England at the World Cup 2018

I feel like noone has given any consideration at all to what would happen if football genuinely did come home.

No matter how big an INGURLAND you might be willing to give, if football actually turned up at yours, e.g. because it had just got parole and you were the only one that hadn't moved house while it was 'away', you would one hundred percent be hiding in the hallway pretending you weren't in.

I'd answer in stern posh tones and it would doff it's cap and look nervously sideways.
 
And of course, that’s really saying something isn’t it?
it is. The level of associated tat that intrudes on real life like football themed cans of coke and all? I was not seeing any of that state and commercial invested expectation marketing

Erm, that kinda proves my point? In that “this is the most unhyped” etc is saying...not a lot.
 
if you mean the usual hyping is so over the top it makes this more modest hype unremarkable then yes. And thats why it will be a better win, should it happen. Because nobody was begging for it.

Yes that’s what I’m saying. Now go listen to Radio5Dead from 7.30 until 10.00 on Monday morning.

And what are these beatable teams you unhypedly speak of?
 
Well at least you know the days of the week dot.

(Wtf? Thought better of you than this)

I admit my analysis of football might not be as sophisticated as my analysis of modernity and class. But am I wrong? Its two more games, and all the big teams fell by the wayside, there is credible oppositions yes but thats england as well right? Its never looked unbeatable

Yeah, you’re wrong, and have fallen for this ‘lack of hype’ you can’t even see.

All the big teams fallen? How are you defining big? Previous winners (France)? Most skilful/form team (Belgium)? Hosts (Russia)?

I’d love England to win. I’d also love to be a bookmaker right now.
