Perhaps this will be “bumped” by the Glorious Admin (Happy to oblige – NA) but nevertheless this article helps to illustrated both the enshittification of “news journalism” and the moronic attitude of Our BBC.
“Losing at football can cause more of a sting than in other sports, says Dr Martha Newson from the University of Greenwich.
“Few people are going to cry and get upset about whoever loses Wimbledon,” explains the behavioural scientist.
“Football is different… we talk about the national team like it’s us out there.”
For supporter Oli Portlock, an England loss feels like a “national funeral… a big grey cloud over the nation when England’s been knocked out”..
Arse piss.
This step by step guide to being a total cunt is akin to the Nanny Statism that has thoroughly fucked out once great nation.
“If you find yourself reaching for the crisps or cookies, it is not all down to a lack of willpower.
“We do find that fans consume more calories after a loss,” Newson says, probably due to an unconscious “evolutionary” desire to protect yourself after losing.
Everyone has different ways of coping, she says, but the important thing is to “trust your instincts” – and being with others, resting, and opening up tend to be the best options”..
Remarkable.
How can anyone British even begin to entertain thoughts such as these?
Fuck me Argentinian this has to be a new low.
PS: The tactic of trying to spend forty odd minutes defending a one goal lead in a World Cup semi final is fucking idiotic..and has been tried before with predictable results.
Tuchel? Oven.
Nominated by : Unkle Terry
Kind of fitting that Spaniards beat Moose Limbs again.
My previously attempted term for the latter hit moderation.

It would be worth winning to never hear FUCKING ‘Three Lions’ ever again, truly one of the worst songs of all time. The twat pair have such weedy grating voices and the Lightning Seeds are the Lighthouse Family of synthesiser pop. It’s coming home, it’s coming home, football’s a pile of shit for overpaid cunts from Africa.

Sorry to ask, wokeUp but where are you heading that ear cringing dirge. Are they knocking on your door and bursting into song, or is it inside your head. I think you could be the reason for having the volume to high. I always make sure the volume is off when it’s anything to do with sport.

By sheer timing coincidence, the real Argentina v England game is tomorrow evening, should be a lot less conservative play, some blood spilled and no mincing around.

Well as the dust settles on yet another exit from an international tournament for the country formerly known as England, it would appear that the blame game is in full swing.
If I was Tuchel I would get the fuck out now with his managerial credentials just about in tact.
I have never felt more detached from an England football side in my entire life as I have with these cunts.
The ghosts of 2021, the actions of Southgate and his band of cowardly social justice warriors still looms over everything England football related.
Harry Kane with his fake accent is a cunt as is Jude Bellendingham with his shit celebration.
The sycophantic commentators on the idiot lantern talking bollocks with that arsehole Alan Shearer carrying on like some low IQ cave dweller who’s just discovered wanking as a pundit/co commentator.
The highly dubious way that the most loathsome English hating leftist bastards in this country all suddenly becoming England fans was also unsettling.
Cunts such as Zara Sultana and Tash Sarker.
The truly fucking awful Sweet Caroline, Hey Jude and Wonderwall being belted out after defeating the titans of Congo and Panama.
Harry Kane with his squeaky voice after the Mexico game – fuck off mouth breather.
Truth of the matter is is that when England face a top opponent, they go out and that has always been the case.
The hype was almost suffocating by Wednesday afternoon – it’s coming home they said (something else that boils my piss)
One major trophy in fuck knows how many years compared to the multiple titles won by Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy or Spain in the same period.
Most importantly of all though and something that shouldn’t be understated – an England win would have resulted in the diversity of the squad (or lack of) being used as a proverbial battering ram for more mass immigration.
A bullet dodged. Again.

The English game is overseen by the FA, which is a state quango. The British state is shit at everything it does and the 500 odd quangos, wasting hundreds of billions of pounds every year, are mostly staffed by useless, Oxbridge cretins indoctrinated with all the modish ideas about things. Think, BBC. Southgate didn’t get the idea about taking the knee on his own.
They are shit at building infrastructure, shit at military stuff, shit at the arts, shit at sport, shit at everything. It is why this country suits a smaller, more efficient state. We have never been good at the euro big state thing, so it is better to just leave the wider society to figure things out and then excel, by accident rather than design, in certain areas. There will never be a centralised plan and government action that delivers world beating results in this country. Even the British empire at its expansionist and really successful stages was driven by companies and men, far from the reach of London, and the British state was very small and run by elite aristocrats trained from birth to govern. This euro socialist blob full of fat, deluded poofters, wimminz and other trash has delivered the country you see around you today. The results are in.
It is not only to be expected, but essential, that we keep losing. God doesn’t want deluded, arrogant fuckwits winning things. Better that we are forced to change.

We wouldn’t have heard the end of it. Ngubu and Bumpupu knighted and given interviews and all of us evil backwards racists would be shown that we need immigrants so we can win the sportsball tournament.
Believe me when I say I’m glad ‘England’ lost.

