it's true.

Not even worth arguing with. Brexit voter for sure. Learn your countries shameful history and come back to me.

 

[Ed.]

We invented football like we did most things. That's why we are all speaking English on this forum. It's coming home and there's nothing you can do about it.

Lol. Most things are made in China.

*"Brexit voter for sure. Learn your countries shameful history" you dam right I am a Brexit voter should I ashamed of that? Like every other country has a squeaky clean history apart from England. We have done more good for the world than bad than all you mother fuckers. And we should feel guilty? Fuck that.

 

[ADRossi]

Cut it out guys.

 

[Bluenine]

Every country has parts of history they should not be proud of... its time to move past all that. As for people in the UK who voted for Brexit, there is nothing to be ashamed of, it was their democratic choice to vote the way they want. Of course it was a really stupid and self harming thing to do, but thats their fucking choice.

Stupidity should be empathised, not shamed. :work:

P.S.:

Damn sons, it doesn't help to look at England with so much pre-baked hate.

They aren't retarded, they know like any other that this will only be their fourth semi final ever and the first one in 28 friggin' years. When they say it's coming home that's more of a way to celebrate and emit proudness of their team. Just like anyone does really. If you think that's arrogance then any team/fanbase is arrogant. The Belgians have been convinced they will win the title since they defeated Panama, and much like England we've had our songs about becoming champions as well when we had our bronze/silver generations.

The thing is that this is rightfully deserved when your team actually performs well - which is now the case with England. Nice win, nice goals, good to see one coming from open play. Not easy against this Sweden, which had tactically felled multiple great teams already. Let England rightfully enjoy their well deserved semi final place and quit crying...

Sweden can also be proud of this achievement tbh. Our spot (and Italy's...) went to Sweden on goal difference and it's satisfying to see they've put it to good use. Among the best eight teams in the world is a result to celebrate and be proud of. I'd have taken it in an instant.

Bro I been hearing "it's coming home" since they beat Tunisia. The semi final being reached is not it. It's so annoying.

Have you seen the BBC released video about England winning the World Cup? They released it yesterday. Lol

I've been hearing it since the plane engines cooled off at Heathrow on the 25th of June 2014.

 

[Coasterfreek]

Too much politics... isn't that supposed to be a rule not to discuss it? I can go on a separate forum for that kind of talk. Yes I have my opinions too, but PM me if you really want those thoughts.

 

[YoramG]

Apart from obvious exceptions (wicked wizard), the whole 'It's coming home' mentality is mostly self-aware banter. Most of my mates who sing it at the top of their lungs after each game usually follow it up with something like 'yeah but Croatia will do us in'. I'm having a great time going to watch England games in this kind of atmosphere as everyone has a good time and it's just a good laugh. Plus it goes some way to fill the hole left by Italy failing to reach the finals since it gives me a reason to give a shit; the longer England are in it, the longer the party continues

Plus you know, it's coming home.

I have been hearing it since 1996

For England, this song has almost become a football anthem, like Solo Inter or Pazza Inter Amala are for us. For most people in England, this does not represent arrogance but hope.

 

[ElDuccio]

i like that song tbh. one of the best football songs ever

Its pretty much been said as a laugh here for this WC, and started before the tournament. I keep saying it, but people here should know i'm not serious or arragont at all, just trolling

 

[RichDAS]

I'm half English, and where I 100% support Italy in the World Cup, England is all I have in this tournament. That being said, the remarks I could just imagine of "We have the best league in the world AND national team." will be too much for me to handle.

Well am not exactly been serious. Am far far from one of those who think England are the best team in world the or anywhere near, I never have done.

What's your thoughts on Sterling this tournament? I've heard different opinions on him from England fans.

 

[wicked wizard]

I think he looks like one of our most dangerous players when he's on the ball, but has messed up on some really important moments. I think his pace is a really important weapon as well.

 

[Dylan]

Do you think Rashford could do the same without fucking up chances?
