World Cup 2018

Darned cockwombles.
Panama, Tunisia, Belgium's reserve team, Colombia, Sweden, Croatia/Russia... thats a fairly jammy path to the final and its not impossible they'll make it that far.

Will still lose in the end though. Can't see them beating any of the 4 teams on the other side.

Heretic 🔥

Deservedly knocked out in the playoffs by Denmark, which is a shame because we made it as far as England in Euro 2016 despite being a nation of only 5 million with a very underdeveloped domestic football league.

We did knock Wales out of the group though, so there's that.

I wish Ireland had been in the tournament, would have saved us from Roy and Martin O'Neill on punditry duties for ITV.

true fact: the only properly English monarchs of England were the Welsh Tudors, everyone else was actually German or French

this is your history Lucius

And European Championship semi-finalists in 2016. Nothing to prove after that mystical quest to the heart of the Eurodream. If Brazil don't beat Belgium by at least 3-1 on Friday, Wales are officially better than them, and by extension any other football team ever.

Plus our anthem is better than most countries' pop music. Certainly our own.

now despite not caring about soccer at all I'm actually getting amped up for ENGLAND to bring it home

Swedes jump out to a 2-0 lead, buoyed by a rousing pre-game pep talk from Robyn and The Knife siblings

reanimated corpse of Winston Churchill gives even more rousing speech to English players at halftime, they come back to tie it up

in 17th minute of stoppage time Harry Kane smashes a free kick thru an impenetrable Swedish shield wall to win it for The Lads

don't see how they're going to make it past shirtless bear-wrestling Putin tho

The World Cup turned out to be way better than expected, saw many enjoyable games so far. Much better tournament than the Euro 2016.
