Is anyone else not fussed about Englands progress in the euros?

Couldn’t care less about the national team and will be having a few quid on them going out in the group stages.

Double Whammy.

Wasting your money and looking like a knob at the same time. 

Congratulations!

Actually, gobshite, I’m a Scotland supporter. I made money when Costa Rica won the group in 2014 at 50-1 and England crashed out.

Wanker.

Ouch. I hope you do win something just to keep morale up. It must be painful supporting Scotland. Sadly the odds on Scotland crashing out aren't as generous for some reason.

In all seriousness though why comment? If you're Scottish then this thread doesn't apply to you. You've tried to make it sound like you're English.

Strange behaviour.

You’re right, there’s no value in backing Scotland at current prices. England not to qualify isn’t a bad price at 28-1 though. 5-1 to win the tournament is a joke.
I actually think that following England must be as painful because of the expectation levels.
Im not a Scotland fan who despises England, I just think they’re over rated in most tournaments.
Apologies for commenting in a thread that doesn’t apply to me.

One interesting thing on reading these comments is peoples' love of a summer tournament. Just another reason to think a winter World Cup held in Qatar is going to be pretty shit

absolutely this - the WC in the run up to xmas just won't feel the same!

I’m kind of looking forward to it in a way, be interesting to see if it has the same buzz, can imagine Xmas parties being arranged around it which would be pretty good for some but fucking horrendous for others 

I think that they should have made it January. Audience figures would definitely be higher. There's too much other stuff going on in December. 

Couldn't give a monkeys really regarding international's, the few I have watched in recent years have been a real bore, and usually turn off. Appreciate I will no doubt be in a minority, but there you are, you asked the question and I have given my honest answer.
Having said that, I wish them good luck for the sake of all the fans watching and the country in general in these difficult times.

Let's put it this way, England ain't even playing tonight and I'm like an excited kid, flags up, garden sorted, nessum dorma on the pitch ffs.

I can't wait.

I'm not like this at 1pm for first game of the season v Burton or whoever.

no, I'm not really bothered about how England do. Why I'm not sure but probably due to 50 years of being let down time and time again by underperforming highly paid players who a lot of the time don't look like they give a toss. And I've always said if I had the choice of England say winning these Euros or Charlton taking a point in the first game of the season then I'd take the point all day long.

Charlton getting one point in League One, over England Winning the Euros. This must be the most insane thing I have ever read on this website. 

Any Englishman who likes football and says they are not interested in how their National team does are dead from the neck up as far as I’m concerned .
 

Would people take an interest in England if we had 2 Charlton players starting?

Im just trying to get my head wrapped around loving a sport and not following your country.

Please sink this shit. Fine, you've made your point.

Always flicked up by a tourney , I’ve watched less and less of the qualifying stuff as time goes by , other commitments and almost knowing we’d win against pure guff and in all honesty with palace cruising in the Prem match of the day hasn’t been watched in 7-8 years and prem footy I’m watching less and less of so I don’t know all of the players .
Loved the game last night, can’t wait for Sunday , as I’m older I prefer to watch the game sober and with family for the mental loop if we score cos pissed i forget everything and i really hate people .
Come next Friday when we play the sweatys I’ll be foaming at the mouth as if it was a fixture against the scum !
Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I was born in Croydon and lived near Selhurst park for a lot of my life. But I don't really care much about Palace. Still have a fondness for Liverpool though because I went to university there and enjoyed watching from the Kop. I was born and raised in England but I don't really care much about the England football team for some reason. No idea why I've never taken to them. I usually want my favourite players to do well in the World Cup or Euros. My favourite players are rarely English - but sometimes they are ! Certainly I would want any team with Charlton players to do well and beat England!

You’ve always have been quite strange, this confirms it.

Wasn't overly fussed originally, but I'm well up for it now

My love of England stopped abruptly in 2006 following the Darren Bent snub by Erickson. 

When Sven took Theo Walcott to the World Cup, and despite being short of strikers and left Darren Bent behind, with Darren being the leading English goal scorer in the premiership I vowed never to support England ever again. I have kept to this vow.

Pre 2006 I attended a lot of England matches, since 2006 I take zero interest in England. I couldn’t even tell you who England are playing or when the competition starts.

haha Just an outright lie isn't it

Not a lie at all.
I couldn’t give a toss who England are playing.

I honestly don’t know who England’s opponents are, or when the matches are being played.

Feel sorry for you then.

Will people be moaning a lot on here later on if Grealish is left out?

I don’t know how match fit he is at the moment, and whether he’ll be suited for coming on from off the bench.

Never been as excited as this for a 1-1 draw!
