Feels like the most relatable of the major nations with that hope of “maybe we win this time, look, we aren’t losing to teams like Iceland anymore…nah, not this time. But look, next time the final is being played at Wembley, surely now…oh, it was so close, just a penalty loss in the final, fuckk”. The fact that there is always a genuine chance for them to win yet they haven’t done so since 1966 is insane to me, feel like they deserve to get a trophy too. Then again, this time we did qualify so fuck everyone else, go Romania!🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

The English media is the issue, not the national team.

Almost like it is impossible to accept that any foreign side is better. No, it must have just been a poor performance for the squad.

I went to watch England v North Macedonia Euros qualifier at Old Trafford and sat in the row in front of me was an entire family of Indian heritage, from grandparents in traditional clothing, westernised parents all the way to young excited kids in England shirts. They were all loving it. It made me think maybe the perception of watching England is changing and people from different backgrounds now feel it's a place they can come to.

It's the English drinking culture in general that is our issue. Qatar WC was the only time in the history of the competition where an England fan wasn't arrested, and we can't pretend like the key factor wasn't the alcohol ban. Me and my mates booked a villa in Croatia last summer and at the end the host said her Mother wanted her to reject our booking when she saw we were a group of 9 English people, she was worried we'd trash the house. Which we didn't, and she apologised for her mother's prejudice.

I do sympathise with that lady, thanks to the appalling behaviour of too many English people, but that just increases the responsibility of the rest to behave better and change perceptions. I remember going on a preseason tour of Belgium (I'm an Everton fan), and we arrived at the hotel between staff shifts, so there weren't many people around to book us in or make sure rooms were ready. The hotelier was very fearful that a coach load of English football fans would give him trouble, but by the end of the week we'd become such friends that he gave us a crate of embossed beer glasses to take home and hoped he'd see us again the next year. It really doesn't take much effort.

Scotland has a similar, if not worse drinking culture. And we have the polar opposite reputation.

As a portuguese, I don't dislike England nor the National Team, but I do dislike most of your media, and I do think they have somewhat of a responsability in how people behave. The english media always hypes things up in a similar way the american media says "we're the best country in the world". And btw, the trashing of the streets is not something that only happens when there's football matches, I feel like it's culture by now, like tourism plays a part in everyone hating you guys, at least every summer here in Portugal, especially in Algarve, there's always issues between the police and young english man because they tend to break windows, cafes, chairs, etc. I do have to say though, the older english people who come here, and even choose to retire here, tend to behave.

