I understood the tactical reasoning behind doing it vs Germany. Against a 4-3-3 it makes no sense, we'll be outnumbered in central midfield

the comment section is also pretty interesting, many english commenters seem to be unhappy with their fellow countrymen, and their rude and nationalist attitude: https://imgur.com/gallery/KeNzfO7

so according to you all of Europe, except Great Britain, is rooting against the country with multiple black players/minority players in the lineup and takes the knee before every match to send an anti-racism message. and instead are rooting for the National team of the country that still throws bananas and makes monkey chants at black players in their domestic leagues

what the fuck???????

that said, i'll still be rooting for england over italy. they might have classless fans and cheated themselves into this final, but italy is historically so much worse when it comes to despicable tactics. also, while it's unfortunately a pretty big issue in both their leagues, racism is undeniably worse in serie a (despite english fans repeatedly booing their team for taking a knee). finally, a title might actually heal england's inferiority complex somewhat and make their fans less toxic in the long run, even though short term i'd expect a lot of obnoxious cunts acting like they won the trophy themselves...



of course you don't. that would require principles and some kind of character. if england had been eliminated by a dive like that you would have cried like a baby. whatever, just don't EVER pretend you oppose diving, cheating, and playacting in football again...
