Who gives a f*ck ? Seriously why does that matter ?
It’s how you progress and where you get. A young bunch of lads which had ‘no hope’ of getting anywhere near the final, written off that we wouldn’t even get out our group got to a semi final of a World Cup. The nation lapped it up and rightly so, pubs, bars up and down the land celebrating - yet the moaners behind the keyboards stayed silent, they must of been so relived we got knocked out and didn’t make the final.

It doesn’t matter that we cannot beat any decent team? It doesn’t matter that we only win and often lose to teams below us? Really? You literally know nothing about football and how to progress. It takes a staggering level of ineptitude to never beat anyone better than you. To not even fluke it once in a while.

You literally know nothing about how to show support to your country. No solutions, just to drop ‘rag’ players and all will be fine and dandy.

The rags players were nowhere near as bad as the TH players that's my point. Just bad judgement or who they play for ? So it's not just having a downer on rags or the manager the whole setup from top to bottom is shoddy and stinks of old boys network
 
When you consider how many hundreds of countries compete and enter for the World Cup then getting to the last 4 is an achievement
Even West Ham could beat the majority of them, so what's your point?

Watching England is like watching the rags on a bad day and so predictable; try and play football from the back, then if that doesn't work hoof it forward for St Harry to stroll forward at no pace at all to shoot. Play percentage football as taught by dinosaurs such as Allerdici, Pulis, Wanker, etc, or play for set pieces so that the big lads can use their heads.

In my 59 years of going to watch City, I've seen it all, from Trautmann to Ederson, and every good or shit tactic used. I've said this many times before on here that I've watched City through thick, thin, thinner AND Stuart Pearce, and still go. Why? Because they're the team I support, all play in blue. If they play for their country, whichever it is, it's because they're good enough. Most national sides generally have their best players in the team, but, for reasons I've mentioned before, England don't. For the FA, it's all about how much they can make , hence the selections made on marketability.

You have told us that "You meant to support your club/country no mater if there sh*t or not", and I ask you "why"? They're not MY team and they don't represent ME; they represent all that is wrong in our game, and for that reason, I wouldn't open my curtains to watch them.. They're irrelevant.

Agreed. When I hear Southgate coming out and saying 'Arry of 'Aringey is the best in the world, and all of a sudden Luke Shaw gets a berth I think that summat's up!
 
I'm English, I want England to do well, but I'm not deluded enough to get carried away with the performance at the World Cup. Who did we beat that was any good? How did we fair when we came up against decent opposition? This isn't hate, it's being objective. Southgate's brave new world is an illusion and I'm not falling for the hype.

no one is saying we are going to win the euros are we ? and most expected spain, belguim to beat us. i dont think theres anything wrong either with getting a little bit carried away at reaching a world cup semi final - not done in decades. does it matter who we beat really ?i mean we can't help who we got drawn against either.

we have a pretty decent side with plenty of potential.
 
What credentials did Joachim Low have when he won the World Cup with Germany ?
Southgate was not my preferred choice by any means, but he came in , bought through a very young bunch of lads and got us to a World Cup semi final - we aren’t anywhere near level of Brazil, Spain etc so he and the squad deserves a lot of credit for that. Just dont get the constant hate against the manager, certain players etc - would rather some admit they will always hate England and never give them credit because they have a irrational hatred of there own country when it comes to football.
Low’s credentials didn’t improve relegating anyone did they? Given he had more talent less of a risk to appoint. It’s not hard to just pick young players anyone can do that and pretend they’re being brave. Facts are he’s lost every match he’s played against a decent side. It’s not hatred he’s just not very good. He’s also shit scared of dropping/subbing certain players for fear of the media. I.e Kane and Alli. You’re right about our lack of talent but it’s his lack of ability tactically that makes matters worse. I loved watching england as a kid. Italia 90 was brilliant imo. Don’t suggest/confuse me not rating Southgate with not loving my national team

how on earth do they represent all that is wrong with our game ???? loads of young players, quite a few of which have come through the lower leagues as well. if anything it was probably the most representative england side in years. applying your logic how do city represent you ? bunch of multi millionaires, with barely connection at all to manchester or the fans. ( not saying all of them)

most of the country supports england and gets behind them. for example manchester when we played sweden and croatia - I've never seen it as busy.
if they are that irrelevant why are you posting on here about them ??.

Didn't we beat Germany 3-2 in Berlin?

Kane, Vardy and Dier scored.

Two of them are still in the squad and the other one has only recently retired.

Yet you logged on to this thread just to tell us how little you care.

'I must let the internet know my opinion.'

Don't bother.
