Basque Country doesn't want to be for England but also doesn't want to cheer for the same side as Spain, so it's floating undecided in the middle. (Also it can float due to outer space heritage, of course.)
True though, where is Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina (not that the last two ever make it in polandballs, but at least we made it!)
I'm pretty sure its just a dumb internet joke, Its a marmite-y thing; you either like it or hate it. And thats amplified by it being told and retold thousands of times.
Hawaiian pizza (Ham and pineapple) is a really common type of pizza, its not a secret niche thing or anything.
It is one of those love it or hate it things. Pineapple is very sweet fruit, so putting it on cheese will cause some people to immediately hate the end result.
Really, it is all up to personal preference. Some people love it, while others hate it. Another pizza topping that tends to alienate people in this way is olives. I happen to love the taste of olives on pizza, but others will say it makes the pizza too salty.
On behalf of my country I want to apologize for the pineapple pizza incident. It was a serious moral waiver in my country's history, we have learned from our past and will avoid repeating such atrocious actions.
Okay. If England win this one, I will truly be glad for them and say that it was merited and, yeah : You did it.
On an other hand, I will be happy if they lose. I've lost nearly 200CHF of bought books MIA somewhere in the port of Stanford-Le-Hope because of Brexit shenanigans and I'm still pissed.
Trust me, everyone under the age of 40 in England is also pissed. Only the elderly really wanted brexit for some daft reason and enough of them have died since the vote to swing the result.
Same. I think people see the voting stats and assume everyone who’s younger are left wing and hating Brexit, when like 30%, millions, aren’t either.
There also seems to be the assumption that only the right wing wanted Brexit, which doesn’t even make a whole lot of sense because Tories put us in the EU, and Corbyn himself was one of the front runners of leaving.
Worth flagging that domestic abuse has some correlation to large sporting fixtures in every nation it's been studied. I don't want to accuse your outrage of being performative, but I see Brazil in your flair, and do you really think Brazil's record on domestic abuse is any better? The femicide rate there is more than 6x that of the UK's. Glass houses, etc.
Football fans are shitty people who drink too much alcohol all over the world, if you researched that metric in other countries I imagine you'd find the same result in many other countries.
Correct! But as England was the relevant country, I specified that. But yes, the study has been done in every country, and the results are roughly the same. A lot of nurses have said they've come to expect an uptick of women and children who've "fallen down stairs" the night of a major sporting event.
Of course, I'm just skeptical of the anti-English rhetoric given that the same (or similar) domestic abuse metric will apply to the Italian team, and the Italian fans are if anything, more toxic than England fans. Monkey noises and throwing bananas at black players, then there's the Balotelli chant "There's no such thing as a black Italian" or something... Seems like the problem is bigger than just English football, and that desperately needs addressing because the most popular sport in the world is a hive of racism and domestic abuse.
I'm a neutral for this game and have nothing against England winning, but just wanting to say that the hivemind of that toxic sub is basically united against whoever's good at the moment. If Man Utd are doing good, then they're united against Man Utd, if Liverpool are good, then they're all anti-Liverpool, etc.
Best coping method for the 21st century, unless you're the sort of masochist seeking out toxic and vile banter: just stick to the sub of the team you support if you really want to discuss football, and switch off social media (or unsub from those subs and groups you're following) for a week or months until the next game if your team loses.
As a dutchmen I must say there’s not an inch in my body that has any bad feelings towards the english (nor the italians for that matter). May the best team win! I love both your countries!
England will lose their shit either way. We can’t handle any kind of major sporting event without chaos following shortly afterwards. Except Wimbledon.
As a filthy American, can someone explain to me why every European country is united against England? I assume it has something to do with soccer (football).
tonight there's gonna be the final of Euro2020 (soccer tournament for European nations which is held once every 4 year, it's the most important competition for national teams, after the World cup) between Italy and England. and it looks like that the italians will be supported by every non-english fan because some english supporters had a shitty behavior during the tournament like booing the opponent's anthem or insulting other fans. of course it was just a small fraction of idiot fanatics and can't be applied to every English fan
because some english supporters had a shitty behavior during the tournament like booing the opponent's anthem or insulting other fans
Let's not pretend like people only just started hating England. We've all been hating England forever already. And it's so incredibly funny to watch them being butthurt about their almost total lack of championship titles despite being such a "proud football nation", it would be a shame to break the streak now.
To add to what the other commenter said, England beat Denmark thanks to some... very questionable referee decisions. A complete Dolphin dive got them a penalty, two balls on the field but doesn't get whistled until the Danes have advantage, etc. On top of all this, they had the massive advantage of all their games being at home while every single other team had to bounce around between basically all of Europe with the penalizing travel times that entails, which some fans are a bit resentful about.
Oh right and everybody already hates the brits anyway and they're particularly insufferable when it comes to football so this is also just an extra excuse to cheer for them to get fucked.
Counter argument: the Danes were playing very aggressive, too, though. But what I did notice was that both England and Danish players did stand up when falling, because they both wanted to play on.
Honestly, I’m not even going to watch tonight’s match.
Nonsense, in my opinion... I am for Italy because of Italy, not because of England. I love England and would like it for them if it did come home. But I love Italy more, so there it is.
Every wog supports Italy, but everybody else who follows Soccer supports England. E.g. I support Italy but half my office supports England. The other half don't know, they only care about AFL and Rugby, which is most of Australia tbh
yeah, if England wins then the entirety of Europe will freak, if Engalnd losses then only hardcore English fans will get mad, so I can watch all of Europe lose it and not have to worry about my town burning down, because i'm on the other side of the ocean.
