Remember when you couldn't even score against Costa Rica? Remember when you finished last in your group? Now you're one of the favorites to win the euro, when all you'll do is underperform like always. Hell America has won as many euros as England. When will you guys stop being delusional and admit you suck?

The delusion of the English fan base is truly one of the deepest mysteries of the universe. I think it stems from extrapolating the quality of the EPL onto their national ability, forgetting 60% of the league is non-British and they have 5 men in the top 20 scoring.

Because they see English players bossing the Prem and think, holy shit, we world class now. But they only look good with elite imports from other countries pulling the strings. When the team is all English, it's exposed.

They only watch the premier league. They see good english players vs bad english players.

They see good english players as gods. They never wonder why a big team with 100% trophy hunt is not after them. They use the "eng footballers just want to play in the best league in the world". When the eng teams stopped winning anything (aka when ferguson left) they renamed their league from "the best in the world" to "the most competitive in the world".

And before you start about man city reaching semis of cl and liverpool almost winning europa shiet:

Liverpool english players with impact:Milner, Henderson, Sturrige
Man City English players with impact: just fckin Hart.

And apart from Hart, you dont want any of these players in your sarting Euro X1.

You re going home lads, you re going home soon.

The last England match I remember vaguely caring about was against Germany in 2010. I saw that in a pub full of hundreds, and hardly anybody in there thought we would win. By the second half the entire place was screaming at England or had left to drink outside.
Nobody even remembers the 2014 WC.

>>
>>68218313
What you have to realise is most of the JFs on /sp/ have no lives outside of shitposting on this website. This is the world, and when they see the english shitposting about how we're going to win everything, they believe it. The reality is most England fans are realistic, even pessimistic about the NT. The last time there was any actual genuine belief was 2006.

Ofc I d wish to be born English. Everyone in Greece would hope but not because of football.

You have spent so many money on the thing and you ve gotten nothing, not even good campaigns (aka not just titles but your runs are shorter than Messieeee). vs we ve spent shiet, our players come up alone with no particular training and football education.

Its not us underachieving after realising these facts, despite not qualifying for as many tournaments as you did recently.
Its you underachieving and us tryharding.

This. Everyone in England knows were shit and that we won't win. No doubt people get up for tournaments and want >us to do well, but no one expects anything.

Even on /sp/ if you ignore the 'coming home' shitposting, any serious discussion is basically about why we're going to fail this year.

Still - it is coming home.

JFs are diseased 2bh.

Can you imagine if for example Czech Republic had the same players England did. Everyone would be sucking their cocks saying they're a shoe-in, they've got the best squad etc

The facts are the lads can dance Nobby's dance and they can dance it in France. England are joint favourite for the Euros.
>>
I do believe however that they haven't had a most complete roster lately. Apart from Wilshere and Rushford I beleive everyone in there deserved a call up. Aka excluding Gks u have 18 players worthy of a call up for a team with slight but still chances of winning it.
>>
>>68218461
I assume so. Saved the file ages ago.

>>68218452
/sp/ would be unbearable for about a decade if England won a major competition.
>>
>>68218359

This. From '96 - '06 we had genuine world class players and there was actual belief we could win. The 2008 fiasco was when it all died.

In 2010 we still had Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Rooney and A.Cole still in or close to their peak, but there were just too many mediocre players filling the rest of the spots for anyone to have genuine hype.

2012 everyone was shit or too old and there was zero expectations. Same with 2014.

Right now i don't think anyone truly believes we'll go all the way, but it's gonna be interesting to see the likes of Kane, Vardy, Alli etc. in their first major tournament.
>>
>>68218501
I thought we played our best football in recent memory in 2012, nothing we cpuld have done against Pirlo in the quarters tho
>>
>>68218501

I think people got really excited at the emergence of great new players like Kane, Vardy, Dele Alli, Danny Rose, Dier, Danny Drinkwater. It meant we could build basically a new squad out of great young British talent that had PROVEN themselves over the PL season

But unfortunately Roy has chosen to stick with some of the old rot like Henderson, Milner, Rooney, Lallana. Players who have basically done nothing special in their lives.

He should have been braver to be perfectly honest. He should have brought in at least one more centre back (Ryan Shawcross is the most obvious selection). He should have dropped the dead wood like Lallana and Henderson and Milner. If he planned Rooney to be in the squad then it should ONLY be in a playmaking position, which is what he has shown himself to be good in recently.

I guess Roy isn't THAT far off the mark with his selection but the lack of an extra centre back could well fucking punish us. And the inclusion of a handful of mediocre midfielders that will probably barely play (Ross Barkley is another one) is also pretty dumb. I also think five strikers wasn't strictly necessary. Kane, Vardy, Defoe and Sturridge would have been the best striker selection in my book.
>>
>>68218501
Was it in 10 or 12 when you subbed on that ancient as fuck black striker when you desperately needed goals? That was the lowest point

England has a better team than last time but i think they'll still choke with Rppney on the field.

But hey maybe vardy will chat shit and bang the euros

>>
>>68218475
Agreed on Wilshit. He's unfit, but even at the best of times he's really nothing special whatsoever, he doesn't bring anything to the team. He's equally mediocre in all aspects of the game.

Rashford being there is fully deserved though, he had a great season at Manure without much to work with. Partnering his dribbling and technique with with Vardy's pace could be unstoppable.

Milner shouldn't be there either. Drinkwater is a straight upgrade in every sense.
>>
>>68218623
The craziest thing about Wilshire is how Hodgon specifically said he didn't call up walcott because he hadn't played enough, then goes and calls up someone who has played less
>>
>>68218623

>this Drinkwater meme

when PSG buy Kante he'll be exposed as the mediocre midfielder he is, he wouldn't make the slightest difference
>>
>>68218623

I'd go with this lads
>>
>>68218665
Thank fuck that he didn't pick Walcott though. He's just a younger SWP. Dribbling into dead-ends, gets muscled off the ball and knocked around like a Rotherham tween, below-average end product... Pretty happy with the forwards that Woy chose tbqh, he got them spot on.

>>68218670
>this Kante carried the entire Lester midfield meme
He's good, but he's not that good. People are talking him up like he's one of the best midfielders in the world. The Drinkwater-Kante partnership played to both of their strengths and allowed them both to flourish. Don't underestimate Drinkwater.
