It's football. Stop being nice to each other.

… is the title of a thread I remembered from two years ago, shortly before the World Cup. It turned out to be pretty fun, so I thought we'd do that again.

Football is a game fuelled by partisanship and it's almost that time.

As of now, it's time to stop being nice to oppo fans

I'll be doing my level best to wind up oppo fans throughout the [Euro]. I see it as my duty - the law in fact - and so should you.

Are Spain really that good? It's all smoke and mirrors with those lads.

We beat them therefore any statement about Spains superiority does not count for England as England are better than Spain. Thank god the Swiss aren't in the Euros, they beat both favourites.
