Is anyone else not fussed about Englands progress in the euros?

Actually, gobshite, I’m a Scotland supporter. I made money when Costa Rica won the group in 2014 at 50-1 and England crashed out.Laddick01 said:

Ouch. I hope you do win something just to keep morale up. It must be painful supporting Scotland. Sadly the odds on Scotland crashing out aren't as generous for some reason.alan dugdale said:

In all seriousness though why comment? If you're Scottish then this thread doesn't apply to you. You've tried to make it sound like you're English.
Strange behaviour.4 -
You’re right, there’s no value in backing Scotland at current prices. England not to qualify isn’t a bad price at 28-1 though. 5-1 to win the tournament is a joke.Laddick01 said:

I actually think that following England must be as painful because of the expectation levels.
Im not a Scotland fan who despises England, I just think they’re over rated in most tournaments.
Apologies for commenting in a thread that doesn’t apply to me.0 -
Absolutely. I would go further and get every player to take 10 penalties a day with the others trying to put him off behind the goal.LawrieAbrahams said:
I cannot understand why previous managers didn't practise them. Batty said he had never taken one, not even in practice, after he missed. That's ridiculous. They should end every practice session with penalties.DOUCHER said:and penalty shootouts - i would have them practicing every day - of course you can't replicate the pressure but you can increase your chances with the practice, without a doubt in my mind. Pick a spot and do it 20 times a day.
Add up the days' stats and make a list of the best from that.
The argument that you can't replicate is nonsense. It's like an actor taking the stage without rehearsals. It's never the same as on the night but you have to rehearse / practise.0 -
I think that they should have made it January. Audience figures would definitely be higher. There's too much other stuff going on in December.cafcdave123 said:
I’m kind of looking forward to it in a way, be interesting to see if it has the same buzz, can imagine Xmas parties being arranged around it which would be pretty good for some but fucking horrendous for othersElthamaddick said:
absolutely this - the WC in the run up to xmas just won't feel the same!AllHailTheHen said:One interesting thing on reading these comments is peoples' love of a summer tournament. Just another reason to think a winter World Cup held in Qatar is going to be pretty shit

orpingtonRED said:Italia 90 for me was the 1st tournament as a kid I really got into and since then I have continued. You would think by now that I would be used to disappointment and not get upset when England fail, but nope it still hurts me every time. I don't cry as much as I used to do though😀
You are Charlton, you are well used to it.

Couldn't give a monkeys really regarding international's, the few I have watched in recent years have been a real bore, and usually turn off. Appreciate I will no doubt be in a minority, but there you are, you asked the question and I have given my honest answer.
Having said that, I wish them good luck for the sake of all the fans watching and the country in general in these difficult times.

Charlton getting one point in League One, over England Winning the Euros. This must be the most insane thing I have ever read on this website.LargeAddick said:no, I'm not really bothered about how England do. Why I'm not sure but probably due to 50 years of being let down time and time again by underperforming highly paid players who a lot of the time don't look like they give a toss. And I've always said if I had the choice of England say winning these Euros or Charlton taking a point in the first game of the season then I'd take the point all day long.16 -

A month of glorious football starts now. Cmon!!!!5 -
Any Englishman who likes football and says they are not interested in how their National team does are dead from the neck up as far as I’m concerned .
This tournament has nothing to do with Charlton so stop comparing them .Get behind your country !!Come on England !!! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

My oh My how a difference of opinion divides a forum...thank goodness for free speech and varying ideas, how boring life would be should we all think the same things at the same time. 3

Would people take an interest in England if we had 2 Charlton players starting?
Im just trying to get my head wrapped around loving a sport and not following your country.0 -

Country over club for me always has been, not because I have less love for Charlton but following your country means something different.0

Always flicked up by a tourney , I’ve watched less and less of the qualifying stuff as time goes by , other commitments and almost knowing we’d win against pure guff and in all honesty with palace cruising in the Prem match of the day hasn’t been watched in 7-8 years and prem footy I’m watching less and less of so I don’t know all of the players .
Loved the game last night, can’t wait for Sunday , as I’m older I prefer to watch the game sober and with family for the mental loop if we score cos pissed i forget everything and i really hate people .
Come next Friday when we play the sweatys I’ll be foaming at the mouth as if it was a fixture against the scum !
Come on England 🏴3 -
I was born in Croydon and lived near Selhurst park for a lot of my life. But I don't really care much about Palace. Still have a fondness for Liverpool though because I went to university there and enjoyed watching from the Kop. I was born and raised in England but I don't really care much about the England football team for some reason. No idea why I've never taken to them. I usually want my favourite players to do well in the World Cup or Euros. My favourite players are rarely English - but sometimes they are ! Certainly I would want any team with Charlton players to do well and beat England!ValleyGary said:Would people take an interest in England if we had 2 Charlton players starting?

A tournament has a special excitement that isn't replicated in day to day football. It is a treat to follow England, but also watch competitive games one after the other. Who would be interested in Wales v Switzerland? I am really looking forward to it. The anticipation of England's game tomorrow is a constant. Will Southgate go for it, will we click? Tournaments are special.1

Wasn't overly fussed originally, but I'm well up for it now0

Feel sorry for you then.Billericaydickie said:
Not a lie at all.ValleyGary said:
haha Just an outright lie isn't itBillericaydickie said:My love of England stopped abruptly in 2006 following the Darren Bent snub by Erickson.
When Sven took Theo Walcott to the World Cup, and despite being short of strikers and left Darren Bent behind, with Darren being the leading English goal scorer in the premiership I vowed never to support England ever again. I have kept to this vow.
Pre 2006 I attended a lot of England matches, since 2006 I take zero interest in England. I couldn’t even tell you who England are playing or when the competition starts.
I couldn’t give a toss who England are playing.
I honestly don’t know who England’s opponents are, or when the matches are being played.4 -
I'll be honest; there was lad who scored for England in one of the friendlies that I genuinely had never heard of (Arsenal player...Saka?)
In normal times I go to football every Saturday either to watch Charlton or Hendon but I've become almost totally detached from The Premier League & Champions League. Until a couple of weeks ago, I didn't even realise there was a Euro Championship this summer!
Anyway...I might watch a bit of it, not least because I've got Italy in the cricket club sweepstake.1 -
Will people be moaning a lot on here later on if Grealish is left out?
I don’t know how match fit he is at the moment, and whether he’ll be suited for coming on from off the bench.
Never been as excited as this for a 1-1 draw!0
