"Anyone reposting that clip of a few idiots in IKEA and using it to judge or comment on our ‘culture’ should take a long hard look at themselves. Your sanctimony is suffocating. Why aren’t you posting one of the endless clips of people happily celebrating and joining in?"
Because its the bad behavior of fans that folk should focus on ...try to changed the mindset, by all means post some up to show how it can be done without offending.
I'll tell you what I'm getting really, really, really, REALLY wound up at is "It's coming home" everywhere.
That lyric was nothing to do with winning anything. It was about the tournament being held on British soil again.
It's coming home is absoloutley about England winning a cup. Yes the tournament was held in England in 96 but the lyrics all refer to us winning again.
"i know that was then but it could be again" there is actually very little in the song that refers to anything other than the hope of England winning tournaments.
I was also our world cup anthem at France 98 and still had the its coming home chorus.
As for the behaviour.... not that big a deal.
As long as people are not fighting in the masses then what is the problem is a whole nation being happy and excited.
if the odd sign being broken (by a few individuals) is collatarell damage for a nations happiness of a nation.... lets break some more in 4 years time.
I think it is very hard to argue that this tournament has not been a mass overall +EV spot for the whole of England
Poor show once again by some England fans....lets hope if they lose a game they dont riot .Must be a great buzz for them, so by all means give it Laldy...but be respectful of others.
