[Football] Anyone else going to watch the England game ONLY if Moder is playing

[MJsGhost]

I find it very difficult to get behind an England team with Kane as captain. #TeamModer (if I tune in for the 2nd half)

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Watching if Moder plays, not if he doesn't. No interest in England at the moment.

Agree with you on this

Useless is not even qualifying for the World Cup or Euros.
Sorry, but I did watch us in 66 and get fed up with English so called fans running us down.

I'm measuring the team by success. The odd quarter or semi final is not, in my book, success.

And I agree with the earlier post that stated that since promotion it's getting harder to support England. I can't stand Southgate as he's got an agenda against us, I detest players like grealish and walker, and my love of Brighton and the petty rivalries trumps everything.

There is no law or rule that we have to love the English football team. I am patriotic and love my country but I couldn't give two figs about the team.

Good test for Moder this.

Moder not been mentioned in commentary yet , anyone seen him touch the ball yet?

Most of the Polish team have hardly had a touch.

That’s the expected script in these England qualification games.

I’m supporting England because I’m English.
I’m not wanting Poland to win because a Brighton player is in their team, unlike some Albion fans commenting on Twitter.

I don’t like Southgate but England are my team for better or worse. There is no picking or choosing.
There have been Brighton managers I don’t like.

To be fair the commentator only seems to have learnt Scezeny and Bednarek. Otherwise silence when the Poles have the ball.

Now this point is true.

Now we are in the top division, we are inevitably bought into conflict in the PL games.

I would say though.

1) That fans of regular top flight teams, such as Everton. for example would have had to have swallowed their pride and followed England teams with loads of Liverpool players in for generations. They find a way to do this.
2) Even when we were down the leagues, there were PL teams who were obviously dislikeable, even though we weren't playing them. Many will have detested Man U or Chelsea or Arsenal even though we never played them.
3) England have always had players who have acted like knobs and weren't that likeable. I think this current team has plenty of players who are widely respected. Sterling, Rashford, Henderson, TAA, Coady

Nah, don’t think this is true. Reason I don’t watch qualifiers or friendlies is because a) just far too much football b) unlike the old days, the big nations like us are almost guaranteed to make tournaments it’s so rigged and expanded (for financial reasons obviously) so what’s the point in watching the rehearsals; just tune into finals, which are themselves now contain almost a repeat of the qualifiers. It’s entertainment though. It’s long stopped being sport. Money talks and it’s constructed to maximise revenue so why not let every principality and tax haven compete as a ‘nation’? Gives Scotland a chance of winning a game too!

My loss? What the first decent team faced and Southgate made a mess of it.

What else did anyone expect though? His managerial experience at senior level consisted of getting Middlesbrough relegated. But the FA blazers are more interested in having a manager who's good in press conferences and polite to them than one who's any good.

Declan Rice is a very good player.

Moder is no.16 and is playing at mo

 

[Mellotron]

England’s attacking options are scarily good. No space for Rashford, Grealish, Sancho and many others.

Is the right answer and in my new government this sort of s hit is why I’ll ramp up the treason laws!

 

[Weststander]

Declan Rice is a very good player.

He’s now looking an exceptional player, seemingly everywhere, gliding through attempted tackles.

Ah yes.

The Norman Tebbit cricket test.

So right...... they just chat to each other when Poland have it.

It's entirely possible that some Albion fans are of a nationality other than English.

Except None of whom would start in any of the teams expected to win the World Cup. They’re good. They are nowhere near proven world class. We make this mistake all the time. Thinking better than are. Until they can beat likes of France, Germany, Brazil etc in tournament football, they’re just good. Oh, and btw, we’re only leading 1 nil. Against Poland. In a qualifier.
