- France: https://dj0j0ofql4ht…maquito
- well, thanks for clearing that up :-skingsteven
- Maquito you are a cunt. Those guys are French. My wife her dad is from Congo, that does not make her African.tank02
- I was saying the same to a few friends. France consist of like 99% guys from AfricaHAMT
- @maquito are you effin' serious? this is 2018, dude. Lame.Krassy
- @HAMT don't be so ignorant. Can't believe in 2018 we have people judging people by skin color. Disturbing.Krassy
- @tank - I suppose that depends upon your preference and perspective. Black Americans refer to themselves as 'African Americans' - are they all wrong?detritus
- Tank -of course it does having a dad from the Congo means you have Congolese descent aka African descent, what’s wrong with that?_niko
- Panama’s black population is 9%. their football team is 99% black, the government is .5% black is this ok or should there be some kind of parity?_niko
- England looks like a pretty good representation of the country’s demographics but Sweden could use a splash of colour lol_niko
- Nooo! Krassy, tank, please: I have absolutely not intended to make a discriminative judgement. No way. I feel horrible for being understood as a fucking racistmaquito
- I feel it’s remarkable that france has several players with african roots, connection, surnames.. fuck I feel horrible :(maquito
- Its OK Maquito.tank02
- If Nigeria had 9 of 11 white players, you'd comment and call it a European team and no one would have an issue. They're French, but they're Africans. So what.set
- It's like the people that jump to get offended by maquito's comment are implying that somehow being African is a bad thing...set
- Otherwise why is his comment offensive?set
- if their parents were Dutch or German you would never here about it. Identity politicsDillinger
- i don't think the comment is racist, but it the context of a reply to a post stating that all the remaining teams are European it appears to suggest that thekingsteven
- French team is less French because of it's ethnic diversity when they've actually opposed racial quotas on the national team on the basis of them beingkingsteven
- constitutionally very un-french.kingsteven
- Sarkozy said "setting quotas would be the end of the Republic" etc. As daft as national football is, the diversity of their team is IMO a better reflection onkingsteven
- France than how well they kick a ball around a pitch... To make a jump from 'European teams' to 'European ethnicity' is a bit short sighted right?kingsteven
- Given that it's also a frequent jumping off point for racist cuntery, without the context of maquito's later reply, tank was just right to call it out.kingsteven
- D'accord @king.maquito

The Guardian is getting a bit sick to the tits of all the play-acting and players mobbing and disrespecting the refs (I'm looking at you, Ronaldo, and your little 'fuck you' to the ref in your last match).
And rightly so.

My walk home last night coincided with extra time and, I think, penalties so it was at once the quietest walk back and the noisiest. The streets themselves were empty of cars and people, but every last pub and cafe or any place of public congregation with the blue glow of a television was thronged.
Every few moments the relative quiet was pierced by joyous or tortured exclamations that gradually bled into each other. By the end of my walk they were the same and I was hard-pushed to work out what the result was.
As a pseudo Scot who cares not a fudge for football, it was a lonely experience, but also quite a magical one.
I don't hope that England do badly*, but by fuck you cunts will be insufferable for decades if you win.

My personal pet theory, as mentioned beforehand, is that the machinations of world order will somehow conspire to make it an England vs. Russia final, with England edging a win, thereby cementing the virtue of Brexit and isolationism, whilst pushing a favourable Russian agenda but keeping them in their geopolitical place. Wit hall the Royal shit this year, Queenie and her Lizard chums are using all the soft power they can to maintain the illusion of relevance in our small isle.- I can't stand the Scottish thing of supporting Whoever- Isn't- England. I feel it's meant more poisonously than Scots would like to let on.detritus
- England are due to meet Russia in the semi final. France in the final. Most countries have a single sworn enemy. We have half the globe.Fax_Benson
- insufferable cunts, hahaMilan
- I think England will win and the feeling will be so alien and uncontrollable they will invade Poland.MrT

Surprisingly I actually found myself routing for England by the end of that match but simultaneously Clive Tyldesley made me want to join the IRA. I recon sports commentators contribute massively to the hatred of the English team up here and in Scotland, it was really hard to watch...
Really wish they would get some new blood in that booth... we have to watch that shit too... I guess at least it wasn't Lawrenson. 4 english lads in the ITV studio too, would have been nice to have a bit of objectivity, if not a colombian - someone regional UK?
- Ally McCoist has been really good on ITV but generally gets the minnow games with Jon Champion. Certainly wasn't going to get the England game, more's the pityFax_Benson
- lol at "if not a colombian". what do think this is, test match special? my experience of footy is the fervent patriotism,hans_glib
- hmmm join the IRA you say?Hayzilla
- and refusal to accept the other lot are any good ever.hans_glib
- sad to say.hans_glib
- My point is that the coverage is for NI, Scotland, Wales too... every other match other than England has both sides represented.kingsteven
- yes but that's because it doesn't matter.
i watched the highlights and the commentary was outrageously parochial. a colombian jammed his head into a tommy andhans_glib - tommy fell to the ground clutching his face, even tho no contact had been made with his face. no-one commented on that, instead kept calling out the colombian.hans_glib
- lol at "parochial"... i meant biasedhans_glib
- heh, it was daft indeed. Just pointing out that UK commentary is dominated by English and it does no favours for the general perception of English folks...kingsteven
- werdhans_glib
- but are we really judged by the quality (or lack thereof) of our footy commentators?hans_glib
- Well get good at something then ya useless Scottish cunts.Hayzilla
- Oh that's low... both Ireland and Northern Ireland are ranked way higher than Scotland :-Dkingsteven
- It's shite, would gladly watch the RTE coverage but it's blocked in the north... even if N.I. scraped in it would have been all England on ITV.kingsteven

I think last night mustve taken a few days off my life. Did England play up to the Columbian unfair play tactics? Possibly. Someone I know brought up the fact that domestic violence goes up when England lose. Could that be because partners don't have the same passion for the sport often saying "it's only a fucking game, get over it"
