Not really. I am British, of Irish descent. My home and what remains of my family are here. So are United.
I want to contribute, in some small way, to making this country a little more tolerant, a little more compassionate. These things have given way to bigotry and selfishness, especially since June 2016 when hatred was allowed above the waterline.

Patriots.
One murdered an MP. The other plotted to do so. Each were/are members of Right-wing racist organisations. They were emboldened to stick their worthless heads above the parapets by the 2016 Referendum.
One, a waste of oxygen named Thomas Mair, shouted ‘Britain First’ as he killed an elected representative of democracy, Jo Cox. The other sub-human, one Jack Renshaw belongs to an illegal Neo-Nazi group National Action. He bought a machete with which he planned to kill another MP, Rosie Cooper and subsequently a police officer.
Both groups march behind the flag of St. George.
I usually have a lot of time for your posts, mainly your "bladey bladesness" stuff. They're good and point out that a lot of fans can't look past the end of their noses etc..
However, you turned this thread from a chat about the England football team into a political tirade. You actually have come across as a total bellend if truth be told.
Just because people want England to win, doesn't make them bigoted racists. I was born here and have lived here my whole life. I always want England to win because I'm English. Not just football, in all sports that I don't even follow.
My parents are pure English and I'm not aware of another nationality in our history. If there was, I'd probably have a soft spot for that nation too.
I'm a football fan and I support Sheffield United, not because I chose to, but because my dad and my uncle's do. My children both support SUFC as a result of me.
As a football fan, I love to watch the biggest tournament on earth, and i'm proud that my country is doing so well in it.
Our country has A LOT of pure fucking wankers, most countries do, however, they are (luckily) a minority when compared to the millions of English people in the world.
Your posts suggest we shouldn't support England because we have some racist tools that live in our country.
Should we not holiday in Australia because that's where Chopper Read is from? What about America? They killed John Lennon FFS.
Why can't we all just embrace some good news for the country for once? It's a time when the whole nation comes together. It's a time I can enjoy a football match with my piggy mates and cheer on the same team.
We don't need dickheads who put themselves on a pedestal as better people than those with different views to them to call us all out as racist cunts.
