bollocks plenty of englund fans get shitty and all hurt and confused at the other nations not supporting them

Hurt and confused!? Nah. Indifferent.

 

[donkyboy]

Feel rough as fuck and really happy

Couldn't remember individual pennos so I've just watched them again. Henderson's apart, they were really great. Right lads for the job.

Henderson's penalty looked like he was trying to pass the ball to team mate

 

[Badgers]

Start another thread you pricks

 

[Steel Icarus]

Fuck it.

Hurt and confused!? Nah. Indifferent.

This thread suggests otherwise.

I suppose the good thing from this win would have been a reduced level of domestic violence last night.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

The thing that always strikes me about the ABE stuff on threads like this is how closely it reflects exactly the sort of England support it claims to oppose. It's based on fixed perceptions of attitudes (naturally all England fans assume England are entitled to win), borderline xenophobic (always ready with the implication the English are a bit German), disrespectful to other teams (you didn't thrash Albania!) and obviously humourless and relentlessly repetitive. And obsessed with England of course (you don't get it so much on the rugby threads where the teams are closer I don't think).

It's not the antithesis of a load of blokes chanting 'Eng-er-lund' for hours - it's more a reflection of it. And tbh those England fans aren't on here are they.

 

[Badgers]

yay

Just watching the highlights

Hendersons was a good pen! It's just the keeper matched it.

 

[extra dry]

slept through it. I saw the sweds and swiss game but I did not have the energy for 1am-3am. Happy England won, Southgate will be seen as a hero manager from now on.

Lord Southgate will be seen as a hero manager from now on.

that's how you think it's played out in colombia, one of the most violent societies on earth over the last 70 years?

good things / bad things about this run

Good :
people seem happier
the pubs are rocking again

Bad:
Someone left a poo filled pair of boxers outside the local pub overnight

[paulhackett]

Not all Colombians are happy with the ref

Just watching the highlights

If you spot England's 1 shot let us know what happened.

Anyone have any insight as to who or what is to blame for the lack of play making?

What is ABE? Just so I know what people are talking about.

As for lack of playmaking we don't have anyone in the middle of the park that can ping a pass out wide to open it up.

[tommers]

He's been there, done that.

The man is some kind of saint.

Southgate obviously, not Henderson.

 

[treefrog]

We've watched the pens about three times this evening I'm stoked tbh, haven't been this invested in the auld enemy winning since Euro 96 onward!

 

[treefrog]

Oh, and Gareth Southgate has matured like a fine wine

 

[sojourner]

I'm not a football lover, and started this WC glazing over every time the fella mentioned something about it, but I've been totally sucked in this time. Never shouted and clapped and cheered so much in me life haha That was almost unbearable to watch
