I think France are the 'best' team left in the tournament so if England win tonight, I believe they have a real chance of going all the way "Yes, it seems that france are the only best team left, so it will be a good test to see if england have what it takes to go further and to win the world cup | |||

To be fair it made me watch the game to it's conclusion as I've never seen footballers go for a full team scrap before

"I assumed as this thread was about tonight's game that everyone would understand it was the men's football I was talking about. I really didn't think I had to explain the very obvious.

well it is England we're talking about. No surprise really is it, just what's expected with England.
I'm not having that as they have played brilliantly and been fouled right left in centre and had really biassed refereeing.
Ok, if England are so good, think back to when they last won a world cup, how many years?
Literally zero. The lionesses won earlier this year. Keep up.
Yes. But we were discussing todays game which is obviously mens football.
That's not what you said though you said England haven't won anything for years not quite true though is it.
I assumed as this thread was about tonight's game that everyone would understand it was the men's football I was talking about. I really didn't think I had to explain the very obvious. So I can repeat just to make it clear...

"A penalty can't be classed as a "good" goal Probably the only way Wngland will win this game though. You are aware penalties are awarded when someone is fouled in the penalty Box meaning that they possibly could have scored anyway right! Hence the word "possibly" Just pointing out the what you said is untrue! You clearly don't understand why a penalty is awarded. Don't I?
Clearly not if you don't believe a penalty is a good goal.

"Lost 7 quarter finals. More than anyone else in the world. That's because we have got into more quarter figures than anybody else. " As suggested, that's the limit perhaps. Can't beat the better teams when it really counts more often than not. The stats suggest this. If you don't knock them out yourself you go out. Bellingham best midfielder in the world.

The England Women's team won the Euros, not the World Cup. In the last few years the Men's team have won the World Cup at under 17 and under 20 level.
Well, they still won and the Mens team bottled as usual
Whats with the eyes? It's true though, they did and they did
As there can be only one winner of any competition I assume you think all the others 'bottled' it ? I guess everyone who isn't successful in everything they do is just a 'bottler' rather than someone who worked hard, did their best but lost out to someone who was better or luckier than them ?
I'd rather acknowledge their efforts and those of their successful opponents rather than mock and belittle those who tried their best.
England have gone out in the knock out stages more than anyone else.
That suggests a problem with pressure. Blowing your chance when it counts
That to me suggests bottling it

That's why they employ sports psychologists etc

England got beaten because they were not good enough. That's a fact"I'm Welsh, as you know. I supported Wales and honestly, was ambivalent about who won last night. But I don't agree that any sportsperson, irrespective of nationality or sport, signs up for abuse. They sign up to play their sport at the highest level and that's it. Whatever is spouted on here about the non English home nations should be nothing to do with whether we think sportspeople are open to excessive criticism and abuse. My comments refer to all sportspeople, not just footballers and not just English or home nations. All sports. All nations. | |||

As there can be only one winner of any competition I assume you think all the others 'bottled' it ? I guess everyone who isn't successful in everything they do is just a 'bottler' rather than someone who worked hard, did their best but lost out to someone who was better or luckier than them ?
I'd rather acknowledge their efforts and those of their successful opponents rather than mock and belittle those who tried their best.
England have gone out in the knock out stages more than anyone else.
That suggests a problem with pressure. Blowing your chance when it counts
That to me suggests bottling it
An interesting approach to mental health and resilience.
That's why they employ sports psychologists etc
And they can always pay for a good counsellor with the millions they earn
Huh? What's money got to do with it..? Nobody wants people to need counsellors surely.
Of course not but just making the point that they don't have financial worries and don't need to worry about heating their homes or choosing between that and eating.
So mental health problems don't affect the rich? What are you on?
Not said that at all did I?

"Maybe Ronaldo has mental health issues? And is struggling right now. After all he was visually upset after his game. " I think he very likely does, yes. It can't have been easy to lose a child. People go back to work after family tragedies all the time and often require extra support. As I've said above, most of us aren't working (and living) in the public eye and making our mistakes live on worldwide broadcast. People like Ronaldo are relentlessly pursued by the media, even in their private lives, which I fundamentally disagree with. | |||

