As an Englishman I'd like the England team to win. There's a lot associated with the England team that's it's hard to like but I'm happy to live in a country governed and populated but a lot of things it's hard to like.
Harbouring grudges from 50, 30, 20 years ago is the same mentally as the 'German bomber' brigade. Be part of the change. Come on the 3 lions! |

I have no such emotional attachment to England as a football team or a Country, and so the many many negatives will always win the day |

Always find it a bit odd, people who are English not wanting England (in whatever competition) to do well.
I get the whole thing about the football fans being morons, but there are plenty in every crowd of fans, and they’re always the ones the media focus on - the jesters hat, crusader gear, full kit types. They’re never going to focus on a bunch of fellas who are ‘too cool’ to wear their team’s colours. I get too the hatred for the plastic chair chuckers and their antics, but having them about the place should only make you despise them. I’m not English, though a good part of my family comes from there originally. I’ve always wanted England to do well in tournaments and, despite Gareth Southgate’s existence making it terribly to difficult to do so over the past few years, I’d like them to do well this time round too. |

Wish no ill will on them at all. Just don't care. Not even a tiny bit. I remember when they lost in semis a few years ago. Couple of minutes later was thinking about something else. Compare that to the fact I was still buzzing my tits off about the scousers losing the champions league final a good few weeks earlier after Bale's overhead kick and Karius being shit

![]() I’m the same. I don’t actively want them to lose, and at times have been pleased when they’ve won, but I just don’t feel it. Haven’t wildly celebrated an England goal since I was 13. If they lose I just shrug. The hype puts me off, that and suddenly supporting the same team as all the bitter ABU @#%&!s. No thanks. I think it’s international football in general though, I enjoy watching the games but basically don’t particularly care who actually wins the thing. |

I think it's a bit weird that people get so vehemently wound up by them and people driving about with flags on their vans or whatever. If that's what they want to do, let them get on with it, you're under no obligation to join in ![]() There's a lot of "look at how much i hate england, me. I hope they lose eleventy nil and lots of people cry" posturing that goes on and it's just as tedious as people who lob pints in the air and stick flares up their arses. |
