England in the World Cup

Post by blanston12 »

Been following the England team in the world cup, round of 8 match against Norway tomorrow.

It was quite impressive for England to defeat Mexico in Mexico City, but now facing Norway who defeated the always powerful Brazil, how do you feel about their prospects?

Or are you not watching this year?

Oh I was rooting for England and Norway this WC, sad that they have to face each other in a match other than the final.

England has a good team for this WC and an in form striker in Kane, if they are gonna win it some year soon it has to be this year IMHO.

I have watched zero minutes of game coverage so far and I intend to keep it that way until the farce is over. I have as much interest in football/soccer as I do with American football, baseball, basketball and any pugilistic events which is absolutely none. I did get a slight pique of interest when the cheating Americans got their asses kicked out but other than that.....nothing!

Another sad ending.

A not so fun fact, There have been only two occasions this century when a team have scored first in a World Cup semi-final but lost. Both times it was England - against Croatia in 2018 and Argentina in 2026.
