Imagine basing a huge part of your personality on just hating the England football team.
Normally I’m happy for them to do well. I watch and cheer on many of those players year round, so it doesn’t make sense to hate them for a month every couple of years. Southgate seems like a nice enough bloke too.
There’s a limit though. My support and good will ends at the semis. That’s too close to the final. And the final is too close to hearing about 2024 for the next 50 years or until death, whichever comes first.
It’s the English media I hate at tournament time, not the team or 99% of the fans. If not for the media’s relentless, unbearable, over the top pish every single tournament I’d probably be alright with them winning the odd trophy.
I hope the team have a good time and do well.
I do fully suspect english fans are going to leave violence and destruction in their wake win or lose.
