    I would find England's story/journey quite intriguing and interesting if it were anyone but them to be honest. Repeatedly * it with a supposed golden generation and now trying to play decent football with a new generation and younger manager, what's not to like? If it were Italy or Holland in the next campaign for example, I'd be right into it.
    Except it's them, their fans and media are insufferable * and at the end of the day for all their preaching and smoke and mirrors about their brand of football they can barely score a goal from open play against largely average opposition.
    Not just saying this because it's them, but I can't believe a team that's shown so little has got so far, will be a bit of a travesty for me if they win it.

    Bilic is definitely itching to stick the nut on 1 of them. Hopefully he puts on a show and Dixon, Wright, Neville and Pootach are spread eagled with Hoddle and Tyldesly toppling from the gantry..

    They aint winning it,if the get past a tired Croatia then thats it,Belgium or France will demolish them in the final as its their first proper test and they will fail......The sad thing is its unbearable they make the final though alone and spawned it all the way

    Even the Qualifiers you played no one,even us.....then you get an Panama and Tunisia handed to you...you then play a Belgium side that had a 2nd string team out (you failed),Columbia,missing Rodriquez....and a Sweden team that is nothing of the past in having Larsson/Ibra etc.

    So were has the greatness came from?

    I will congratulate the English IF they win the Final as then they deserved it,albeit sneaking in the back door,but to beat a Belgium or France then that's fair enough....As of now they getting * all grace handed to them till they play someone decent.

    So don't lecture us on how good they are when they have done * all.

    And yes i'm a hate filled *,because most people i know that support the queens 11 are * inbred orange *...so forgive me if i * hate english supporters (so called celtic fans or not).....you want to see us in misery and i want to see the same back. I've got the same hatred for the english team as i have sevco

    And to top it off i need to go down to that shithole country tomorrow as well....better stand away from taxis or bus stops,dont know what they will trash,and thats when they are winning

    We had an easy group, did what we had to do, we beat a Colombia that 90% on here were convinced we're going to be too strong for us, we made Sweden look ordinary, the same Sweden that had conceded the least goals in the tournament and had made others look poor. In short we have beaten every team we wanted to.
    Croatia have some great players with a lot more experience than England but I think we have a better team, let's see what happens but to say we haven't played anyone, we have do e as well as anyone in this tournament.

    BTW who mentioned greatness?
    I said we've done well, we are in the semi finals ffs whoever we have played we are there, we can't change who we have played but in the past we have * up easier opportunities than this route.

    No matter how much anyone tries to dress it up, England have been as fortunate as they could have hoped.

    On paper, getting to a semi-final is pretty impressive. But when you actually look at who they have played on their way there, anything less than the semi would have to be seen as a failure. So this whole “no matter what happens now, it’s been a success and players have overachieved” patter is * nonsense.

    Probably the easiest group in the competition. An average Colombia side who were missing their best player. And an utterly ordinary Sweden team. In all seriousness, how many teams have ever had an easier route to a WC semi-final?

    Honestly, I think Scotland would have beaten all these teams, Absolute trash teams England has played, you would think with all the media flaunting it all they have beaten world class teams to get there, Irritating as *.

    It genuinely wouldn't bother me. I would rather Scotland won than any South American team or say Croatia and especially France. I am pals with a lot of Scots, I lived there a while so no you're wrong.
