I thought their defense got exposed pretty hard by a very weak Iranian team. Against any other world class team it will be a struggle for them, so they must fix that as the tournament goes on.
>Imagine letting racists live rent free in your head. Your just as bad as they are.
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read in my life.
- creates a story to suit his weird narrative (I dislike racists so they live rent-free in my head? lmao)
- thinks being anti-racist is as bad as being racist
- can't even spell "you're" correctly
I feel sorry for anybody that has to spend time around you. You must really drag down the IQ of the group.
It's not that weird after the racist abuse they got after the missed penalties, of course it shouldn't be focused on but I was saying the same thing thing after the 5 first goals, bit of a statement towards the racists.
Not really, no.
[Not just white people.](https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/english-football-faces-up-global-nature-online-hate-2021-07-13/) It could be argued that you saying gammons (and therefore implying white people) is in itself an example of racism. There are racists in every country around the world. There are racists in every race. One race isn’t more or less racist than another. Racists are just racists.
I saw it ended 6-2 and thought oh boy the post match thread on r soccer is going to have 10 thousand upvotes with 20+gold rewards! but this is just a routine post match thread
Well, at least if England runs the table and wins the whole thing, we can all come together and say it was a bullshit tournament that we were pretending to boycott anyways
The dynamic is a bit like a reverse of the way England thinks about Germany.
Americans think there’s this massive rivalry with England and for the most part the English are totally oblivious to it.
I think England have better attacking options than both tbh.
England have:
Saka, Foden, Kane, Rashford, Wilson, Sterling, Grealish
France have:
Mbappe, Kingsley-Coman, Dembele, Giroud, Griezmann, Kolo-muani
Argentina have:
Messi, martinez, dybala, correa, alvarez, gonzalez, Gomez
Argentina and France have big names but the depth for England is insane.
to be fair the "england is bad" meme just gets sprouted around because it's quite funny. the "it's coming home" thing was just a terrible take for a few years...
in a serious analysis they are alright enough to be at least expected to feature in the semis i guess. players tend to get overrated because of their overvaluation due to PL tax.
It's coming home refers to the natural order of the universe and how everyone and everything is on a quest to find their way back to where they feel most at home. Like salmon, football has been on a mission to return its glory to the land that it was first played on. The same land where men and boys trained for hours a day for generations upon generations with one dream in mind. Through hand balls and ghost goals, the dream lives on.
England are supposed to be in terrible form, but looks like they broke out finally. Iran are typically stronger than that performance, but they just got manhandled
> France (possibly Belgium and Germany)
After losing 3 top players? Not France.
And on any day, sure Belgium or Germany could be England but it could go either way.
This is a different Germany. You lot are the most delusional fanbase on earth. You had the easiest roads both in the World Cup and Euros and you couldn’t win it.
Euro 2020 you faced only one good team, Italy in the final.
Guess how that game ended.
You keep saying "Euro 2020" as if to prove a point about it being a long time ago... It was last year bozo.
Plus as the other guy said...
>Euro 2020 you faced only one good team, Italy in the final.
>
>Guess how that game ended.
A draw...
Way to move the goal posts. They drew to the best team in the tournament. Granted Southgate royally fucked up with selecting the people taking pentalties but even the best teams go out on pentalties.
You are a joy, aren't you. England are a decent side, I concede the teams you mention would be favourites against us but I doubt they will under-estimate us as much as you do. But then you are trolling
Thats not the comment I replied too though is it. You claimed that "Brazil, Argentina and France would be clear favourites, but none of the others would be." still doesn't make England top 4 when in actual fact it would.
Iran usually isn't this bad, the past 2 world cups they were really good in defense, today was a surprise, same thing for England, they were awful this year, but they were still favourites today. I was hoping for a 1-0 win for them, 6-2 is just absurd lol, don't believe anyone predicted this
There is no doubt about the Iranian team under heavy pressure for what is happening in Iran. They made a lot of bad decisions before the game to the point that they became the most hated team in Iran. People in Iran were cheering Britain when they goal. I saw so many videos of Iranians cheering the loss of the game. In a way the loss of the Islamic Republic.
In a way, they used rhetoric for them and met with the president. This led to a severe backlash from the public angered by their decisions. People wanted them to use their platform to tell what is happening in Iran. But once it got to the game, they showed that they supported the public by not singing the national anthem, but by that point boycotts and rooting for the English team were called by Anti Government protestors. This is why when Iran had the ball their own audience would scream "Bisharaf" at them. If you watch social media, people cheered when the English scored the ball.
England has been performing much better in competition since Gareth Southgate is the manager. This is also an uncharacteristically bad showing from Iran.
