many countries have that element domestically....but none match the Poms for the way and the frequency they export it overseas....
my opinion.....misplaced nationalism due to the inability to accept their declined status as a country.....

Misplaced? Not sure which country you're from this week but pretty sure its a country that isnt as powerful as England.

i agree in a way. because unfortunately the technical stuff you speak of now includes diving,shirt pulling,back passing and acting etc. no wonder fans react. back in the day football was exciting to watch or play. yes it was tough and hard but it was MANLY AND ENTERTAINING and all the aggression stayed on the field where it rightfully belonged.
Re: Nations League
I know this has nothing to do with the Nations League,but damn Wales are a tough team,Croatia barely beat them in the Euro qualifiers.We better shape up before the game in Cardiff.

Re: Nations League
Try to keep some perspective please, close to 20000 England fans get pissed up on a long weekend with 5 minor arrests and no serious injuries but apparently that’s worldwide news. Meanwhile frequent attacks on civilians by italian supporters in England resulting in serious injuries, 4 dutch supporters given long jail terms in England recently for serious assaults, Turkish fans boo French national anthem, mass monkey chanting heard all across Europe. But hey………ozzie owl wrote:Also an element of England fans now boo oppostion national anthems and add "no surrender" to the words of God Save the Queen", what the?MegaBonus wrote:according to Hawksey, its a media beat up, the locals started it, the local police were heavy handed, the locals don't appreciate English humour, the English media are waging a class war against football supports.....have I missed any excuses Hawksey.

Indiscriminate baton charges are cowardly and counter productive, I reckon the last one in the UK was at Orgreave way back in the early 80s. If the police are blameless do you guys have an opinion on this from your favourite research source

Re: Nations League
Hmm. I've heard a lot of moaning from Labor supporters of late that things are definitely NOT so rosy here. But we know that their mentality is a bit off. :wink:God is an Englishman wrote:I know what you're getting at.

There's the difference you see. A lot of us have been outside australia so aren't as blinded by what australia has to offer.

Re: Nations League
I have been outside Australia and have been very impressed with various parts of the world and also feel sorry for many in the same places. Most places have their plusses and minuses but Australia (especially western part of Adelaide) still has a lot going for it. Not called the lucky country for nothing.God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:

Re: Nations League
I wonder just how much of the increased anti-English sentiment in Europe is down to Brexit?
If Britain does leave Europe. it will make it difficult for the failed economy countries' residents' to move to the UK and live like kings on the welfare, as currently occurs, so I have heard.
It is also likely that the Germans, French and Spanish economies would have to pay more to continue to rule Europe.

Misplaced? Not sure which country you're from this week but pretty sure its a country that isnt as powerful as England.
