That's what England are doing...going down easy, fkn love it...been on the end of this for yrs about time we become wise to playing this aspect of the game. Kane fair play son..keep doing it, fk the Scots etc who will now all be supporting Italy..fkn mugs!
Raheem too....any touch you go down and I dont give a fk who moans about it, I remember the theatrics from Ronaldo and his wink..England lost...then becks getting sent of after such an overreaction...England lost..well fk em, we can do it too and into the final we go...
Sunday if chiellini or whoever touch our players in the box get the fk down and claim loud and proud...because they have doing this to us for fkn DECADES.

Greece 2004 - tactical masterclass
https://thesefootballtimes.co/2019/05/17/the-tactical-achievement-of-the-decade-how-greece-conquered-a-continent-to-win-euro-2004/
"While it is undeniable that their style was not overly pleasing on the eye, the prevailing negativity towards Greece only became the norm once they actually began to look as though they could win the tournament. Yet, if winning defensively was so easy, more unfancied teams would surely upset the odds as Greece had done. In truth, it was far from easy.
On closer inspection, it could even be viewed, as suggested by Michael Cox of Zonal Marking, as “the tactical achievement of the decade”, as Greece effortlessly switched formations as and when required, and continually posed sufficient of a threat going forward to capitalise on their defensive solidity. Cox continued: “To beat the holders, the best team and the hosts in successive rounds – by the same scoreline, by scoring the same way – doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through immense tactical wisdom and careful deployment of tactics to suit each game.”
Greece in 2004 were superb at adapting their shape to best counter their opponent and were steadfast in implementing the plans laid down by their coach."

That isn't evidence is it
Other countries hate you far far more, starting with the Welsh and Irish.
Half of Scotland want to be British for feck sake, some hate that is
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Half of Scotland wanting to be British doesn't mean that half of Scotland want to be English. Stop being silly.

Evidence? From yonks ago?
Tiit
We don’t hate you. Most have family and friends who are English. It’s rivalry ffs. The enjoyable side will be if you lose; the thought of your personal pain will be hilarious but for the vast majority of your support we’ll acknowledge that you got to a final and have every expectation you’ll do so again. You’re one of the worlds top sides after all.
For you though, I’ll laugh most

That Maradona stuff is cringe though. Sterling has to be their new hero right?

Been to loads of Scotland games and practically all of them at home with a good number away and haven’t heard the Maradona thing for Christ knows how long.

Fair enough. Makes sense that it would come out again v England and it’s not like many of our contingent don’t provoke. Just wish they wouldn’t boo the anthems.

Wait a minute, your anthem is our anthem. Our queen is your queen. Probably god too but I don't know much about that. If we both sang GSTQ would they play it twice? Would the fans boo one and sing the other? If they just played it once would they all sing or all boo?
