Poogash, Pikey and Rat boy were at their nauseating best last night on ITV.
Thank god for Ian Wright providing the voice of reason.
Poogash asked “How did Sterling miss that chance” which happened shortly before the equaliser. Ian Wright defended Raheem but the other two couldn’t wait to slate our man.
BBC for the final it is.

"England have qualified for their first final in 55 years. After the match Marcus Rashford tweeted..."

"Let the English party," the opinion piece was headlined. "They have nothing else, and rejoice instead that you have woken up in Denmark."

I can't disagree with these sentiments.

I can't disagree with these sentiments.

Really? "They have nothing else, and rejoice instead that you have woken up in Denmark."

Can you imagine how offensive that would look if Denmark had won and a newspaper here said the same about their country?

I can understand that it was probably written in the throes of disappointment/anger/despair, but it would be hugely offensive to write that about any country.

I dont know if that's the same headline if Henderson earns the penalty. Maybe. Probably not though right?

Fing Sterling. Not only cheating but doing it to a disabled player with only one leg. The whole incident looked much different from the other side but it's difficult to find a video from that angle.
I can't find one of the Magliar card incident either. It looked to me that he ran and jumped sideways with his left elbow leading at an angle 90% to his torso. Some on here say it wasn't a foul nor even a yellow card. So l would like to see it again because it was a red card if does show what l thought.
Whatever, now we are in the final the media having built us up will now knock us down.
And who better to start on than Raheem Sterling?

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

On TalkSport it seems to be all about Sterling and Kane diving rather than the fact England made it to the final. Saying that, it’s being presented by a Scotsman who has to be controversial to keep the listeners engaged, even if in anger.

Good to see Townsend sticking up for the guys though.

You need to wake up mate, the world thinks we're a fucked up country led by a buffoon.

We're engaging in a mass exercise of self harm and you don't need to be Danish to see it.

But you do need to have your eyes open.

Denmark is one of the best countries in the world to live in.
I'm glad England won but I think the hype surrounding it all is totally out of proportion partly because everything else here is so shit at the moment. It shouldn't be seen as such a huge achievement.

Do you read the headlines of the Daily Mail/Express/Daily Star/*** ***


They've published worse xenophobic headlines/articles and will continue to do so. If Italy win thanks to a dodgy decision those comments in a Danish paper, no doubt posted to trigger the little Englanders will look mild In comparison.

It's a cultural trait of little Englanders who still live in the 1700s when Britain ruled the ruled the world and everyone knew their place in it.


It's a semi final win which is being treated like England have won the world cup. Getting sick of BBC News spending most of the hour taking about it and bigging them up.
