There’s a saying in Liverpool “we’re not English, we’re scouse”
Not English, but was born here. Half Irish so you know I’m going to hate on them everyday of the week. Club over international football for me. Genuinely prefer watching the Tennis over the Euros.
I am English and not bitter that we are in the final BUT pretty ashamed of all the victorious ferver for what was effectively a con. Constant diving - no punishment and mostly rewarded with free kicks and ultimately the match winning penalty.
That’s before we talk about the fans and the commentary.
I felt a little bit guilty when Owen won us the FA Cup against the Arse once - but that was us - and just smash and grab - not cheating.
Tonight was squarely in the cheating zone - it was relentless all game and then the ref - his wrong call AND amazingly VAR - suddenly - first time all tournament - blind as a bat to the fact it was never a penalty.

"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”
I watched the Owen final with my Arsenal supporting friend and apologised to him afterwards, let's not forget the Henchoz handball too, I'm always very fair about the football, most of the LFC fans I know are actually, I just apologised to my fried, admitted we got away with the Henchoz handball and his lot outclassed us all over the pitch, but that's football, then celebrated wildly
It was completely embarrassing all the diving and cheating and shameless advocating of cheating on the commentary tonight and just how poor England were in midfield and at trying to play a passing game, Denmark were by far the better footballing side and showed Rice and Phillips amateur hour inexperience up massively, God knows what Barella, Jorginho, Veratti, Chiesa and Insigne will do to England with that pair in midfield on Sunday, destroy them most likely, if Mancini belatedly bites the bullet and drops Immobile and employs a false 9 with Chiesa and Insigne playing further up, it could be an absolute trouncing

Just watched the game, that sucked. About what I expected from Kane and Sterling. Denmark deserved to get to pens.
