Ah but that was not a football comment, it was a "people hate England" comment. And here is the shock for you, I'm Welsh though I've lived in England most of my life.

The sheer hatred for England I have noticed on the internet almost borders on psychosis. I don't know about you, but I think it is bad.

People don't hate England. The crowd behaved poorly (to put it mildly) during the match against Denmark and this is just a reflection of that. Personally, I'm over the whole football thing.

Always when there’s sports involved (seemingly especially football), people make fun of other countries. As Johnz mentioned, people don’t hate England. Maybe England got more than their share thanks to the famous minority of less-than-attractively behaving fans… I just saw it also as a comment about Brexit. I don’t spend much time online so I wasn’t even aware of some wave of psychotic anti-English attitudes and truly apologise if I offended you. As an avid NMA fan, there’s a limit of how anti-English one can be anyway :)

But but but… What it comes to the outcome of the match, holy crap… Losing in penalties? That’s the worst way if you ask me… Worst way to lose or to win for that matter. I don’t have much enthusiasm for football, but what it comes to ice hockey… Finland lost against Canada in the ice hockey world championship final this year, on over time… I was fuming! I mean, after I got up from my depressed stupor, leaning my forehead on the table… Canada, (sorry Canadians here…) they did not even deserve to be in the final this year!!! I mean, they sucked so bad at the beginning of the games that it was historical – they were, first time ever, about to be dropped out before quarter finals!!! They got to quarter finals only because Germany won Latvia on over time and not on the actual game time!!! Well obviously they picked up rather well from there, that’s sports for you, but damn was I upset :)

This map reminds me of similar maps of England / Europe in 1940.

Hey, don't worry, we have been in training for decades how to cope with being knocked out in penalties  ::)