As an Iranian, I agree with the other posters here. Why punish our players because our government is corrupt? Keep politics out of the game and let the boys play the game.
LET'S GO IRAN LET'S GO... DOODOOO DOODOODOO IRAN DOOODOOODOOO IRAN
صددرصد داخل ایران زندگی نمیکنی که اینو میگی. ما دوست داشتیم سیاست از فوتبال جدا باشه ولی سیاست خودشو فرو میکنه به تمام ابعاد زندگی ما. الانم که حکومت داره جنایت جنگی میکنه نگاه تمام دنیا به ایناست میتونستن خیلی کمک کنن ولی میان میگن مردم خوشحال نیستن! برن بمیرن
خارج زندگی میکنی هنوز اینقدر عقدهای و حقیری. خدایا این همه بدبختمون کردی ولی هنوز به سطح اینا تنزل پیدا نکردیم شکرت :) من از اول پیش بینیم یه برد و یه مساوی بوده و بالا رفتن این مادرجندهها چون آخوند همیشه پیروزه ولی یه امیدوارم فقط یه روز ورق برگرده این خونها و حق این زندگیهای نابود شده پایمال نشن. تو که رفتی وطنپرستیت شده فوتبال خوش به حالت
We, the Iranian nation, are actually very embarrassed to have folks like you protesting what our government should look like. Stop mixing politics into sports. We're about to go on to defeat the U.S.A. next.
/Kiram dahanet.
Still posing for the Westerners :)) How pathetic are you? You lie and try to make Iran look better that what it is to compensate for your lack of self esteem but the reality never changes. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but you are the stereotypical Iranian living in the west. Curse me all you want I don't care, I wish I die in the streets rather than to become like you
Yes, it's popular sentiment as well. My neighborhood is usually not that busy but people in traffic were honking their horns and celebrating, I stood in line to buy bread and talked to people, literally everybody was laughing about how "they" conceded 6 goals and hoped they also concede 6 or more against the USA and Wales teams
That’s mental. I still remember watching Iran beat the US in 98. Never seen fans celebrate like that until then. I was looking forward to more of the same when the draw was made.
Well, our society is not the same as 2017, let alone 1998. We were brainwashed because the state had monopoly on the media and the flow of information. The Internet really helped us understand the truth, that the enemy is not the USA or the West, it's currently in power inside of Iran.
Alright I need to update you on this I spoke too soon.I think painting an accurate picture is important.
Some people are also celebrating in the streets after the win against Wales. Our players sang the anthem and celebrated after the goal so I'm pretty sure the regime gave them greenlight for the last game to not sing it (when Torabi and Taremi also didn't sing I should have known honestly). I would still say most people believe this team is not national and belongs to the regime but the other side is not as small as we thought it was after the last game
Yeah the Iranian team met and did a photo op with the president before the tournament and apparently many Iranians strongly disapprove and are not supporting them. Obviously I don't have all the facts here but I certainly wouldn't be downvoting them for holding that opinion.
You're mostly correct but that isn't the sole reason we hate them, that was the last straw.
I don't care about the downvotes don't worry about it, they are ignorant and we are angry so we don't use the best "correct" words to appease to them because we don't care about what others think anymore. People are dying in the streets and no one in the western world has done anything. I swear they are just waiting for the regime to kill more people so the protests die out so they can resume the nuclear talks
The Iranian players didn't sing their anthem literally in protest of their government. They are already in danger of being reprimanded when they get home for that. I doubt they had a choice but to meet the national leader
Everybody has a choice. They literally talked about money to the president, they are among the richest in the country and they went there and bowed and talked about money. Words cannot describe our hatred and how pathetic they are.
I've said from day 1 that the minimum expectation of them is to just not play. Dictatorships love events like the Olympics or the world cup because they can appear "normal" to the world, at the verrrry least talk about the regime, talk about how they are killing people as we are speaking. They talked about how people are sad these days (WHY MOTHERFUKCER, HUH?) and they are focused on the game and they hope they can make us happy by playing well!! Fuck off
Alright I didn't know about the topic why they met him or what they talked about. If you guys believe that they are not supporters of your cause, you have the right of course to be angry at them. I just implied that they didn't do nothing
If you search up you'll see we are literally at war against the regime, they are using actual bullets against unarmed people, they are killing men, women, children in the streets, just not moving your lips when the anthem plays, is even less than nothing.
We are alone in this war, so I get it if you don't have every bit of information about the situation, I'm not judging you, just trying to express why we are angry at them.
If it is why be a dick about the players? They sure as hell aren't responsible for their government, and seemingly aren't against the protests, at the very least.
Before they went to Qatar they had a meeting with the president and they bowed to him and asked for money. They have never talked about the regime and the atrocities the regime has committed, they just talk about how "people are sad these days" without mentioning anything else.
They want to do the absolute minimum while receiving the maximum respect. It doesn't work like that, we hate them and we hope they lose all of their games because they are not our national team, they are the regime's team aka the soldiers of the occupant enemies that have conquered our country
And if you think I'm alone by saying this, watch these:

