its hard to dislike most of that England team.

I'm not even that much of an Irish patriot but I support Arsenal and even think that Declan Rice is a wanker.

Saka though, such a nice boy.

For reasons I don't know, everyone really hates Jordan Pickford. Maybe that's changed in the last couple of weeks.

He's a sap.

He's a sap.

Why is he a sap though? I've never seen anyone get the hassle that Pickford got when he was my work. Harry Kane got a lot of agg, but then (at club level at least) he scored the goals.
Rice was instrumental in WHUFC having their happy day and trophy last year. I do very much dislike his ads for MullerRice. The SYNERGY is obvious, but does he need to do it. And of course I'd rather he played for ROI*.

He just has a bad vibe, a sneering, taunting, shithousing wanker.

him or the thousands of people shouting at him ?

Anywhoo i saw the first half and the anglo saxon colony were playing like a team who wanted to win so fair play to them

Often directed to his opponents.

It was quite unedifying indeed. I'm sure plenty of those same people are currently drunk and sunburned in Germany, roaring them on.

Sidenote and wrong thread maybe, but the video of the German Policeman who looks a bit like Gareth Southgate is weirdly wholesome.

I just watched that video too. He seems to be in good humor about it, which is nice to see too.

Pickford committed a serious assault on Virgil Van Dijk during a match v Liverpool @ Goodison.
Pickford left Virgil with an ACL injury after which Virgil never got back to his previous (immense) levels.
The ref didn't send Pickford off, didn't give Liverpool a penalty and Pickford only got banned for a few matches.

I did hear something about this but didn't want to say as my memory failed me.

Actually, sorry - I was wrong on the last point:
Pickford faced no sanction at all.

If it was there have been a Battle Royal to have first option on taking out Pickford.
Beyond that goalkeepers and the centre of defence are the weak parts of the England squad.

Legendary Pickford mistake v Liverpool. In final seconds Virgil balloons a shot, Pickford makes a mess of it and... Diviock Origi strikes.
Watch Virgil's reaction

Nev Southall - now there was a great Everton keeper. Great guy too.

While the bigger and more important thing is to dismantle the patriarchy and create a society where male violence against women is truly not tolerated that will take a long time so the Brits making moves to ensure that crossbows are harder to get isn't a bad idea.

You couldn't imagine Emi Martinez getting upset about anything . He is the boss of shit housery.
Virgil should prank call Pickford.

 

[nuke terrorist]

You can't say that on Sky News!
You see, lots of England fans are sound - but the media aren't.

fun video but also a bit surreal because german police violence has been just cartoonishly nasty ever since oct 7. they got so brutal at the palestine demo in berlin on saturday that the ambulance people declared a mass casualty event and one guy got helicoptered out with a broken spine, and all of this is just normal now

anyway I’m not trying to be a downer here, just saying scheiss auf die bullen
