lake district canary 4,551 Posted June 12, 2021 I find it very difficult to get interested in international football, but this one feels different with quite a few Norwich players involved. By my reckoning there are four teams to watch out for - or have I missed any? Netherlands Finland Poland Scotland I will be supporting these teams throughout, hoping for a Netherlands/Finland final. Which teams do you want to see in the final? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I lost interest in the England football set up a long time ago and the mediocre way it has been set up by the FA over many years. I also don't like some of the English players being used, nor particularly think Southgate is the best man for the job. The international flavour of our club team and the way I can relate to the excellent characters we have in it, means I really want them all to do well. England? I'm sorry, but it's a "meh" from me. I know we have plenty of people on here who aren't English, or who like me are disillusioned with England, which is why I asked the question in the op. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

England for me isn't about liking the players, even liking the style of football it's pure and simply an in burning desire to see us win something before I bloody die. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the others I just don't particularly like watching play. Mount for one. Henderson. Not even Kane. Never liked watching Walker either, for Sterling looks jaded and off form.

KeiranShikari 1,470 Posted June 12, 2021 I can't stand a lot of the current England team (Sir Kneelford and Sterling especially) so I'll probably end up enjoying the games which involve Norwich players more too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you're not going to support England just because there are three players you don't like? Going against an entire group because of the odd alleged bad egg is frowned upon by most of society. And besides, Finland and the Netherlands probably have a couple of bellends every bit as bad in their squad, but you just don't know enough about them to know that.

No, I said earlier, it's historical, I switched off from it years ago and it doesn't therefore take much to re-inforce that view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,458 Posted June 12, 2021 This really is crass even by Lakeys standards . I know he was struggling when he lost his place to Cambridge , but now we seem to have fallen into a Lakey template thread . 1 . Think of a contrary view. Today’s is , “I don’t support England “ 2. Watch the thread for inevitable reaction 3. Respond frequently . Keeping the thread at the top of the page . No one responds to their own thread quite like Lakey. It really is so pointlessly boring .
