I can't believe you so-called patriots haven't created a thread on England with cameos of Ireland, Wales, and Scotland?
Personally, I can't wait to see the Greece under-5s take on another scaLP :) With a secret glance at the other teams mentioned.
As they created football, especially in England. Still not sure why they did;t let the Englishman manage them after the other Englishman with another foreigner.
Anyway, good luck, all, whatever team you are barracking for.
Well, what a beautiful morning for a change.
Watching Greece winning 2 nil 16 minutes in and should be 5. To top it off, an Ozzy referee in Mr Gilette.
Commenter! I've never seen a keeper more busier than this keeper ever lol
Whoa, as I type that, 3 nil 20 minutes.
Tsimikas is unreal. Why or why didn't we sign him?
4 nil 35 minutes :) I know you guys a jealous of our prioress lol.
Has the UK gone into civil war?
Have the Islamists taken over for real?
So quiet from the French also
So quiet it's beyond belief lol
England still crap leads 1 0 thanks to a brilliant header by their opponent.
Not much for Internnational football
Hard to believe they do this during the pro season
To much football 24/7 & 52 weeks a year available globally plus the emerging womens full calendar of games now too.
Never had a connection into watching England games unless a Leeds player was involved - not really my scene sat rattling a St Georges sabre, only interested in my Leeds Utd love affair, end of. 👍
I actually had a choice to have my baby in England but decided to have my child in France, regardless would still qualify to play football for France or England & the law with regards to my child conceived via the IVF process also allows said childs biological father birthplace to be calculated into national teams selection process too, such is life for todays footballing prospects. 👀
My brother also had national team choices too with France, Ireland, Lithuania, Serbia & England in his case by descent & further possible 5 years residence in any future country would add another option 😂 such are footballs bizarre rules for representation of national teams nowadays.
So thats my personal take & feel of national football presently.
Ah yes, victory at home over that great footballing nation of Andorra. Sure to win the World Cup now XD
Here in oz totty IVF is secret; the sperm donors are not listed as fathers, and no one usually knows who they are.Quote:

Now it will be even more with Women?s footy.
If you end up diluting cordial too much you get water.
Watched when Kalvin played purely coz he was Leeds
The current qualification process rarely puts together groups with any meaningful competitive games as there is usually just the one big fish with a smattering of "on a good day" red herrings and then minnows and plankton. Great experience for the latter teams, but is this what football needs or wants?
Any fixture that involves representing your country should be treated as an honour and a chance to prove yourself worthy of the badge, but it seems as if most of these games (at least for England) are matches to be successfully negotiated without picking up an injury.
You can understand why the players (mostly) seem to play that way (especially if ordered to do so by the coaching staff), but they can be hard games to watch.
That said, I quite enjoyed ROI v Hungary. At least it was genuinely competitive.
The England v Andorra game was pretty much the definition of why Americans think sarker sucks. They have a point.
I guess England got three...