I haven’t watched a single second of the WC. When the England and Argentina game was on, I was busy jet washing the patio. A far more interesting and enjoyable activity, and more rewarding.
I could hear the spectator tension in neighbouring houses, from people who never show any interest in football otherwise, including silly women. That’s the name of the game, to get as many consumers as possible gobbling up the adverts. I knew they’d be disappointed by the game, having learnt the Ingerlund lesson long ago.
The national game is overseen by the FA, which is a state quango. Why would there ever be success? The British state is shit at everything it does. We have 500 of these quangos wasting hundreds of billions of pounds, mostly staffed by useless, posh cunts. Everything that is loathsome about modern Britain makes its way through to whatever the activity is and the essential standards are usually low. From the highway network, to the sewers and water supply, to the arts and sports.
I’ve never really seen the point of watching other people play a sport, preferring to achieve my own goals, however modest. Unbelievably talented people can be worth seeing, just to get an idea of the height of what can be done. Although even then, it is preferable when it is people who look like me. I don’t care to see coloured people unless they are being defeated by those of Northern European stock. I do admire countries that invest in their own people though and are proud to be what they are.
Argentina might have a basket case currency and economy and has seen far better days, over a century ago by now, but it still has a lot going for it and at least they know who they are. For now anyway.
Also, is David Beckham supposed to be some kind of sports ambassador? He is constantly being photographed as a spectator, at football games, at Wimbledon, and beyond. He is a hideous, degenerate moron. Stupid botoxed face, ridiculous eyebrows, tattooed hands like he is a gangster, and going round in a suit. Silly man, representing a silly country.

Should’ve played it in the jungle if they really wanted to win.

I would also like to add that the squad Tuchel selected was utter wank.
Key attacking players left back in blighty while injured, over the hill age wise or barely match fit cunts somehow made the trip.
Some of those players were bang average but having said that – so is international football in general.
Spain v Argentina in the final is a contest between the 2 best teams in the world by a mile so there shouldn’t really be any complaints from a football purists perspective.

Get the bald Kraut in a Southgate mask out and install an Englishman.

It finally happened. England lost. I’d been looking forward to that since the start of the tournament.
Like many I’ve become disillusioned with the England football team to the point of not caring anymore. Southgate was (and still is) a woke ‘yes man’ loser who didn’t have the prerequisite credentials to take on the role. His club managerial record is shite. He only got the nod because he was ‘Johnny on the spot’ when big fat Sam Allardyce got booted out after one game following a sting operation which showed him to be a cunt. Fat Sam shouldn’t have been given the job in the first place. Known for teams which hoof the ball anywhere and rough up the opposition. Did Fat Sam have European tournament experience at club level? No. Did Fat Sam have experience managing/coaching top class international players at club level? No. Before that we had Roy Hodgson – fair enough. And before that we had the second foreigner Fabio Capello (that didn’t work), Steve McClaren (who didn’t even qualify for Euro 2008) and the very first foreign experiment with Sven-Göran Eriksson (who did OK to be fair, but wasn’t English).
Meanwhile the ‘golden generation’ of players (Beckham, Scholes, Shearer, etc.) achieved sod all and were responsible for the transition from being known as a good footballer to being famous for the sake of it. It’s easy to see why now because most of them are now working in the media being paid shit loads to run their mouths about things they never achieved as players. Odd isn’t it?
The current crop of players I just cannot stand and actually loathe some of them. I’ll pick just one otherwise this’ll get too long.
Pickford – shouty, greased back hair, T-rex arms cunt. He may be considered the best we have (I don’t) but he’s not fit to tie the boot laces of past England ‘keepers like Banks, Shilton, Clemence, Corrigan, Martyn, etc. He also does ridiculous overexuberant dives for attempts on goal which absolutely don’t justify it. What a fucking clown. He’ll make a routine save then spend the next 30 seconds high fiving his defenders like he’s achieved some miracle we should all be in awe of when in fact all he’s done is his basic job. What a self-important prick.
Hey Pickford you arsehole, if you’re going to be shouty, puff your chest out like you own the place and dive around like a Marvel comics super hero, then you have to be insanely brilliant like Peter Schmeichel was. News Flash – you’re not.

Pickford is all you said, IY and reminds me of a grownup school boy.

And he should have saved the first fucking goal. Another twat who when push comes to shove is just not good enough. He reminds me of the arms of that mutant in Total Recall who lived on that blokes stomach when he dives, Never see him fully extend his arms, a fucking show pony. As for that fucking idiot in charge, words fail me. Not bad for being paid £8 million to fuck up a cup of coffee. Wankers.

I last went to a Football match in 1969 and watched Manchester United beat Ipswich 2:1. I have never intentionally watched match even on television. I have pointedly ignored painting my face, hanging rags from my car and can quite happily say that I have lived my life quite happily without listening to the assorted “celebs” etc telling me what to do. There has only ever been one sport I have faithfully followed, the entire season was two weeks per year. The Royal Navy Field Gun Race was an impressive spectacle with team of magnificent and humble Seamen competing. The entire event was cancelled by His Toniness The Bliar and part of our heritage was destroyed because it gave him a chance to stick his cowardly fingers towards men and women who did more for their country than he and his ilk will do in their lifetimes.