Listen. I have just started the video, so be advised that what I say may be addressed in the video. But this is my take. I am an American, and our country gets hate in our direction, although for slightly different and similar reasons. The different reason is because we call it soccer and have many other sports more popular in our country (yet other countries do as well but don't get the hate) and thus they think we don't respect the sport enough. But that I think is more of a tool/outlet for expressing anti Americanism. Why? Because, whether you like America or not, the USA is the big dog in the world. The dominant nation. And yes, sometimes we Americans go a little overboard in our patriotism. But we have been repaid by hate that goes way beyond balancing that out. On the balance of the good vs bad a World Hegemon does in history, the US is very good as a World Hegemon. Now why do I mention that? Because I think that this dynamic, of using soccer/football as a tool/outlet for hate against the US because of the US' status and perceived arrogance, applies in some ways to the UK, England specifically. Why? Because before the US, the UK was the top dog in the world. The UK, especially England, had this sense of being a nation above other nations (not in the racial sense like certain others, but in the "our combination of power, democracy, accomplishments etc make us different from other nations). I mean the US originally was part of the British Empire, so maybe makes sense. Of course, the UK hasn't been the top dog in the world like the US is now, in about a century, so that hatred about that is a little bit subsided. But even with that, the UK has a legacy that makes it like the US in thinking its above other nations, and even today is one of the top powers in the world. That I think provides the foundation. But of course, the thing that makes people go into overdrive in disliking England in soccer/football, is the fact that England is historically HEAVILY underachieved, for a nation that is one of the biggest, wealthiest in Europe, and the birthplace of modern soccer/football. Yet the way the fans act, you know that if England EVER win, you'll never hear the end of it. It's like you constantly hear about how great England are, yet in history, England has made a grand total of 1 WC final, 3 WC semis, 1 euro final and 3 euro semis. For comparison, Germany has made 8 WC finals, 13 WC semis, and 6 euro finals, 9 euro semis. When you see this, I think most people think that England fans should be extremely humble about big upping their players. Even now, with I think England fans actually being more humble, I root against England in soccer/football. And that is saying something. I am an American of German and Chinese heritage, yet in basically all aspects, I favor the UK over Germany. I feel more kinship with the UK, like their foreign policy more, and just like their country more. Soccer/football is the ONLY thing I root for Germany over England in. Now with that being said, even understanding the underlying reasons for England hate (part resenting England's powerful place in the world, part being perplexed at historically England fans being arrogant despite being HUGE underachievers, and part not wanting to never hear the end of it if England wins), the anti England hysteria has I think gone too far. Most England fans are well aware of their past poor performances, and if anything expect something to go wrong, and like to take the piss at themselves and their team. And maybe in the 2010s England genuinely had a poor team for big European nation, but since 2020 (2018 was a lucky draw), England have genuinely been a top 4-5 team in the world. So people saying England always suck are wrong. All I want is people to be honest about some of their motivations behind lashing out at the US and England/UK, but also for England fans to not make us hear it for the next 70 years if they ever do win a tournament

I can feel comfortable singing “ Football’s coming home” because I know the lyrics- one line says we fans know “we’re going to throw it away”-it is an English joke told to ourselves that we’ll probably lose, but let’s have fun dreaming. I can understand why others think this is arrogant, when its intent is exactly the opposite. I accept however there are those who sing it arrogantly.

@@Nick.Martin. true. I might also say that the "it's coming home" might get other nations' fans angry for a different reason: the idea that England winning the trophy means that football is "coming home." As in the England is the home of football. Now in a technical sense it is, because it created the rules for football. But I think that some people take it as: the English think they are the owners of the sport itself, when you have at least 5-6 nations that are historically better at the sport than England. This is speculation on my part. I'm not really bothered by it, but I'm trying to infer that. But again, and I am speculating and bringing in other things, this might have to do with the nation above others or nation among nations. Honestly, besides the USA and UK, even though almost all nations have patriotism, almost all of them view themselves as nations among nations. USA and UK I believe often view themselves as above. And honestly, through accomplishments, power, and some genuinely good things (for the time), there is an argument. I think the "football's coming home" chant grinds their gears, because say an Italian, German, Spaniard etc is thinking "England fans should just consider themselves one nation among other nations, not the custodians and spiritual owners of the sport." This could be a reach, but just thought I'd throw that out there. And totally get the point about projecting. I think everyone needs to understand that in ANY nation, there are people who are arrogant and people who are not. Maybe when we make general statements, we mean what a larger portion of a population of a nation believes than another nation. As in if say 30-35% of Americans or Brits believe that their nation is above others, basically no other nation has even that amount of people who believe their nation is unique and above others. I don't want my next statement to come off as arrogant, because I know nations are made up of people, good and bad, and no one has a birthright to being the best, but as an American, I honestly expect my nation to be the best in any sport that it cares about as much as other nations. Meaning the idea that the US could care about a sport as much as another nation and not be the best is hard to wrap my mind around. I always wonder about an alternate reality in which soccer/football had been the top sport in the US from the 1800s