Is it not better that sportspeople don't need counsellors at all? The vitriol spouted by the press and often the British public at sportspeople they perceive to have failed/under performed is toxic and unnecessary. We all have bad days or difficult days at work. Just for most of us, our "failures" aren't broadcast live, worldwide, for all to criticise.
But that is what they signed up for being a high profile team and sorry but I would probably have more sympathy if their wasn't so much vitriol and hate spouted by the fans when these things are aired and people on the forums rinsed the Scottish and the Welsh but nobody stands up and says that's not OK.
England got beaten because they were not good enough. That's a fact
So rather than being a better person you thought you would come here and slate the English? You can't have a go a people for doing something that you have done too.
Not at all. Just saying that they weren't good enough
You didn't say that though did you! You said you were glad the smug look was wiped off the English fans faces, no point pretending you haven't deliberately whipped up controversy in this thread because you have. You are now trying to defend it but it's not working.
Oh Lorna. And you mocked the Scottish someone else on another thread referred to the French in a derogatory way
Have a lovely day, please "I didn't mock the Scottish so that's not true. Was replying to a Scottish woman that was being exceptionally rude about the English team so I asked her how well the Scots are done in this World Cup. That is not mocking anybody as somebody has said above maybe you need to work on your communication skills because what you are saying is not coming across clearly. You seem to think it's not OK for people to mock the Scottish Welsh or French whilst you have mocked the English and in my opinion that is hypocrisy. You then decided to change tact completely And go after the players mental health. | |||

" Ok, if England are so good, think back to when they last won a world cup, how many years?
You forget the Ladies did it
The England Women's team won the Euros, not the World Cup. In the last few years the Men's team have won the World Cup at under 17 and under 20 level.
Well, they still won and the Mens team bottled as usual
Whats with the eyes? It's true though, they did and they did
As there can be only one winner of any competition I assume you think all the others 'bottled' it ? I guess everyone who isn't successful in everything they do is just a 'bottler' rather than someone who worked hard, did their best but lost out to someone who was better or luckier than them ?
I'd rather acknowledge their efforts and those of their successful opponents rather than mock and belittle those who tried their best.
England have gone out in the knock out stages more than anyone else.
That suggests a problem with pressure. Blowing your chance when it counts
That to me suggests bottling it
An interesting approach to mental health and resilience.
That's why they employ sports psychologists etc
And they can always pay for a good counsellor with the millions they earn
Is it not better that sportspeople don't need counsellors at all? The vitriol spouted by the press and often the British public at sportspeople they perceive to have failed/under performed is toxic and unnecessary. We all have bad days or difficult days at work. Just for most of us, our "failures" aren't broadcast live, worldwide, for all to criticise.
But that is what they signed up for being a high profile team and sorry but I would probably have more sympathy if their wasn't so much vitriol and hate spouted by the fans when these things are aired and people on the forums rinsed the Scottish and the Welsh but nobody stands up and says that's not OK.
England got beaten because they were not good enough. That's a fact
So rather than being a better person you thought you would come here and slate the English? You can't have a go a people for doing something that you have done too.
Not at all. Just saying that they weren't good enough
You didn't say that though did you! You said you were glad the smug look was wiped off the English fans faces, no point pretending you haven't deliberately whipped up controversy in this thread because you have. You are now trying to defend it but it's not working.
Oh Lorna. And you mocked the Scottish someone else on another thread referred to the French in a derogatory way
Have a lovely day, please
I didn't mock the Scottish so that's not true. Was replying to a Scottish woman that was being exceptionally rude about the English team so I asked her how well the Scots are done in this World Cup. That is not mocking anybody as somebody has said above maybe you need to work on your communication skills because what you are saying is not coming across clearly. You seem to think it's not OK for people to mock the Scottish Welsh or French whilst you have mocked the English and in my opinion that is hypocrisy. You then decided to change tact completely And go after the players mental health.
I never went after the players mental health. That was mentioned by someone else
So that makes it OK then. And what about the person on another thread. Who referred to the French as 'Froggy' is that OK?
Sorry Lorma. You have long issues with me, you take offence with anything I say. I think you need to step back and leave me alone please.
OK I'm not having you trying pretend that somehow I am targeting you because I am not.
You seemed quite happy having a discussion with me until I pointed out the hypocrisy then it seems to be an issue. No I didn't comment about the froggy comment because I didn't see it is not my job to read every thread and call out every unpleasant comment. I have taken issue with what you have said in this thread as have many others. If you don't want people to disagree with you then don't put disagreeable things on the forum.
Well I feel you do. And I disagree with you on every point.
Good day

I'm very happy for you to disagree with my poit's just rather unfair that you engage in conversation and then when it isn't going your way claim I'm targeting you. "Maybe people were frustrated because like I said, you are quick to jump on And like I said. I disagree, because I feel you do and you have. On other threads, not just this one | |||
