I think these are the top picks from people around the world:

1- Croatia is the underdog

2- Croatia never won a World Cup before

3- English fans’ overall behavior throughout time

4- People think 66 was a steal

5- It’s fun to see English fans reactions to losses

I think that’s about it. There are probably more reasons, but these are the ones I observed the most recently.

1. England is the underdog, and their fans are only too happy to acknowledge this.

2. Neither have Belgium, but people are going for France.

3. English fans behaviour? Have you seen the Croatian fans? The level of racism they show is pretty alarming. Swastika flare shows, etc.

4. 66 was a steal, at least they didn't cheat / bribe it. Check prior wins for Italy, etc.

5. Why is it fun to see England fans lose over any other nation?

Good puns, but I don't see it.

Not exactly sure how England are the underdogs when all English media/fans are rejoicing at how easy their path to the final is. 

The thing is, you then see those same people claiming that England deserves to be in the semi-final because they beat Sweden.

England thinks it's a football powerhouse when the only reason their players all play in the premier league is because no other international league wants them.

Not saying they don't deserve it, by all means it will be great to see them win but other teams deserve it just as much if not more.
