Angepain posted:my prediction: we reach 90 minutes in and nobody scores. Then they try for extra time, and nobody scores. Thirty consecutive free kicks later and nobody scores. The entirety of one team stands on the other edge of the pitch as the other all push the football into the goal. It doesn't go in. None of them can do anything to get the football to go in. They try to concede the match, but their mouths can't form the words. They can't do anything. The fans try to leave, and find all the doors are locked. When they jump out the windows they come back in on the other side. The government is urged into action but Boris Johnson declares that since the place this football is immovably stuck in by forces unknown is in London then it technically means football has, in fact, come home, and so everything is fine actually. The tories gain five points in the polls. Isn't that the SCP about the basketball match and the fans end up forming tribes and cannibalising each other?

forkboy84 posted:As a Scot I think the only position here is to support Italy because Scottish television isn't delivered by the people who also deliver Italian TV but apparently forget that, & I absolutely have never told anyone I am above this farce. I'm so far from being above it. And also because if Italy win I don't have to hear that godforsaken song for...sigh, less than 18 months Something that would make the world really envious of the type of culture that England is producing, you know? I'd get Boris in the video too, waving a flag around with Carrie. (for what its worth, I understand the spite that the Scotch have, I'm just loving sick of hearing it from English progressives, because if they don't care thats absolutely fine, I'm just fed up of hearing them tell me how little they care)

If England wins then they won’t be able to sing Football’s Coming Home because it’ll have come home already. On balance I’d like England to win. The team and manager seem decent and the country will be overall happier. But I don’t care that much. I probably won’t watch.

Oh well we tried and the lads took us further than we’ve been in decades. Good practice for the World Cup.

I must admit it would incredibly funny if after all this build-up England got a 2014 World Cup Final style hammering and lost by something ridiculous like 9-0

I'm quite fond of 'Three Lions' being the totem of English football ambition, because the saccarine original brings with it the existence of 'Three Lions 98' which is a song of true desperation. It even references a 0-0 draw with Italy!

WW2 really did a number on their collective psychology

WW2 really did a number on their collective psychology nationalism without gloating is a pretty normal thing for a country that isn't an absolute state, I'm pretty sure more people than just Orwell have done bits about how the english only make war songs about massive defeats like Waterloo or Light Brigade, and competent retreats like Dunkirk. You only sing about the overwhelming victories of powerful nation states when you've lost to them yourself (like Come Out ye Black and Tans). I'm sure someone itt will know if "two world wars and one world cup" was a thing before thatcher