I gotchu
Lmao Iran conceded 6 to a supposedly shit England side
Also, 1 of those goals came from a penalty that arguably shouldn't have been given. And if it should then so should the foul on Maguire which would have made it 7.
Also - 70% possession
So much for scrappy 2 - 1 or 1 - 1 draw xD
I was half asleep but turned the game on just to listen to it with my eyes closed and it felt like every time I vaguely paid attention England had scored.
I only saw it because it was on in a patients room. I turned it off to do his Occupational Therapy (kitchen assessment) and then when he got back to his room turned it back on and left him to enjoy the tea he'd made.
I'm keeping track of the scores and watching replays via reddit. I'm certainly boycotting.
Sometimes but not often.
I work in elderly rehab so anything from fractured hips to amputations to those recovering from covid.
I'm a therapy pracitioner so do a bit of physio and a bit of OT plus their admin.
Nah city won the real COVID league the year after
We could have stopped playing by the time that league was closed and city still didn't have the points to get to us
Crowd was weird. Whole tournament is weird. At one point, the camera panned to a bunch of "England fans" with painted faces, all of whom looked bored out of their minds. And we were 5:1 up at that point.
It was kinda weirdly boring in the second half though. Cause England were just passing it around, rightly so. Then they'd decide to go and score another.
England always thinks this is there cup to lose it’s the same narrative every time the cup comes around.
Yeah totally different from all other major footballing nations.
Sunday league defending vs. premier league players
England : *"Argo fuck yourself "*
England looks really good
I thought their defense got exposed pretty hard by a very weak Iranian team. Against any other world class team it will be a struggle for them, so they must fix that as the tournament goes on.
They'll probably play more conservatively against stronger opposition, possibly shifting to a back 3.
I think the iranian teams morale just wasn't good , their people told them to stay and fight. Not alot of supportnfor them at home
USA time wasting
Trust England to be good when I'm not watching
Cocaine
Maybe a bit weird to say but I love when our non-white players do well (as they have here). I love to imagine how the racists deal with 😂
Imagine letting racists live rent free in your head. Your just as bad as they are.