@@AW-zk5qb That song was written in 1996, the year England hosted the Euros. That’s what was meant by football coming home. It wasn’t about winning it but hosting it. This is what has been lost since. Our misfortune here is that it was a song with a catchy hook, simple and fun to sing in a crowd. If it had been crap, none of this nonsense and misunderstanding would have occurred. Oh how I wish! Nowadays mind you, we prefer to sing Sweet Caroline, which is also fun to sing as a crowd. That song has nothing to do with football at all, and makes no claims we’re going to win or if we’re a good team . It is about entertainment, enjoying and adding to the atmosphere and that’s all. I believe “Football’s Coming Home” was just about entertainment in a similar vein as Sweet Caroline. If the lyric was “Football’s Fun To Play” I think we might still have sung it because of the tune! I agree, if you’re saying in the end we’re all individuals, and that every country has good and bad. As to thinking we are or were top dog, I believe that nearly all Brits would agree we’re just not that any more and probably (almost certainly) never will be that again. Most of us know we’re in decline. Just to add, if you look at the winners, it is usually a country’s population that is an indicator of who wins. I believe, of the historical footballing loving nations, Brazil is the largest, then Germany, France, Italy etc. if we played as the UK, who knows how different football history might have been simply because of population size. I’ve no doubt if the US was a football nation, it would have dominated. Thanks for reading.

@@LoyalFan9383 is it really nitpicking in this scenario? To me it's like the 1000th reason to dislike the English fans

I'm an American fan, but it feels like most English fans will just disregard my fandom due to my country's sports culture, and the terminology we use (we call the sport "soccer" among other things). I get it, it can sound funny calling it a "roster" instead of a "squad," but it really does bug the hell out of me and other American fans that we can't talk about ⚽ without being ridiculed for our nationality. That being said, I do think there's a lot of good English fans that are being wrongfully painted as awful due to a small vocal minority. It really sucks. I wish you guys the best of luck for the Euros though. 🤝

@@spime93 This is going to be long so strap in. There are many different types of football. There's Rugby football. There's Gaelic football. There's Aussie rules football. But there's only one original. One that professionalised first, formed leagues and associations etc. We don't change the names of other types of football. To do so would be to delegitimize them. It would be arrogant. They're all equally types of football and they can all share the name. Every country has it's historic internal divisions. In America the big one is race. In Britain it's class. Class is how you discriminate against people who look the same as you. Football is the working class game in Britain. The only people who will call it soccer in Britain are the upper classes. So by calling it soccer you're unwittingly taking a side in a historic divide. The reasons for this go back to the amateur professional split. I can go into more detail if you'd like but this is long enough already. Thirdly, and this may just be me, but I'm offended on American's behalf. Back when football was being introduced to America your higher ups decided that regular American's couldn't get their heads around more than one type of football. Like the rest of the world can. As if Americans were too stupid to understand the concept. I'm not on board with that type of condescension.

I also find it hilarious how people don’t give Southgate his flowers for what he has done first final since 66 and first semifinal since Southgate played and yet the team always is a favourite yet still disappoint.

Im half Irish yet I support England as a Canadian I fell in love with England in 2019 going in London

