I really don't think they need help being emboldened. They'll be plenty bold either way.

England have already admitted defeat in their hearts by throwing their game with Belgium. They do not deserve to win.

Actually he'll be in Scotland for the final so so long as England make it to the final there's a chance the Scots'll kick off.

All the sports America cares about are insanely ruled bloated and shitter versions of classic games like rugby and rounders.

None of them have anything on the majesty of the beautiful game though

What's "the beautiful game"? Is that the one where they kill a bunch of horses?

You'll know when it happens when Jeremy Vine says he'd like to hear more from people who know anything before rushing to judgement on his lunchtime show on Radio 2.

im not sure which historical record youre referring to but in recent memory the england team hasn't performed very well in tournaments so the fact that they're doing very well in this one is a great reason to support them imho

can someone explain something to me (USAmerican here) please. The reason not to just do-over the Brexit referendum seems to be because it would teach cryptofascist elements of British society that they should use violence instead of valid democratic process to achieve their objectives... isn’t that an unabashed good thing? like, doesn’t it totally delegitimize the political process for a bunch of people who have no business being part of it?
