Mepham didn't shove Dolberg to the floor today completely off the ball? Davies didn't almost start a mass brawl by starting on Yilmaz in the Turkey match? I'm just saying seems like there's an issue in the squad with discipline. Passion spilling over maybe, I don't know, team togetherness seems to be Wales' strength. You made it personal, needlessly. And the fact you did made the Danes absolutely spanking your lot even sweeter. Wouldn't call it a strength based on today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take all the sheep jokes etc. I have in fact since when I moved to Leicester over forty years ago. But we get a lot of serious cack about our language etc and let's be honest, England often sadly tends to be rather patronising of its Celtic neighbours, hence the animosity. Anyway, it's a football forum. In all honesty, I hope you do OK in the tournament. We are fed up of hearing of 1966 and 1996. 😉😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I agree with Simon Jordan, I'm indifferent to the other home nations, I don't care how they do. I used to get behind them, years back, but there's always been an anyone but England attitude from large chunks of fans from the other home nations. At least I'm indifferent to them, not outright hate, actively wanting them to fail. I had a dog in the fight in some way tonight, with having Danish family back a few generations, so I wanted Denmark to win, but had this been Wales v Belgium, I'd be no more bothered by the winner than I will be in the Italy Austria match.

Come on, Wembley cheered every goal Scotland let in when we were playing the Czechs. There's historic reasons why Scotland (not so historic given we're not going to let them leave the Union any time soon), Wales and Ireland hate the English. Sport seems like a pretty safe space for them to vent that imo. I personally wish them the best and hope they do well (unless it's at the detriment of the team I'm supporting) but while I wish it was more unified I understand why it's not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh and Scots detest the English. Likewise, I feel the same about them. Hate the fact that so many English people in the media have been fawning over the Scots and Welsh. They wouldn't do the same about us. And don't get me started on the coverage that Ireland get if they ever qualify. That aren't even a home nation. Literally a foreign country and we get so much coverage on them. It's like giving that amount of airtime to France. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think getting through to the knockout round, finishing second behind Italy, is absolutely the criteria for success. Am I right in saying they have a 100% record progressing from major tournament group stages? Considering their squad and size, that is a great achievement. Most had them as the bottom club in their group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful mate, I said exactly the same the other day and apparently to some on here England and Scotland/Wales arent actually rivals and just because Wales and Scotland hate England it doesnt mean we should be doing the same back because thats just ‘playground stuff’ 😂. How anyone can cheer on a Country where their fans hate England back i will never understand, bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Germans don't care about us and said that they are basically to England like England are to Scotland The Scots had their big game against us, we've got our big game against Germany!

Fun fact, Genk signed him as Castagne's replacement when Atalanta signed Timmy.

That's my point. The tiresome support for whoever is playing England might have been funny in the 70's but wears a bit thin eventually. Its really not surprising that England fans enjoy other British nations losing at football. I've seen plenty of Scotland and a few Wales flags flying around London. The English are by nature a very tolerant people but would a window survive that was flying an England flag in Glasgow or Cardiff, for example? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
