big boys stepping on the court tonight :)

[Mr Pill]

mirin. do you think this makes you more or less of a patriot? i've watched 2 games of my national team outside with the retards (1 football, 1 handball) and/or my friends in my life; all the others i've watched completely alone in my room, because it's such an emotionally intense experience for me. when we beat brazil in qatar, i fell asleep at like 6 PM, when the penalty shootout ended, without any pills or alcohol; i was just that exhausted despite barely moving for 2.5 hours before that. i think i lost 2 kg that afternoon.

I wouldn't say so at all. Going to the pub is the same as going to the supermarket here in the UK, everyone does it and even moreso during the World Cup season. jfl people who couldn't even name a single player on England's roster still pop down to the pub for a drink and a laugh because the vibes and atmosphere is unbeatable. 

i don't enjoy watching footy on my own because i think it dilutes the experience. has to be experienced either with friends in a crowded room or a pub where everyone is getting fucked off their head and shouting at the screen.

the semis in russia were the same. despite us having a phenomenal generation, when trippier scored, knowing the pedigree of basically everyone on england's roster, i kind of gave up hoping we could advance. the remainder of the match is history (even though i enjoyed sticking it to brazilian gypsies despite being inferior much more). 

if a random was here that night when we scored in extra time and when the judge whistled for the end, they d think there is a 7.3 earthquake happening at the centre of zagreb.

whenever England scores a goal this happens. I remember during the last euros season I could hear screaming and cheering from every single pub whenever we scored a goal. poetry.

/thread. the only proper game in the group stage.

I've avoided most of the other matches played so far because it's a world class team against a bunch of inbred somalis (jfl at spain's match though). extremely excited for tonight and I'm not even sure who will win the match. England's defence lineup is terrible this year which is a bad sign, and Tuchel is a nazi agent. then again, modric is a grandpa at this point, so who knows.
