[Football] Two world wars and one world cup!

[wellquickwoody]

He’s only regurgitating the false narrative that has been allowed to percolate forever.

Yes Gareth, people have tried to invade us and often succeeded. The Norwegians, Danes, French. They’ve all succeeded.

As to holding the Nazi regime back, even without the Americans we had called on all the Commonwealth countries and we had the Poles, Czechs, French, Norwegians etc all forming divisions or flying in the RAF.

This sense of invasion is ludicrous, especially when you think of how we invaded Africa, India, China etc etc.

There is so much to love about this country. I love the values of free speech, liberty, equality and accountability that we aspire to. I love our humour, our creativity, our ability to come together when needed (not unique, but we do it). I love our diversity, from Morris Dancing to the Notting Hill Carnival. I love the Cornish coast and the Yorkshire Dales. I love a roaring fire in a winter pub and the sound of a cricket ball being struck. I love our invention and the way we’ll work with anyone to find answers.

I could go on and on. But one thing I am not blind to is some misguided idea that English people alone resisted an invasion from Germany. That’s just stupid Xenophobia and will mean sod all to young men like Raheem Sterling, and should mean sod all to all of us.

Now Gareth, go and win us a cup.

I'm not sure about surrendering. I think that's the French.

I am expecting a couple of Italian subs to switch into a three lions shirt at half time though.

Also expecting a sudden influx of German reinforcments via the subs bench if they are getting battered [emoji6]

Having retreated into their penalty area for the first half? Now that IS a national trait