As a Romanian I actually like the England NT, have supported them for the past 3 tournaments (because we haven’t qualified for any of them so I had to find someone else, used to support Italy at previous tournaments but then they haven’t qualified either lol). Sure their fans cause quite some trouble (way better than it used to be but still not ideal, sometimes they are also discriminated against though like at the 2022 CL final) but I do feel like it is the more relatable country out of the major nations with this constant hope of winning something that never gets realised and I can definitely take the “It s coming home” chant as a joke with a grain of hope, I ve been trained by so many years of laughing at Becali (FCSB, formerly Steaua s owner which is the team I support) doing outlandish predictions that fail to become reality so I can take some Englishmen getting hyped for tournaments lol, I rate the self-depreciating “but what if…unless..🥺” hope of it all. I mean, I can be like “Florinel is the superior Coman over Kingsley, he s the only one that scored directly from a corner” too, doesn’t mean I believe it, hell, Coman will probably not even play that much at the Euros despite the massive season he s had for us (but the fact is true, he did score from a corner kick some years ago in a derby against Dinamo). The fact that you all haven’t won anything in this long is honestly mad given how you were always around there as one of the top nations, feel like in some ways it must be worse to support England than a lower national team like us because in our case you don’t have the expectation or even the hope of winning but with England you always look at the squad and feel like “come on, this team definitely has a chance of winning, don’t they?”. I also think that the current squad is fairly likeable, as for Southgate, for the longest amount of time I thought you all have been really harsh on him given his massive results (first Euro final. Ever. Lost on penalties at that. Yeah the penalty against Denmark was probably a dive but still. Semis at the WC 2018, easy bracket be damned. Quarter loss to France due to a missed pen in 2022. Before him y all were losing to Iceland ffs) and probably still are but the fact that he s been ignoring Tomori is a bit insane ngl and I presume you have a point when it comes to weak football being shown (think that at tournaments you ve been fine though). Then again, Greece and Portugal played like shit too and they won this tournament in the past 20 years. Hell, we, Romania have been playing like absolute shit and we won our group undefeated. Ahead of Switzerland. We got 4p in the matches against them. You know, the team with the almost invincible throughout the whole club season Granit Xhaka in midfield? When you hear that you think we ve been insanely good. We weren’t. We literally drew a match to Belarus and almost the second too. The first Swiss match we ve scored twice in 3 minutes at the end for the draw and Puscas didn’t even mean to pass the ball on one of them. But results are what is remembered. Which is why I am strangely hopeful for us this year but I digress. In the end, let s all get behind our teams, hope for fair refereeing and enjoy a great tournament. I won’t be supporting you lads this time primarily because we re in it of course but I have still predicted you to win, I think and hope you will get over the hump eventually as you deserve to celebrate a trophy too

New Zealand and I think it's a few things: 1. They very strongly represent EuroCentric/EuroSnob views that can be kind of annoying when you're outside it. 2. It's more entertaining when they lose than win they win. England is a master of building their hype, so watching it crash and burn with reality is just far more entertaining. 3. There's also a bit of a rivalry that's carried over from rugby and cricket (sports we're actually good at), where I'd say there's only one team that would be worse to lose to (The Aussies)

Dutchie here. I like England and I think England did an amazing job of keeping hooliganism out of the stadiums for many years now. Of course I’m talking about club football in England itself. Outside of England the English fans don’t have a good reputation, but at least in England itself you can go to a stadium for a derby between two rivalling teams and the worst thing that can happen is that the fans of the rivalling team sing louder. I get jealous of the wonderful atmosphere. I watched the FA cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United and the atmosphere was AMAZING! Now in the Netherlands, my team (NEC Nijmegen) played the final in the Dutch equivalent of the FA cup against Feyenoord. Needless to say I was buzzing and it was great, but the referee had to stop the game two times because half of the stadium caught fire, so it felt. Hooliganism in the Netherlands is a growing problem. And it seems like a growing problem in many European countries. I won’t even mention the frequent fights and deaths caused by football fans in some South American countries. So please realise that we see those things as well. England has set an example of how to ban hooliganism in and around their stadiums and the world is watching and I know for a fact that at least in The Netherlands we can only hope that one day we get to that point where we can say “we did it, we banned hooliganism out of our stadiums as well”. And I’m sure other countries will try and copy ‘the English approach’ for a safer and friendlier visit to a game of football as much as we’d like to. And let me just emphasise the fact that I personally love the English. I love all of the UK. One thing I’ll never forget is the extreme difference I experienced when I went to Paris for four days, where I didn’t receive a single kind word, or a friendly face, while a year later in London I received nothing else BUT only friendly responses from all those Londoners. Talking about a culture shock. 😅 For French people who read this, know that I’m aware that the French can be just as friendly and polite as anyone and just by occasionally watching some reality shows from England (my mom watches this, don’t blame me!) I’m fully aware of the fact that there are assholes in England too, just like there are nice people and terrible people to be found in every country all over the world. 😊 🧡🧡🧡

IN YOUR DREAMS, IN YOUR DREAMS, IN YOUR DREAMS!