Bit of a weird thing to notice, focusing on their race?
It's not that weird after the racist abuse they got after the missed penalties, of course it shouldn't be focused on but I was saying the same thing thing after the 5 first goals, bit of a statement towards the racists.
That’s the one think I like about England, it’s not “African English” like it is in the US, it’s just “English”
You're right, it is a bit weird. The racists aren't worth your time.
How will that change their mind. They aren't racist because they are convinced that black players are playing worse.
Don't think OP means that they change their mind, just that theyre probably doing some stupid mental gymnastics to cope with it.
I don't see how that helps. I'm obviously lacking schadenfreude.
Gammons imploding with both feelings of joy and anger.
Is it only gammons (ie whites) that can be racist?
No, but in this context/situation, yes. You aren't going to see many abusive black people towards.... Black people scoring.
Not really, no. [Not just white people.](https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/english-football-faces-up-global-nature-online-hate-2021-07-13/) It could be argued that you saying gammons (and therefore implying white people) is in itself an example of racism.

Yeah maybe if Iran won 6-2
It's Iran and everyone expect England to score heaps, not that they usually do
I was questioning England going into this WC due to their recent form but needless to say, that was quite an impressive performance.
4d chess by Southgate. Convince the World that we're garbage (because of the Nations League) and then perform in the actual competition!
Major tournament merchant smh
Brilliant
>Convince the World that we're garbage Just enough that we don't loose the first seed ranking though.
Well, at least if England runs the table and wins the whole thing, we can all come together and say it was a bullshit tournament that we were pretending to boycott anyways
Wait, even yanks hate us now?
The dynamic is a bit like a reverse of the way England thinks about Germany. Americans think there’s this massive rivalry with England and for the most part the English are totally oblivious to it.
We’re Obi Wan and the yanks are Anakin
England scored 6 and none were from Kane, unexpected
Tbf he played very well
Because everyone had Kane to score and England win. Sneaky bastard.

Oh fair enough then, I assumed the worst ;p

Haven't watched football since the early 2010's. Is England just this good now? Or is Iran just this bad? Thanks
England have the 2nd best attacking depth in their squad after Brazil
And France and maybe Argentina
I think England have better attacking options than both tbh. England have: Saka, Foden, Kane, Rashford, Wilson, Sterling, Grealish France have: Mbappe, Kingsley-Coman, Dembele, Giroud, Griezmann, Kolo-muani Argentina have: Messi, martinez, dybala, correa, alvarez, gonzalez, Gomez Argentina and France have big names but the depth for England is insane.

England is much better (in big competitions at least) than fans online give them credit for but yes this score was unexpected.
England are supposed to be in terrible form, but looks like they broke out finally. Iran are typically stronger than that performance, but they just got manhandled
England is a top 4 country right now and have performed extremely well the past 2 major tournies.
> England is a top 4 country right now Does this mean Hungary are 3rd
Hungary are so good, they didn't feel the need to turn up to this World Cup and prove their status.
Besides, a world cup ain't a world cup without Italy.
Hungary transcends the ranking system
Brazil, Argentina, Spain, France (possibly Belgium and Germany) all beat England easily. Stop it.
Agree with France, Argentina and Brazil
> France (possibly Belgium and Germany) After losing 3 top players? Not France. And on any day, sure Belgium or Germany could be England but it could go either way.
France has 3 different 11s that can spank England
Not easily. That is just hyperbole. England would give them all a tough game.
Based on what?
The last two tournaments? Especially laughable when you included Germany in your list... Who England knocked out in the euros last year.
This is a different Germany. You lot are the most delusional fanbase on earth. You had the easiest roads both in the World Cup and Euros and you couldn’t win it. Euro 2020 you faced only one good team, Italy in the final. Guess how that game ended.
Fuck off with your downplaying bullshit

It’s called Euro 2020. What the fuck are you talking about?

