Watching the world cup so far I'm reminded again that at the end of the day it is a global football celebration as much as it is a competition.
Looking at the fans of these various nations enjoying their time in Russia before , during and after the matches is quite refreshing.
The Mexicans , the Aussies and the Peruvians so far have been the most impressive of all the fans I've seen in Russia 2018.
And that's where the England fans come in ... We are usually miserable at major football tournaments and don't really get a chance to enjoy the wonderful experience of being at a World Cup for example
Yes our players don't help much on the pitch but it's not like we expect them to win the cup anyways.
Let's just for once try and enjoy today's match which should be a win for us.
Short of Deli Ali getting sent of for being an idiot we shouldn't have much negativity today even though Tunisia could definitely frustrate us.

Heard there's only 2,000 'official' England tickets sold through the FA to fans.
Hope there's a lot more bought them elsewhere or you'll hardly hear a peep out of them.

This talk of England fans reminds me of an article written during the last Euros when things kicked off between English and Russian fans in France. It made the point that for every lagered up fan throwing plastic chairs around, you'll also see, sitting quietly at pavement cafés England fans who basically look like Joe Hart. They basically look like Joe Hart: I love it when a comparison totally nails it.

I'm sorry but I totally disagree with the op. Football is a pastime that people watch to enjoy, and the England team has chipped away at our enthusiasm by being a bunch of overpaid arrogant morona for years.
I get the feeling this group of players have the potential to change things, but why should I enjoy something simply because it's a big occasion? If England play well I'll enjoy the game, if they don't I won't. Simple as that

I'm sure Joe Hart will blend in this tournament then, in the pavement cafes.

We have as good a footballing following around the world as anyone. Issue is we have a minority that spoil it and tarnish our reputation and now we are paying for it.
No country in world football takes as many fans as we do normally to a footballing tournament

I heard the yanks took a lot more than us in South Africa and Brazil and despite their team not being in Russia they still bought more tickets than any other country - other than Russia
