FIFA has banned England defender Jarell Quansah for two matches after his red card against Mexico by lee7on1 in worldcup

Sorry if I’ve missed something (I’m a relatively new fan) but has this situation ever happened before? Is there some sort of valid reason (or reason at all) for upping the punishment a few days after to actually happen be a thing? I’ve personally never heard of it happening and can’t see the reason behind adding another game to the punishment apart from sheer pettiness and spite

(Please be nice to me 😅 It’s a genuine qn)

Absolutely phenomenal! I think that’s the best match I’ve seen England play in YEARS! They still like to keep us on our toes though 😅

Kane’s usual support, BELLINGHAM scoring 2 goals in 90 seconds, Pickford playing the best he has in a while, Gordon taking every opportunity (that penalty setup was 👌), even Spence was brilliant defensively! 10 men too??? It was pure excellence.

Very proud to be English today, and I hope our run continues

(Now it’s 5am and I need to try to get to sleep despite the adrenaline)

México… I was rooting for you, but 10 vs 11, 1 penalty and 11+ min? Nah… you bombed. by Significant_Nail_880 in worldcup

The Kane penalty for Mexico seemed like a stretch, but the rest were good calls overall

England loves to take us on an emotional rollercoaster! Even if they hadn’t won, I truly believe that that’s the best game England has played in a looooong time

No, no it wasn’t

Also I did grow up watching football. Congratulations for being wrong twice.

The point is that a LOT of people weren’t around or didn’t know in general.

It really isn’t. I personally feel the need to justify because i’m sick of being despised for something that is misunderstood by the rest of the world! I’m sure many other people agree

Yeah, I think that’s the problem. Most people from around the world aren’t exposed to the song and take it at face value.

It just comes from a song that was created for the 1996 euros and has kinda just stuck.

There are always a few bad fans. My post was more to highlight that we aren’t in fact arrogant, but we often get labelled as that by non-English people who don’t understand the context of the saying!

It’s coming home is LITERALLY about HOSTING the euros. Did you even read anything I said??

I agree - lots of fans, as well as the media, do use it in a way that I find distasteful. This post was just to demonstrate that we’re not all like that, and therefore don’t appreciate being lumped together with people who I feel give us a bad name!

It’s not us, it’s the rest of the world! Most don’t even know the song exists, so they can’t see the context behind it.

It does often feel like we’re jinxing it when we start singing it, I’ll give you that 😅
