When England play cricket, i support England, when England play rugby, i support England, if a British rich boy does well at Wimbledon i support him. Same goes for snooker, darts and tiddly winks! If you think you're above supporting your country when we play football, fuck off.

No its not!! I had it on the radio at work, genuinely sounded like we were dominating them, and was expecting nothing less than a place in the final.

Then there was that unfortunate penalty. Well OK not a huge problem.

Then I left for a while and came back, noticing the commentators on 5 live were sounding a little subdued. I was immediately concerned what this probably meant. But being sure of England's eventual triumph on Wednesday I couldn't believe it - until it was confirmed Croatia had indeed scored during my quick break.

From then on the tide had well and truly turned and that was that.

2018 was something different and not the usual result of maybe getting to the top 8 if they do really well, but likely out before then.

Really thought we'd win last night, unlike any world cup for ages!

Hope this doesn't follow the pattern of 1990 with a non qualification in 4 years (no wonder I have basically no memory of the 94 world cup).

It's well and truly come home.

Not seen support like for this cup for decades.

And the Russians have done a great job at hosting one of the best and least troubled world cups ever.

Bring on the final and I hope Croatia go all the way

That's how the other home nations enjoy their time at a tournament, to me it doesn't mean 'it's come home'.

I agree with Russia doing an amazing job hosting the WC been the best that I can remember.

I'd prefer Croatia to win but it's one game too many for them I think.

They have already played an extra game with x3 lots of extra time.

I'm the same. I did hope they'd win it, but I'm not bothered they haven't.

What really pisses me off is how people say "but you have to support your country", no I don't, and unless you watch every single sport that England takes part in, saying it to me makes no sense what so ever

Ah! You expect to lose! That explains it. An interesting mindset.

When I was five or six , we won the World Cup .

I remember the nation getting behind our boys . I recall our best striker getting injured ( Roger Hunt ) and being replaced for the rest of the tournament by a lesser known lad called Geoff Hurst .

Maybe if we had done the same thing after the Colombian game we may be talking of a second final . Because if Harry Kane wasn’t injured fir the Sweden and Croatia games , I’d like to know how a player goes from good to bad so quickly !

And herin lies the problem with supporting English football . We play with talismen and are afraid to lose them . Is it superstition ? Sponsorship ? I don’t know , but with a fully fit team we would have rolled Croatia over . That second half performance was nothing to be proud of , but it was everything we’ve come to expect from the English football team .

I happily surport any English team in any sport.

Onley difference is i no its just a game and no matter wot i do or say it won't change the score.

So i don't go about like a yelling screeming pac of baboons Yelling and throwing things just cos the teem on the tv is or is not winning.

I don't think any England fan has ever EXPECTED to win the world cup. Maybe you have an issue understanding the difference between HOPING and EXPECTING. However if you didn't hope to successfully achieve any undertaking, then why attempt it in the first place? How pleased would your boss be, if when you turned up for work, you told him you expected to fail to achieve your target for the day?

I'm pretty sure that guy who was thrown from his bike during the Vuelta a España was mistaken for Froome.

It was Jimmy Greaves who got injured. Roger Hunt played in the final.

Didn’t see that. He got through the Giro d’ Italia without incident, apart from a lad running beside him with a giant inhaler. It’s okay at the moment cause it’s mainly flat stages, it’s when they get to the mountains That some idiot will probably try something.