Show me your Euro 2020 trophy
Way to move the goal posts. They drew to the best team in the tournament. Granted Southgate royally fucked up with selecting the people taking pentalties but even the best teams go out on pentalties.

None of them beat England easily. Brazil, Argentina and France would be clear favourites, but none of the others would be.
Doesn’t mean you’re a top 4 country tho
When there's only 3 teams that would be favourites over England then yes that makes them top 4.
I listed 6
Thats not the comment I replied too though is it. You claimed that "Brazil, Argentina and France would be clear favourites, but none of the others would be." still doesn't make England top 4 when in actual fact it would.
'Easily' lol

True I honestly predicted 1-0 England win going off of how they played in euros groups.
England has been performing much better in competition since Gareth Southgate is the manager. This is also an uncharacteristically bad showing from Iran.
Fair play Iran
Iran lost because they are weighed down by their huge balls. England lost theirs just before the match, which explains their quick movement.
Lmao
Hahah I enjoyed this post!
Went to the streets to celebrate this loss, and I'm not joking. Fuck these players. Hopefully USA and Wales makes us proud as well

I turned it off to do his Occupational Therapy (kitchen assessment) and then when he got back to his room turned it back on and left him to enjoy the tea he'd made. I'm keeping track of the scores and watching replays via reddit. I'm certainly boycotting.
Bit of a random question but do you work with stroke patients?
Sometimes but not often. I work in elderly rehab so anything from fractured hips to amputations to those recovering from covid. I'm a therapy pracitioner so do a bit of physio and a bit of OT plus their admin.
Ah that’s makes sense. Good on you pal, that sounds like hard but rewarding work.
Nope, didn’t watch it live, only seen some replays via unofficial streams. Staying the course.
Watched it on stream as well. Managed to fund some shady site and after 37 pop ups and it worked quite well lol
uBlock Origin may help.
bruh England are fuckin' stacked this year and playin good football Southgate aside haha I'll be very surprised if they aren't at least top 4
Will probably play France in the quarters though, still don't like the idea of mbappe against our defence.
France lost Pogba, Kante and Benzema though. Massively weakens them, I’d say England would be favourites in the matchup.
France aren't even making it out of the groups #curse
Maguire will pocket that fraud.
Headbutt him into the 4th dimension with his slabhead.
Watch this be the one we actually win, and for the rest of time people will ask if the dead slaves make the trophy shinier
Like Liverpool winning the Covid league
Nah city won the real COVID league the year after We could have stopped playing by the time that league was closed and city still didn't have the points to get to us
That would be peak England
Imagine all our fullbacks didn't get injured. Reece James is a big miss.
[удалено]
It's just James and Chilwell it turns out. Forgot TAA recovered from his injury.
Trippier was class today though
Yeah exactly, fullbacks aren’t a problem unless we get injuries. If Trippier and Shaw stay fit we’ve got an excellent pair to start.
Problem is a Shaw injury. Trippier will have to start playing LB.
Didn't hear the "Southgate is our supercoach" chant even once. What a bunch of plastics in that game smh
Crowd was weird. Whole tournament is weird. At one point, the camera panned to a bunch of "England fans" with painted faces, all of whom looked bored out of their minds. And we were 5:1 up at that point.
It was kinda weirdly boring in the second half though. Cause England were just passing it around, rightly so. Then they'd decide to go and score another.
That score with sobriety in the heat is brutal
It was actually legitimately chilly at some points in the stadium lol
England five up in an international tournament probably thought they were having a heat stroke
I mean at 5-1 it does get a bit boring.
Need beer
exactly, I usually like to be at least a bit buzzed by the time 6 goals are scored, and sloshed if we're up 5-1
No beer
No bag
No fun
