[Niamh.]

I think it's against the Law in Ireland :think:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think it's against the Law in Ireland :think:

You have law and order now?

:clap1:

That dyed hair t-shock man is delivering the goods

[Niamh.]

:clap1:

:hee:

[bots]

I will be supporting whoever England play against

[Twosugars]

what about those who are half-English? are they considered English or foreign?

[kirklancaster]

:laugh2:

[Crimson Dynamo]

what about those who are half-English? are they considered English or foreign?

Depends on what half

[Calderyon]

I will try to support whoever plays well.

[Matthew.]

absolutely not :nono:

[Nicky91]

yes, but i also support Uruguay and Croatia at the world cup :love:

[Calderyon]

Uruguay win would be nice. They have waited a long time.

[Calderyon]

Tbh, it would be nice to get a completely new World Cup winner.

[Nicky91]

Uruguay win would be nice. They have waited a long time.

also nice for their coach, Tabarez who now has crutches, muscle disease he has but it doesn't stop him from coaching the team he loves

i have respect for him, he was there at 1990 world cup coaching Uruguay, and also 2006, 2010, 2014 and now 2018 world cups :clap1:

[bots]

i want Belgium to win because they have the talent and yet have been serial under achievers, but anyone winning other than England would be an acceptable outcome

i mean, the BBC have already produced this video :umm2:

[Twosugars]

Depends on what half

lol
It was a rhetorical question. My father was English, lived in England for 15 years but I'm always considered foreign.

Like Cald, support those who play better

[Crimson Dynamo]

Like i tell my daughters

A wolf born in a stable is not a horse

both born in England to an English mum, both very Scottish

Smallest boy LT was born in Scotland but he will be, like me, fully behind England tomoz

[Nicky91]

after the Colombia match, the answer is yes :love: :cheer:

Was a great night last night,C'mon England,up yours Columbia you dirty rats.

[Twosugars]

Dirty rats?
Do you think you can celebrate that scraping-through without insulting the other team?

[Kazanne]

Dirty rats?
Do you think you can celebrate that scraping-through without insulting the other team?

No,they played dirty,fact, did you watch it?

[bots]

The colombians do what they do, we have to remember the circumstances they are living in. I remember a few world cups ago when A colombian defender scored an own goal. He was shot dead by an angry fan on his return back from the tournament.

[Livia]

No,they played dirty,fact, did you watch it?

They did, Kaz. Anyone who thinks they didn't surely didn't watch the game.

When I was a kid I used to support all the home teams... naively. When I was older I realised the bad blood, the niggling comments and anti-English sentiment that came our way... whatever. We don't need the support of people who are so small minded, they hang on to sh1t from centuries ago as an excuse not to support a neighbour.

[Livia]

Perhaps we should have tried that with Rooney & Co.

[Niamh.]

Had to support ye last night playing them dirty rats

[Kazanne]

Very well said Livia,100% agree,I don't understand that mindset either, it's pretty immature imo.

[Vicky.]

I didn't watch last nights game, infact I haven't watched any of them, however..it seems pretty much everyone is in agreement that yesterday the other team played really dirty. And apparently our goalie was absolutely fantastic? But yeah, I am English and don't really support anyone as I am not a football person, but it would be nice to see England win. My mother is actually watching it all this year and she hates football..she said shes watching as our team have been totally switched up and its now basically a bunch of younger players who noone has heard of really..is that right? She says she wants them to win because it would shut people up about how brilliant the likes of Shearer are :laugh: I don't think it would, but yeah.

[Nicky91]

my mom was feeling sorry for the Colombia coach, she thought he was nearly getting a heart attack or something during the penalty shootouts


i think Colombia gave everything they could so no reason for their fans to be ashamed of their team

[Niamh.]

They should be ashamed of their team, never seen anything like their carry on last night

[Vicky.]

They should be ashamed of their team, never seen anything like their carry on last night

What actually happened? There were loads of people saying something should have been a red card and it was a dodgy ref. Now people tend to say this all of the time, but so many said it that I think it may have been right..

