Apparently we need to "give them more love" in Russia, and then they'll perform better. I don't think many nations are better supported at these big events than England, but that support is repaid by pathetic performances like the one against Iceland (you were especially sh!t Raheem), where they beat us simply because they wanted it far, far more than our 'superstars' did. I used to be a passionate England supporter, but prima donnas like this mega-rich deluded arsehole have left me with a sense of indifference.

Whilst I dont like the guy his comments are a bit more general than just pointing to fans. The biggest problem is actually the media if you are going to get onto the criticism side of it who look for any possible angle to drag the team down at precisely the wrong time each and every tournament.
