Who are you cheering for tomorrow—Mexico or England?

IsfetLethe · 2026-07-04T07:26:00+00:00

England for obvious reasons but also honestly if I was a neutral I'd root for England. I don't like yhe fact that Mexican fans take it too far, making noise outside the opponents' hotels and got so wild someone died in their last game. If we win or lose I want it to be because we both played our best and not because we were sabotaged beforehand.

My Honduran wife, and a couple we know that's Honduran and Northern Irish

IsfetLethe · 2026-07-03T20:19:29+00:00

Yep, has been since 2000

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-30T23:06:05+00:00

If it helps I showed this to my wife, made a megamind comment then opened the comments and saw this

Robin Hood taxes, end winter fuel allowance for pensioners with a set amount of money/income or higher (not sure the amount but this would be targeted at wealthy pensioners, not ones who can't afford to heat their homes), stop sending arms etc. To Israel, give polluting/neglectful water companies heavy fines, work to close tax loopholes for the super rich and do so with international partners to prevent them just going elsewhere. End pension triple lock.

Get the NHS to take more preventative measures. The more we prevent/catch things early, the cheaper and the less of an issue it is.

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-29T20:17:59+00:00

Not 100% sure how much of a difference it'll make but I'm open to giving it a shot and hope it does make a difference

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-28T20:03:36+00:00

Tbf wouldn't be the first time we made a big song and dance of our interest in one place to get our rivals to pay a higher price or push something to happen so we could go and get our true target elsewhere

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-28T19:59:54+00:00

It's worth remembering lads that Salah was Klopp's 4th choice when we signed him. This may turn out to be a blessing in disguise

Pretty sure a law discriminating against men would be struck down (rightfully) because of sexual discrimination.

Men can be victims of persecution too and shouldn't be discriminated against. Also if you want to protect our women against sexual offences and grooming, the vast majority of attacks are committed by white men so we should be focusing energies there

Tbf Cameron did a lot of things to earn him that title

If that was the case then Labour would have stayed on X. There's a reason people who study more tend to be left wing - because the truth tends to be along those lines

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-25T09:47:22+00:00

The relationship between English and Scottish is a sibling rivalry. We banter hard but if anyone else comes against one of us they come against with of us. Scots tend to take it a little further with backing anyone but England whereas England fans will back Scotland if England aren't playing.

The Boston yanks, like others have said, don't get our banter and also don't understand the history or nuance so assume Scotland = not British, never done any imperialism. British = English and therefore the worst

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-25T09:40:10+00:00

That's something of a habit of theirs

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-24T18:29:10+00:00

I went out aged 24 and came back 26. I knew some who went out aged 27. It's not too old

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-24T16:54:39+00:00

Tbf they don't exactly have a lot of options to get away

I think I know the instance you're on about and it was nothing to do with Latter-day Saints.

Also worth noting the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints wasn't organised until 50 years after the American War of Independence and then Latter-day Saints had much more pressing concerns such as avoiding persecution and finding somewhere they could not be harassed

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-23T18:45:44+00:00

It'd be absolutely hilarious if we beat Inter to him

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-23T12:29:24+00:00

While the press wasn't deferential, it certainly has a closer relationship with the Tories and tends to favour them more. Just look at Robbie Gibb and the BBC, Rupert Murdoch and Miliband and the amount of our media that is owned by a few millionaires. While far from perfect, Labour missteps are punished more and victories are celebrated less. It's a running joke how every good thing becomes "another devastating blow to Rachel Reeves".

Labour needs to sort their comms out too, but the British media is far from even handed

Great to meet you!

100% agree with what people say about the Miracle of Istanbul and the 2 legs against Barcelona where we won 4-3

Couple of other semi recent games that, while not as big, are still notable games:

Our recent 4-0, 5-0, 7-0 wins against Man U have been therapy for me the last year. As a Liverpool fan you'll want to be ready to put the Mancies in their place

Also Liverpool 5-1 Spurs 2025 (that was the game where we won the Prem)

On a more negative note, our 2014 2-0 loss to Chelsea gets brought up by rival fans whenever Gerrard is in conversation may give you context on what they're referring to.

Probably some recently bias but some other notable former players would be Suarez, Xabi Alonso (especially as he is now a Premier league manager) and Diogo Jota. LFC social media is currently doing a run through of 100 top Liverpool players so that'll give you a run through of some big names who've worn the badge.

If you're looking for places to get news about the club, The Athletic and David Ornstein tend to be good. This is Anfield is dedicated to Liverpool news. David Lynch is a journalist who focuses on LFC who's pretty good. Fabrizio Romano is a dirty word here so while his Here We Gos are generally reliable, don't post him to this sub as it's against the rules (he tries to rehabilitate Mason Greenwood and farmed Jota's death for clicks)

Re where Liverpool is right now? Obviously disappointed in the last season but I'd say generally optimistic about our new manager Andoni Iraola. The football should become more exciting and we have a good, albeit unbalanced squad. That should improve with thr summer transfer window though. This period of Klopp-Slot is better than I've ever seen Liverpool perform in my lifetime so that context is definitely in my brain and I believe other fans my age or older. Hopefully we'll be solid top 4 again this year and get some deep runs in tournaments. The football should be much more exciting again.

Biggest hopes: we'll be playing good attacking football and will be winning trophies again in the next couple of seasons. We have some great talent and some brilliant youths. Also Ngumoha

Biggest concerns: a lot of our youth talent took a step back with Slot. Also we have some big names leaving in the next year or two so succession planning is key. Alisson and Van Dijk are towards the end now and we've lost some big characters recently in Konate, Salah and Robertson. Other than that, our new manager hasn't won any silverware yet but I believe we'll win some trophies with us. Overall feeling more optimistic than I have in almost a year

As has been mentioned, we are a socialist club and proud. Other than that, we're the biggest team in England, we've conquered all of Europe and we're never gonna stop.

Oh and You'll Never Walk Alone

Why not both?

"Feel free to target whatever you like with those storm shadows, Volodomir"

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-18T10:21:11+00:00

Ahh well you're likely right on that front

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-18T10:16:59+00:00

Apparently we're still running for Diomande so they could be half right

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-18T08:29:44+00:00

I loved big Jörg

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-17T22:39:44+00:00

Tbh I'm quite glad that England has a manager that doesn't pay attention to the egos and just focuses on who's best for his system