When you read "we hate your fans" it resonated with me. You see, I'm from Croatia. Very touristy country mind you. And we are Balkan ppl meaning not posh by any standard. But. When you go to quaint Dalmatian town and hear a rowdy bunch, it's most likely English. When you see someone pissed to the point of hurling in the same kind of street - yup, prolly English. Someone filmed a person defecating at1 in the morning in front of someone's door. Ends up on morning press portals. Heavy British accent. I know it's a minority of you guys. But it's very vocal. Locals in Dalmatia openly hate young British tourists. Do you blame them?

Hey you fans of the English national football team, I know it wasn’t exactly what you wanted when you sang “football’s coming home”, but your footballing girls managed to get football home two years ago. Remember? 😊 And yes, I do understand that when it comes to technique, strength, tactics and basically everything else, women’s football is probably not as exciting and certainly not as prestigious as men’s football, but I enjoyed watching that tournament two years ago. The Dutch didn’t do well and since Sarina Wiegman was the coach of the England squad, I decided to follow and cheer for the English team. I began to really like these girls and I was genuinely extremely happy for them when they actually DID ‘bring football home’. And who knows what this year will bring you? You have a good number of great players in your squad. You can win the tournament with these players. Unfortunately for you, you also have a coach who has the unique talent to squeeze the worst performances out of every single brilliant player in every single game he plays for your country. Maybe he’s such an amazing genius that I’m just too stupid to grasp the refinement of his mastery, but I’m afraid that if I don’t get it, his team doesn’t get it either. FFS is there really not a better coach to be found in a football mad country that houses more than 40,000 football clubs?!?! 🤷🏻

As a neutral that lives far away from europe, lowkey there's a sense of happiness to see England failing again and again to win a championship 😅. However, i would also love to see this England golden generation bring it home. I think it would be monumental to witness. Kinda similar when i can be part of history when Messi finally lifting a world cup. 😁

As an Australian, i like a lot of your players and if the countries from my background are out of a tournament i would back you guys in to win and support you. I also like the fans because from what i see now, they show what football is all about.

I don’t even like football but as an American, why does everyone hate England regarding history? Like everyone STILL hates England for it’s colonialism arc. Hell even I as an American hold some weird historical resentment

I’m In the state of Oregon, can’t make it out to see those games but I wish you safe travels and the best of luck on your games!!!

I’ve got Irish blood but I’m English born and raised so obviously I’m biased, but as obnoxious as some England fans can be, I do find it funny how many are pretty much bashed by foreign fans for passion and optimism, something that could easily be said about every other nation that actually shows an interest in football. Just a tad bit of hypocrisy here and there…

As an American I have no issue with the English I actually love them I find them in their culture very fascinating

Imagine a country where their fans make racist chants and hate comments at their own player who happen to be their starboy. They're awful and very arrogant. I only watch them because of some humble players like Saka whom happen to also play for Arsenal whom i support. He's very humble and it pains me to see him play for such country whom most of the fans don't value him. Their league, Epl is almost the same. Biased refs, officials, pundits, media etc. The foreign players made the league competitive. Not the English players. They're very proud and arrogant.

To be fair, despite what happened in Birmingham (and that was a huge topic there after Alkmaar...), right now England is probably the most popular 2nd choice in Poland.

It’s the media. Commenting from Zambia btw. The English press overhype English players, this results in English players having these ridiculous transfer fees even when they’re not that good. Also if England win any major tournaments we will never hear the end of it. You still talk about the 1966 win like it was yesterday.😭

Europe dislikes England as a default, we are part of an island, that doesn't consider itself European as such, we are individualistic, which our isolation afforded us. Europeans are more group-think, which is needed when you have constant conflicts over land borders. England is European, but different, and many Europeans dislike that difference, the arrogance to be different. The arrogance and individualism that spawned the US, Australia, etc. Oh, well.

