Didn't realize that the match statistics were so onesided XD.

Basically England only scored in the single attempt that was on target, talk about effectiveness.

and another.... clean tackle by henderson and its a foul... this is becoming a disgrace now.

but he fouled before and the ref let the advantage run out, you might have heard of that rule

Don't you know? There's a conspiracy against England 

do you support england?  do you even like football?

I am ambivalent to both.

England fans overhype their chances every match/tournament that comes around and then claims ifs and buts when they go out int the 1/4 last 16,

Football players make me lose interest in football, WAY too much play acting and rolling around, acting like little kids when things don't go their way, GET ON WITH IT!!! 

So yes, I can live with or without both to be honest.

I don't mind being a fan of something but at the same time, I like being realistic.


which is why you dont get football, i could tell by  the tone of your comments...

its about passionate support of a team.

i'll know to ignore your football posts in future....

Then feel free to ignore this, People claim "passion" all the time in many walks of life but there's passion and blind passion.

Call me cynical or whatever but I'm confident England won't win the tournament, hell, I'll even go as far as to say they won't get out of their group but we'll see how Sweden and Ukraine.

they may not progress... and what sickens me is that you'd be happy about it...  you dont get that anywhere but England.

You have also shown there that you know nothing about the game...

Ukraine are an awful side, I mean truly awful....  Sweden are workmanlike at best... hard to beat possibly, but unlikely to cause too many problems these days.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA

Never said I was "happy" about it. I'm just saying be realistic.

yeah that's more how I perceived it.

@kowen

They had some good shoots from outside the box.

almost all (if not all) of those french shots were 20 yards out or more...  stats dont always tell the story of a football match

Oh I agree, most of those strikes were pretty poor, still, it tells you a lot on how much offensive they were in contrast to england (especially on the second half). Like I said, England was pretty effective and had Milner took that easy chance, it could have been 2 goals on 2 strikes on target.

whatever you say...


So, in summary: Anyone who says/does anything remotely against England is deemed to be conspiring against them? Okay...

I am. Ive just been hurt too many times. There is still two tricky games left so who knows. I have a bit more optimisim now.

A tie for England against the toughest team in the group, I think that is a fair result.

oh, I was quite entertained when france failed to make it out of their groups 2002 or 2010 :)

or if you mean within a country, well I actually know several germans who wish for germany to be eliminated early, as the local football craze can be slightly annoying aswell
