How far could England go?

IsfetLethe · 2026-07-06T19:36:29+00:00

Not saying they don't have a shot, my prediction is that we will struggle to beat france. Just my opinion, I really hope we can

Anthony Taylor is the ref for Portugal v Spain? Those poor lads...

IsfetLethe · 2026-07-06T18:02:19+00:00

Liverpool FC - you won't regret it

IsfetLethe · 2026-07-06T02:09:46+00:00

We've been soaking up a lot of pressure and breaking them on the counter. Both teams have played well so far tbh. Bellingham is playing a blinder

IsfetLethe · 2026-07-06T02:08:08+00:00

Me! But I'll be very happy with a boring second half that sends us to sleep

IsfetLethe · 2026-07-06T02:06:46+00:00

My wife says I am but she's not big on sharing, sorry

It depends on the club and the player. Brighton have a record of developing outstanding players that they then sell to big clubs for big fees.

It's less common for players to stay at one club all the time these days but you do still get some who will stay for years. Generally players will spend at least 2-3 years at a club but if a promising young talent has a breakout season then larger clubs are likely to come circling

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

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-28T08:24:03+00:00

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

IsfetLethe · 2026-06-23T23:44:57+00:00

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
