its a knockout tournament that has so far been full of upsets. While they would clearly not be the favourites against France or Belgium, anything can happen on the day in a one-off match.

And of course this is as much hope as expectation - nothing wrong with that during an international tournament surely? Would be a dull old world cup thread if everyone just posted things like 'I hope my team does well but I realise they may not'.

If I've learnt anything this tournament it's just how much people hate the idea of the English team doing well. I mean, proper bloodshot eyed, foaming at the mouth hatred. Twitter is awash with it.

You said the same about us against Colombia and Sweden.

Why not? This thread existing doesn't stop another one from existing. There's not a finite number of threads lol.

Also, I'm English and while I hate my country entirely and everyone in it I hope it does come home just to shut the media up about 1966 and also give a little glory to the best England football team there's been in over 50 years.

It's good people are already playing out a France - England final in their heads. It'll be the only place they get to see it.

Meanwhile my boys in red are getting ready to take it home instead.

That was quite clearly hyperbole, I don't hate everyone but I hate atleast 52% of it. (this is also hyperbole)

I suppose it comes from many places, one would be they are even less graceful in victory than in defeat.

The world just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about English football (I'm an expert), but 52 years of hurt and that never stopping me dreaming are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Brazil where you can become successful by diving all over the fucking park. If you lose to the English national team, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is to accept that it's coming home.

What this means is the English public, after hearing about the fact it's coming home, are not going to want to stop reminding everyone that it's coming home, nor will they stop signing 'It's Coming Home'. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but England has alienated the entire world by bringing football home.

World, publicly acknowledge that it's coming home and cancel your own celebration plans or you can kiss football goodbye.

This is the type of thread that you make during the half time of the final If England is winning by 3-0. Not now

If England loses now I blame Dipro

i would be very surprised if England wins from Croatia. But anything is possible.
Then it's Belgium or France. Again, anything is possible but i can't see it happening.
However, at this point England should be proud as hell, even if they loose to any of them.

52% of who? The young people who make the majority of this forum who voted remain by a huge margin?

Brexit was the last gasp of a generation who saw the end of the British Empire and still haven't got over it.

Anyway, Kane has the chance to bring it home and finally I think the country fully believes it can happen.

At every stage even we expected the worst, but frankly, there's nothing stopping it coming home.

Well, Belgium probably.

Edit: I work for a Dutch company. 4 years ago they...were slightly more vocal!

It is coming home. Hazard, De Bruyne, ... are bringing it home with them to England.

This thread will just end up as a bin of ridiculing England when they eventually don't win it, won't it?

A bizarre thing i noticed is the hate from people from the USA for the english team, not just this world cup but the previous ones as well. If england win i will be insufferable.

They're the clear favorites against Croatia. Assuming they get to the final, I'd say it's 50-50 against Belgium. I think Belgium has the better players, but their defense has looked very vulnerable. It's a team that's likely to to make big mistakes (see vs. Japan). England would definitely not prefer France. I'd say that match is 65-35 in favor of France, they're an extremely solid team. Let's just say England very likely won't get a better chance than this in the next 50 years.

Ha Belgium or France will rip England to shreds. They haven't played anyone yet. Personally I think they won't be able to live with Croatia's midfield.

Fancy thinking Croatia will beat our brave lads. Ridiculous.

I'm already for all the whining when Kane wins the golden boot about how penalties suddenly shouldn't count.
