Couldn't help the misty eyes at the end. Must be getting old!
Same here. It feels fantastic to be in a WC semi final again. Absolutely fan fucking tastic. Funny how we do best when we have a manager who comes across trying to be a gentleman. 1966, 1990, 2018. (Even if Alf did come from Dagenham)
Only 20 years old, and I know this is silly because you have no idea what calibre of players are going to come out of this country from now, but feels like the best chance I'll ever get to see us do this.
It's completely taken over the nation.
Every bar/pub you go in to it is all anybody is talking about. It doesn't matter what team you support, everybody loves eachother.
Never felt so proud to be English, and never felt so at home in my home country. It's special, really special - drink it in.
We’re in Carcassonne , France. The guy in concierge found us a bar showing the match, great news, only to find out it was a stream over the net, signal cut out a few times during the match, oh my days ‘‘twas bleeding tense.
Couldn’t celebrate too hard as there was a guy wearing a Swedon shirt close by.
Lionel the Barman kept s steady stream of Amstels coming ( I knew he’d finally show up in the World Cup!)
I can’t believe we’re in the semi finals!!!
Eurostar doesn’t get back into London till 8 o clock Wednesday night, which means we’ll probably miss the first half.
When we booked this the wife said to me, you do realise the World Cup will be on, at which point I said , yeah it’s all right, we won’t do anything!
Got me England bunting on the balcony, England shirt on, and have also packed a massive England Flag, going to take it down into the town tonight and let the Frenchies know it’s coming home!!
Fucking marvelous, just had some random Portuguese bloke shout "Congratulations" at me in the street. Swedish mates in the bar said we deserved it and they are cheering us from now on.
With the exception of brexit I cant think of anything more satisfying since that era
I feel the direct opposite of the brexit result this evening. We’re not doomed to be “finlandized” by russia (as the poisonings are now showing) but playing our way.

Lucky sod, Carcassonne is a bit kitsch but beautiful. Love it there.
If the wanker I'm working with gives it "did you watch the football" on Monday, after saying we ain't going nowhere and mugging off the result against Panama, I'm sticking my pozidriver through his forehead

No court in the land would convict you either.
You will of course be deported to Devil's island with Papillon and Dreyfus if you do this in France.

I’m checking flights and hotels for next weekend but don’t want to tempt fate. If I wait until after the game on Wednesday it will probably be too late.

I say do it now rather than waiting. If England don't make it, you're still in Moscow the for the World Cup final.

European Unity, it's what it's all about...
Just fuck off and let us enjoy our moment. Some proper freaks about.
World Cup quarter finals and we pretty much strolled through it.
If you cannot get a little bit of happiness out of this day, well....
Why you are on a football forum I have no idea?
Wum
I fucking love this country.

What to do?
