It's almost worth losing, just to watch the bitterness and sweeping generalisations from some people.

England bring happiness to millions when they play, win or lose.

Nope nothing to do with Skill, hard work and team cohesion. It was a line from a song that came out 25 years ago that powered Italy to victory... and you talk about arrogance?
Yes fans. Well you'll struggle to find any English fan who doesn't condemn the behaviour of a very small percentage of idiots. I hope they're caught, named and shamed and punished. They're nothing but criminal thugs that do not speak for me or millions of others.
that was what spurred them on according to Bonnuci last night.....they got fed up of hearing that line all over the news, media and in the stadiums
and again how is it arrogant to quote what the italians have said in the press??? i mean are they arrogant for saying that???

Maybe, but i think they misunderstood the context, which is understandable as many don't speak English natively. But i reckon you probably know better...
im just quoting what they said and was fed up of hearing, just like every other non english football fan.......oh and as for context, we all know what you meant, but are happy to spin it in any way you wish

Im not spinning it anyway. There is a music video attached to the song. It's a song about hope, media expectation, the tribulations of being an England fan.
It's such a damn shame that so many need to hate their neighbours so much. It isn't something i share, thankfully even if i seemingly am a minority...

Nonsense. Without the union there wouldn't be the lols. England are very entertaining in that regard, especially the po-faced stout yeomen of this shire.Me, who really can't summon the energy to care that much about football, watching bitter sods from all parts of this island tear into each other, hastening the breakup of the union
the same as 1966 as been forgotten.......Fortunately, it’ll all be forgotten in a week
you mean the same as the english hate the welsh rugby team.....its not just a one way thing you know

Bizarre comment.
Despite being an Englishman with many Welsh relatives this comes as a surprise to me.
Still, I guess just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
I think I'll leave you to it from here @jowwy
