of St George, you know those little plastic ones that usually flutter from the windows of Renaults, Fiats and Seats before every International tournament? I haven't seen any, are we not as patriotic as once was

Irish fans fly there flag it's patriotic Scots fans fly there flag its patriotic Welsh fans fly there flag it's patriotic
English fans fly the flag.. It's racist.
True story.

I've seen a few in ahops and stuff. It's harmless fun. But in modern hate culture some people moan about it.

be honest now - does anyone REALLY expect anything from our team ?
I dont
hence - no flags - no expectation - no excitement
and I hope I'm wrong --absolutely

Im as fiercely loyal and patriotic to my county and the flag as anyone - its just this sorry lot who kick a football

sorry - its the passion, the caring - the interest - its just gone

This is a young side, many of whom will be making their tournament debut this time round? They won't win it or possibly even get anywhere close, but we have some skilful, fearless young attacking players. That's a step forward surely?

Certainly isn't like years gone by, flags were everywhere. There are a few out and about around our posh estate in Meir. If we somehow manage to reach the quarters the anticipation and expectation will rise no end. Expect flags galore and a double page spread in the Sun to pray for Vardys arm while Uri Geller does his stuff. Vindaloo vindaloo vindaloo nah nah.........

The 'sorry lot' is the entire establishment that sits behind it
from young mercenary players who've never done a days work in their brief lives -cosseted overpaid wusses, through to nepotisitc jobsworths in the backroom jobs who literally con a living, fucking hoards of them - right through to a manager - whose on £4m a year for what exactly ?
oh and a ticket for life at Spurs and Southampton
mind you, its got to be worth £150k a year, to make sure the hotel the teams just gone in, has free games consoles and a good Wi Fi system
jesus wept !

The jobsworths in the backroom have always been there Tone. Think you're being a bit harsh on the players. Agree they're paid too much and there's no bond between fans and players these days, but that's football in general. I think this bunch of youngsters is at least hungry to do well and isn't like the entitled failures of the 'golden generation'.

Inconsistently happened for about half a dozen games. Then as per stoke city tradition, we just gave up with it as we couldn't be arsed, or it breached health and safety rules, or we'd rather give it the groups, or its gone mouldy...or something Needless to say it was great whilst it lasted I agreee

well lets agree then - no flags because we havent really got any expectation
getting out of the group will be a bonus
but - when they face France, Spain, Germany or Italy - rest assured - they will be fucked -

Until there is a COMPLETE overhaul and re-structuring of the England hierarchy and training methods we will NEVER EVER EVER win anything.
Playing players on merit and also form isn't such a crazy idea is it?

Surely that is irrelevant. The statement is easy to understand, you obviously do not fully comprehend English or you're a complete dipstick, making it a pointless exercise trying to explain to you

In days gone by the majority of the flags were corporate freebies.
You can't any longer hand out wheel barrows full of corporate tat with no adequate plans for its disposal.
In short they have gone the way of your free supermarket shopping bags.

The FA has always been 'the FA', give the young lads a chance, they want to give it their all and try and win it. Do we expect Stoke to win the league? No, but we keep turning up to league games.

We have no chance of reaching the semis. But can't we just have a bit of fun? Well we should win our group with something to spare, that means we play a 3rd (yes third) place team in the Last 16 which will be more a less a 'gimme' so the QF's are as close to certain as makes no difference. On that basis and given the chancy nature of KO football I would say we have every change of making the semis or more. I am generally negative on this kind of thing but try as I might I can't see us fucking this one up.

Well the bookies have us a fourth favourite to win the actual competition, so they obviously think we're in with a shout of the semis.
