    Watching the game on Sunday with an English guy that's brand new and doesn't understand why Scottish people don't support them.

    Going to bam him up and pretend I'm supporting them... then take off my hoodie last min to reveal...

    Theirs too many reasons why I despise that national team.

    Rugby team and fans are more respectful

    So you had no issues with the previous comment which basically dismissed those teams and yet you have a problem with my comment which essentially defends the quality of those teams and that's what makes you suddenly want Italy to win 4 or 5-0?

    A lot of these comments remind me of when the huns try to dismiss our 1967 win because of the teams we played before inter.

    England have had it way to easy and will fall spectacularly, Italy have beat Belgium and Spain and playing different to Italy teams in the past that I've seen. Italy are big game players compared with england so im hoping anyway that its a good win haha.
    Mates half Italian from boro and he coming up to mine to watch it as not allowed to watch it at home as he goes berserk and all out other mates are little englanders.

    * you not watched Italy, Portugal or Spain for the last 30 years? Every team is at it with the dark arts, at this point if the national team you support isn't doing the same then you should be asking questions

    Not necessarily and expat or English place. Ideally somewhere I can go and openly support Italy around the gothic quarter with a few TVs.

    I’ll check out Flaherty’s :50:

    Haven’t seen a montage talking about being ‘honest’ before any of their games though eh. Cheats mate.

    Not seen their fans shining lasers in keepers faces though, is that ‘dark arts’ as well?

    One fan shining a laser in the keepers face is a scumbag move but you can't judge the fan base on one moron? Remember when that drunken idiot ran on the pitch at celtic park to attack mbappe, yeah lets judge all celtic fans because of that guy?

    The incident was a soft penalty but why are you acting like this is the first time a player has ever dived before? It happens all the time with every team.


    Plus Jensen's upper right leg smashes into Sterling just saying..

    Nope, not once have I ever even alluded to that. I’m saying your player cheated. And you’re all perfectly happy with that. Despite the so called ‘honest players’. It’s called cheating.

    And it should always be called out.

    England’s full of scumbag fans btw, you see it every tournament.

    He's already on his way down when Jensen's leg contacts his.

    Err, naw. You've had an easier route to the final, there's no denying. Denmark have over achieved in this tournament, Croatia are on the decline big time and Germany shipped 6 goals in the group stage...more goals conceded than us! They turned up for one game out of 4 and have no recognisable striker. I'm not saying you don't deserve to be in the final. You can only beat what's in front of you.

    I'll repeat; having a conversation with any English fan turns anybody anti-England. Probably because they all turn into Chelsea fans.

    Where was this holier than thou energy when Christensen took a dive to give Denmark the freekick that led to their goal? Comparing the Maradona handball to a penalty that can be argued for or against is just ridiculous

    No it’s not, he dived to win the penalty. It’s cheating. It can’t be argued for, he cheated. By diving.

    100% a foul against Christensen. Wee bit of bias showing here mate.

    Fair enough, Imo English fans are fine for the most part, every single fan I know has been humble about our expectations and self deprecating especially before the Germany game. It's the pundits and arrogant media that give us a bad rap in that regard, honestly most English fans didn't expect us to get to the final and still can't believe it.
