Just get new mates @ozzie, it would be easier as you could interview them first to see if they like England.Im still trying to celebrate yesterdays win,but now the worry about the Denmark game is taking over.
Just phoned my German mate (his birthday),he started slagging off England....play acting,cheating,kane rolling on the floor etc.
He said "the Danes will give us a good hiding",he hopes.
I told him i did not see anything like that??
I said "are you sure that was England?NOT Italy??You know Italy,your mates in WW2 when things were going well,but joined our side when it was not"
He did not say much after that,but was invited round for a beer. Think i will wait till (Please God),we win the Euros..then go
Yep, agree. I am cautiously optimistic but the Danes will be very tough opponents and have players who can hurt us. Indeed, they were the last team to beat us at home (I think!) in the Nations League, albeit having an extra man for most of the game after Maguire was sent off, allowing Eriksson to run the show.@RHB , yes. I want to believe but you understand how it is?
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
I watched Kane carefully and he looked more mobile and more roaming about than previous, especially group games.
The Danes have over achieved, will they be un-inhibited or jaded?
Come what may the England squad have done well and without fuss or scandal.
Happens every time in a international tournament Yogi. People get caught up in the euphoria and media hype and pledge eternal love for the English national side and then after the event it dies down again. It was like it in 1966 and has been the same ever since. I say the same, but probably during the last world cup and now this time, social media and tv have just pumped everyone up. It was even true when we went to Wembley with Luggy/Brown. There were so many 'supporters' who wore the Southend colours (and numerous West Ham ones) never to be seen again after we lost.It's probably just me but I'm having a little problem getting behind the England side as much as I would normally do. I have no beef with the genuine supporters on here getting behind the three lions, it's the free-riders who are causing the problem for me. For some sections of the british press and other 'new found supporters' it has become less to do with football and more to do with promoting 'Global Britain.' My brother who, apart from watching his grand-daughter play on a Sunday morning, doesn't give a toss about football, has suddenly become a great England fan. I messaged him over the weekend congratulating him on his new found enthusiasm for the professional game. I suggested that he may like to support his local team next season and that season tickets were now available..............I haven't had a reply to that. So, England football, hoorah!, England nationalism boooooooooo! Is that unfair, can the two be differentiated????