And when Gavin was checking the score, it seemed both England and Columbia had 3 yellow cards each..sounds like an interesting game :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its typical of that continent, cheating, extortion, bullying to get on

sly and nasty and thankfully they did not win

vile bunch

[Nicky91]

they weren't ashamed, i saw some of their reactions on the news


penalty's are a lottery which could go either way, so they were proud of their team getting extra time and penalty shootout out of this


and Gareth's strategy worked, to train on these penalty shootout scenario's more :clap2:

One of them head butted Jordan henderson, how he didn't get a straight red for that I don't know, then when England got a penalty another time, it was a blatant penalty, the whole Colombian team stood arguing with ref for ages while kicking up the ground in the penalty spot to try and make to harder to score the penalty and just countless other fouls really. There's video of the head butt here :

[AnnieK]

The Colombians throughout the game used violent conduct against our players, intimidation and aggression towards the ref. They got a lucky last minute goal but should have been down to 10 men! The right team won

[Cherie]

Supporting England as Ireland are not in in, lived in England longer than I have lived in Ireland now and its my home, and chuffed for my boys that they are experiencing some success at the WC, I remember the euphoria of Italia 90 when Ireland did well so delighted they get to feel that as well :dance: older one is dog sitting at home and when he rang this morning he was hoarse :laugh:

Oh and even the coach bumping Raheem Sterling aswell, ref should have sent him off the pitch too

[Cherie]

Ref was poor thought he would lose control at one point, surprised he gave the pen tbh

I would have hated to have been him trying to manage that game though tbf :worry:

Thats ****ing ridiculous. Even from just that, and as someone who does not watch football, I can tell the ref was seriously dodgy! I now understand the rage that appeared on FB :laugh: I think I might start watching now it seems we are doing quite good. And so that I don't have to ask stuff like this

[Calderyon]

Colombia were playing dirty tactics, but it almost worked as it clearly rattled the English players.

Not acceptable, but quite an efficient tactic.

England has not been properly tested yet imo.

[bots]

the colombian only brushed him with his head, it was hardly a forceful headbutt . Also the england player went down on the ground clutching his forehead, where the only contact was on his chin

[Vicky.]

Hmm maybe. But we tend to be out before now usually, so am hopeful :laugh:

However it was clearly on purpose. So should have been a red.

But LOL at clutching his forehead when it was also clearly his chin!

[Niamh.]

oh come off it, you can't use your head like that, it was as clear a red as I've ever seen :laugh:

That was 12 years ago! :p We have been crap for ages

[Twosugars]

no

They were the dirtiest team I've ever seen and I have no loyalty to England :laugh:

[Calderyon]

If England wants to succeed they need to change their game tactics.

[Twosugars]

so I hear..

didn't know that when I posted earlier and thought foreigners were being slagged off
easy mistake to make :hehe:

[chuff me dizzy]

Was a great night last night,C'mon England,up yours Columbia you dirty rats.

Terrible ,dirty ,filthy gets Im so proud of England not raising to their attacks, how he didnt get sent off for the head butting I will never know, but its over now, they are on their way home and we play Sweden on Saturday :dance::dance:

[Ammi]

so I hear..

didn't know that when I posted earlier and thought foreigners were being slagged off

...some ‘foreigners’ deserve to be slagged off though, TwoSugars...:laugh:...and the Colombian team playing was dirty and rat-ish...that’s really the only way it could be described..(..politely...)...if at some point we lose and don’t go the full way then at least let it be to a team without the dirty tactics there were last night...

[Twosugars]

as half-foreigner I'm outraged at your suggestion :tongue:

glad to see you back, you bad bad Ammi :cheer2:
you deserve a spanking for disappearing tho :fist:

[Underscore]

I had to stay neutral because I share my birthday with Shakira and she comes from Columbia.

we have a spiritual bond.

[Kazanne]

I just want to enjoy it while we are still in it,I love to see everyone full of joy and smiling, We may not make the end but lets just enjoy the now, proud of those boys, and never say never.

[Vanessa]

Of course. Come on England :dance:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Cant wait for Sat

:dance2:

[Nicky91]

Can't wait for Saturday


btw belgian commentator was right about some english players not living up to their standards, John Stones he is amazing at Liverpool with Wijnaldum and first with Coutinho they called him the star of the midfield there, but here at england he is just underwhelming and just decent


and belgian commentators were next to colombian commentators (former international faryd mondragon among the commentary for Colombia) and they were screaming after it got to penalty's

John Stones has never and will never play for Liverpool

John Stones has never and will never play for Liverpool

i'm only saying what the belgian commentator said

[Ramsay]

I'm supporting them to go all the way to the final and to lose on penalties. Now that would be beautiful :)

[y.winter]

I don't watch football, but all I hear about is how ungrateful, whiny and arrogant are all the major teams, so I hope a decent underdog wins it in the end. Something along the lines of two small neighbourless countries making the top 2 of Eurovision 2019 while Russia and co not even qualifying.
