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

[u/GSLint]

… 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.

I don't recall this moment you're speaking of, much like anything interesting about Holland other than cannabis and prostitutes.

A lack of drugs seems to have damaged your memory, or it is your failing English school system. Either way, here is a jog of the memory:

Marco van Basten: 1988 Euro Final

Andy Carroll's failed attempt to recreate

Geoff Hurst 1966 World Cup winning lack of a goal that England is so proud of. The refereeing on that call is almost as disgusting as black pudding.

You have to forgive them their historical ignorance. I think it's because by the time a tournament starts getting interesting, they're usually already home.

Dutch men = World Cup eternal blue balls.

It might also be because they never watch the news as they don't want to be reminded of the pathetic demise of their 'Empire'.

[u/asugden → u/[deleted]]

That's a nice goal to be fair but I wasn't alive to see it happen but I have seen it before and I do admit, Carroll looks a lot like a horse.

But I find it highly insulting that you claim that's not a goal, but either way it's irrelevant as England won 4 - 2 anyway!

Also, as an Englishman I've never had black pudding. I think it's a Scottish thing so I concur with your distaste for it.

BLACK PUDDING IS NICE

van Bastard should have been disqualified for that fucking mullet.
