After a short briefing by my beloved wife I withdraw my statement above and I will further on undoubtedly support Italy.

It goes back much further than that. Churchill sending the troops in in 1911. We've always been the pariah city.
Jesus what’s bunch of moaning cunts on here.
If history is the measure by which you twats judge participation in a fucking footy contest then italy are at least equally detestable as England.
So fuck Italy. Come on England.
I remember little Bobby, @Lippy pal, from the king Harry, telling me about thatIt goes back much further than that. Churchill sending the troops in in 1911. We've always been the pariah city.
I don't know if you seen what Southgate has been saying about colonialism and the war recently but here it is. Good old little England. It was eighty fucking years ago.
“For an island our size we’ve got an incredible influence on the world and we’ve got to keep that in a positive way,” he said. “There are historic things that we should be proud of. We’ve had unbelievable inventions in this country.”
Whereas predecessors as England coach would stick to talking about matters on the field, Southgate has often talked about the role of sports in uniting the country since the 2016 Brexit referendum. And he doesn’t shy away from how the nation has been shaped by military conflicts — and the place victory over Nazi Germany in World War II has in the sense of nationhood.
Southgate brought up how much it resonated that England beat the modern-day Germany 2-0 in the round of 16 at Euro 2020.
“People have tried to invade us and we’ve had the courage to hold that back,” Southgate said. “You can’t hide that some of the energy in the stadium against Germany was because of that. I never mentioned that to the players, but I know that’s part of what that story was.”
England so we can stop hearing about 1966 on repeat every 2 years
That tooImagine how smug Neville will be if they win it. He will believe he was justified about his opinion on Trent.
Well neither did the England football team woland.Of course the scourge of fascism needs to be repelled and shouldn't be forgotten, but Southgate's 'they bombed our chippy' routine only stirs up that kinda nationalism. It's fucking stupid. And anyway the Italians didn't cover up Hillsborough or try to shut Liverpool down.
The English Football Association was/is complicit in one of those.Well neither did the England football team woland.
I'm supporting the country where me, my family, and all my friends and people I knew growing up lived. That's all. There's nothing else to it.I'm not supporting the FA momo. Or the individuals within it. I know what happened.
Maybe we should just be hating on the politicians who are milking it?