I remember when the women football team of England won the finals of the Euro cup against Germany. The English fans had nothing better to do to make fun of a crying German girl in the audience. Apparently there were several tik toks or other videos mocking the sad German fans, that crying girl in particular. So they not only are bad losers but they are in particular horrible winners as well

You skirts are just colourful nobodies -- cute but not worthy opponents so nobody has an opinion of them

The 'it's coming home' turned into a saying after the song came out, to symbolize hope, not literally expecting that we win the tournements. Most tournaments since the 1996 song, we expected not to do so well, but cheered them on anyway with "its coming home" lol

Yeah, all of Europe has had a war with England. Here in the Netherlands we mostly just think the English are just special in a negative way, but we are also still projected very badly in English language (think of some idioms with Dutch in them), and that as well is a result of the wars between the English and the Dutch Empires, which were all fought on water which is quite about the only military aspect where the Dutch are strong, particularly in past ages, so the English were beaten embarrassingly, though before that, so were the Dutch. So historically we hate each other, lol, though now it’s mainly English tourists that evoke negative emotions, but that’s the same with Americans. Just behave I guess, and well maybe like you again somewhere in the next few ages XD

Three Lions is about hope and optimism, the belief that we can maybe do better this time and avoid all of the heartache of the past that is referenced in the lyrics. It isn't arrogant, it's hopeful. The sentiment of the song is not that we WILL win, but that PERHAPS this time we could! Also, it's a massive anthem that is great to sing along to!

As a Dane, I've always been kinda a neutral towards the England fans, sure they have done some disasterclasses, but I've never had an opinion on it, until Denmark met England in the euros 2020. I was watching the game from Denmark on a big tv screen with thousands around me and some of my friends. And since Eriksen had already fainted in the tourney, we kinda played in pride of him, so when thousands of fans sang the national anthem of the first semi final Denmark had been in since 1992 and the entire Wembley stadium booed us, it was just so disrespectful and I who was a neutral towards the England fans before had lost all of my respect to them. We had played such a great tournament, and it felt like the whole nation was joined together for the fist time in many years. There was also the big fight that took place after the match was over between the England fans and the travelling Danish fans. There were kids and men and women that were getting harrassed, violently beat up and so on. And then nothing happened after all of that. I only saw two videos before being to disgusted to keep watching them, but from what I saw and the reports after it was not just a fight, it was a fight that never was necessary, and England had even won the game which imo was very unfair and not the right choises taken by the ref. I don't think I can ever forgive those England fans..

I remember when I first heard Three Lions. On Baddiel and Skinner’s Fantasy Football show on BBC2. It premiered two months before Euro 96, with little fanfare. But what struck me, was its modesty, and how it railed against the very arrogance, it now symbolises among England fans since. Who’ve completely missed the entire point of the song. IEngland had recently failed to even qualify for USA 94. A year earlier, the far right had got an England friendly in Dublin abandoned. To follow England in the mid 90s, for reasons on and off the pitch, was embarrassing. England weren’t expected to do much in that tournament. And the song acknowledged this harsh reality. Dare to dream, but keep your feet on the ground.

At the start of football’s coming home the words “it’s bad news for the English game” “they’re not creative enough they’re not positive enough” hit hard

Fans of other national teams: "We can do it. We're good enough." Everyone else: "That's it. Support your country!" England fans: "We can do it. We're good enough." Everyone else: "TYPICAL ENGLAND FAN!!! SO FUCKING ARROGANT AND ENTITLED!!!!!!" Once again we're held to a different standard.

Bin off these absolute tossers we have as our fans, who often actively seek out trouble or start it in the first place, and replace them with Civil human beings who aren't on day release from a zoo, and we might actually show we have respectable fans that can go to these games too.
