I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS PRESSURE LADS

The status of football, vis a vis England and home:

[ ] COMING
[X] GOING

We're going home. Calling it now.

>>8611
Fuck off jinxing it, you cunt.

fuck.

But they are?

Won't be watching another World Cup.

IT'S BUGGERED OFF

FOOTBALL'S BUGGERED OFF

Viz Top Tip: Always bet against your team when they're 1-0 up, so if the other team turn things around and bum rape you at least you have some money to go out on the lash and have a curry and glass anyone in a red shirt and that.

It's a crying shame.

I was really looking forward to see England get beaten by France.

Still, good luck to Croatia. They're probably the least evil of the Former Yugoslav Republics.

>>8622
There's the women's World Cup next year. That'll be worth a chuckle or two.

Well lads, we beat Brazil, Germany, Argentina etc. And we can be proud. We didn't embarrass ourselves, we just lost a game of football.

Does this make every major metropolitan centre in the UK more or less likely to get smashed to pieces? Looking forward to seeing Belgium again, honestly, great bunch of lads. Southgate's hopefully in this for the long haul and a lot of these faces will be in the squad for a while yet, Vardy not being a World Cup winner is a travesty, mind you.

>>8626
Please don't make me go on my rant about why people who don't like women's footie are plebs who don't like football at all, I'm just not in the mood.

I really didn't think I'd actually be this sad.

My entire life fell apart over the last few years and I truly hit rock bottom. I wasn't suicidal exactly but definitely woke up every day in 2017 wishing I hadn't. I've done everything I could to turn things around this year and was starting to feel like the stars were aligning or something.

Oh well. Serves me right for having a glimmer of hope. At least I have my personal progress. Whinge for whingy blogposting.

Let's be honest, lads. Being English, we crave disappointment. Just imagine if we'd have won, and the dent it would have made on our national psyche.

We've had a spell of heat and it's turned all our heads funny, but at least normal service will be resuming shortly. There's a big fuckoff storm on its way and England have been knocked out of the world cup.

It's the dependable, reliable normality we need in a topsy turvy year.

>>8629

Come on, mate, chin up. England spent many of the previous tournaments high off their own farts got absolutely nowhere, but this time they worked hard, had a good time and gave the whole country a hell of a ride. Obviously it would have been nice to win the whole thing apropo of nothing, but we've gotten far closer than anyone thought.

Basically, winning is very gauche and Saturday's kick about with those big, lanky, Belgian lads will be a lovely time for all.

>>8627
I love these mental gymnastics to try and retain some dignity. We didn't play Brazil, Germany, or Argentina. So we didn't actually beat any of them, and then we lost to Croatia, a country of 4 million people that is barely older than its players.

>>8632

>retain some dignity

Clear off, mate. Go whinge in the comments section of your newspaper of choice, they're usually bizarrely hysterical when it comes to footie. England played well for the majority of their minutes, the overwhelming majority. Basically every group had two shitter teams no one had any hopes for, the difference this time is England wasn't one of them. Player for player we aren't really much better Croatia, arguably their midfield puts them beyond us in fact, so while this wasn't some Escape to Victory-esque feelgood story, painting this as a embarrassing national pantsing is silly. If you want to see that go watch Brazil 2014 and France 2016.

Let's get our own back against what is pretty much a non-country.

>>8634
>pretty much a non-country
Please don't say this, even as a joke, it makes me grind my teeth involuntarily.

>>8635

To be fair it really is just half France and half Netherlands, but more racist and full of boring paedofiles.

>>8632
> Croatia, a country of 4 million people that is barely older than its players

Christ alive, what a fucking indictment of our failing education system.
Croatia did exist before the dissolution of Yugoslavia, you know? No? Nevermind then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Croatia_(925%E2%80%931102)

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Anyway, it just goes to show really, we've gone for years putting all our hopes on big-knob mangers like Eriksson, and teams full of twats like Beckham and Rooney. Now we're back to a squad full of "inexperienced" players who actually understand what teamwork means and we have our best performance in decades.

>>8638
It's a shame they ran out of ideas. It worked in the first half because they couldn't cope with the pace but in the second half they began to tire, Croatia started pressing forward and bossing the midfield and Lovren actually remembered he was a defender.

If Kane had squared that ball to Sterling it could have been an entirely different story.

>>8637
I assume you're taking the piss. I don't think the Kingdom of Croatia had a national football team.

>>8487
This post didn't age well.

>>8640

That has nothing to do with what you posted in >>8632 and you know it. Croatia is a fine old real country - unlike, say, Belgium. No one had a national football team in the fifteen hundreds. You fucking mong.

>>8642
It has everything to do with it and you're just slow. The Croats and the region have a long-standing ethnic and geographical identity, yes - like most places in the world - but the nation-state is very young, and a country which experiences a lot of political and social upheaval, such as those in 20th Century Eastern Europe, aren't able to devote as much time or resources to the development of sports or the necessary infrastructure thereof as more stable countries. England on the other hand has been the same nation in every competition for the last hundred years. I suggest you think about the impact of 1966 on the English national psyche and how Croatians at the time had to instead be satisfied with their Olympic gold under the flag of Yugoslavia.

England out, irrelevant cunt-off and its started raining, complete normalcy has been restored. Oh well, we’ll always the Spartak shoutout...

>>8643

Come on now lad, people play football all over the world. Even if you want to go all 20th century "bla bla Yugoslavia", the same people have been playing the same game for as long as we have. The fact that they do it under a different flag now means SFA. We might as well be discussing how Russia have done so well to build a team out of the ruins of the USSR you utter fucking ponce.

How are we doing in the tennis?

Jamie Murray is in the mixed doubles final and Jack Draper is in the junior singles final.

You've been retired for 10 years, Tim, calm down.

This is some serious bullshit refereeing.

>>8656
Refball has begun, France are being France and the ref is Argentinian. Croatia are fucked unless they pull something magical out of the half-time team talk.

I fucking hate the way France play so much, it's so shit to watch as a neutral. No one likes cheats except the Chinese.

Lloris is far too slow for shenanigans like that.

I didn't bring a coat, but I'm taking this one.

Really not arsed who won, but France are pretty drab to watch,, weirdly.

Croatia were robbed in the first half, but France were determined to silence the critics who would have called them cheaters.

I mean, they are, but they also have Mbappe and he opened up the Croatian defence quite well.

Does a losing finalist always get the Golden Ball? It's some kind of poison chalice.

>>8659
France have been drab all tournament. They stifle the opposition and rely on the likes of Pogba, Griezmann and Mbappe for a moment of quality.

Griezmann's celebration gets on my tits.

>>8662
What a bunch of cocks.

At least England don't leave empty-handed. Kane bagged the Golden Boot.
