Well I think we are, not in qualifiers but when it really matters.
I know it's only a friendly but the Germans were not even trying.
The Krauts are very poor tonight. Great England support as ever. Best in the world.

I read this, then thought of your post.
THE FANS: Yeah, this is an extra. But when you listen to several thousand morons singing about ten German bombers, asking the German crowd if they have ever won a war and chanting about the IRA, you really do wonder about the state of our society.
No songs about the players on the pitch, no invention, just a bunch of oafs who think it is acceptable to taunt away supporters about a conflict that ended 72 years ago. Those that actually fought in that conflict not only don’t want you to sing about it, but probably feel entirely miserable that their valiant efforts have ended in people like you being allowed to travel abroad. Anyway, I look forward to those same twats crying in Russia because they been arrested unfairly or beaten up but I only threw a small chair, honest guv.
“Please don’t take me home” is their other imaginative ditty. You read our f**king minds.
Daniel Storey
What a bile-ridden, hypocritical, self-loathing and spiteful review. On the one hand he calls these fans that travel around the world in the largest numbers following a country that hasn't won anything for 60 years morons yet he finishes his drivel with a wish that they all get beaten up. Bearing in mind that some England fans were put in comas by Russian hooligans that's a) showing a massive inability to grasp what happened with the Russians and b) that he's just as bad if not worse than those who he calls twats,
Daniel Storey is a shitpuffin and doesn't speak for me, despite appointing himself spokesman for the rest of the country.
I wasn't there and have never been to an England match so I can't weigh in too far, but don't you think singing war songs in Germany in what was touted a new beginning for England, in a match which was pretty much a testimonial for a respected player of the game, well, massively tinpot and ugly?
I The main problem for England isn't the meaning of the lyrics, it's that the songs are shit.

I hear what you're saying, but all nations go on about wars and battles: the Irish sing about about the Easter Rising, the Americans about the War of Independence*, and dear old Scotland have to go all the way back to the Middle Ages to find a military victory they can crow about.
Erm, no - if you re-read it, he says he looks forward to them crying in a cell because they have been arrested or beaten up - he doesn't wish for that. Bit of a difference...
His exact words: "...I look forward to those same twats crying in Russia because they been arrested unfairly or beaten up..."
I don't want to get too pedantic about it but I read that as saying that he looks forward to someone crying for being arrested unfairly (yeah that's nice too) OR for being beaten up. I think we'll have to agree to disagree with your interpretation seeing as, in my eyes, it's impossible to wish to see someone crying about being beaten up without also wishing them to be beaten up.
Then your understanding of the English language is as poor as your moral code.
He does not say that he wants to see them get beaten up. He's implying that, unfortunately, it is almost inevitable that people will get beaten up in Russia. If that does occur, then i don't think he would pity them after the event. It does not imply that he condones that actual act of violence.
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you. It does imply that he wants them beaten up otherwise he'll never get his wish of seeing them crying about it. He doesn't say that he wouldn't have pity for them but that he... looks forward to seeing them cry. That's two different things.
