What is wrong with the England flag when you are representing England, and only England?

I saw the union flag you're on about. It had a picture of the Queen on it. Maybe they just liked the flag and thought it appropriate to wave it. Besides, our union flag winds such a Krankie Sturgeon up. That ain't a bad thing i'd say!

Especially the first 25 minutes, I was getting quite worried!

I rest my case, re not being able to educate them.

Looks like i haven't missed anything if the game is that shite, that we're already on to flags...

Nobody needs educating. It's just a football game. Get over it...as they say.

Noooooooo!!

Don't worry, I'm well over it. In fact, I was never into it. This game doesn't involve my country, but I don't understand why people supporting another nation are waving part of my nation's flag.

Watched most of the second half. Not a classic. Considering how tame the Croatian attack was, England's tactics seemed quite negative really, lots of holding up and passing back. Perhaps they gave Croatia too much respect. Either way, a win nevertheless...

That will do, seen Croatia playing better tbh, but not great in those last two friendlies. Good start

Seriously, did anyone really expect a classic?
England have never won an opening game.
Croatia is a top team.
Temperature was sooo high.
England imo did very well to win.
Try giving them some credit.

I can guarantee that NO Scotland fan would ever fly a union jack at a match involving Scotland

Even the ones that fly Union Flags when they're at home?

England were amazing. A class act. Pickford was a wall between the posts and the defence immovable objects. Favourites for the tournament by far. Lucky to get 1-25 at the bookies...
