International Soccer: POCH

Woof 100% a foul, lol clearance… and goal for the Danes

Damn near the finish of the tournament, off the post on that looping ball

Yo brits… am I a terrible person for finding this ten German bomber song drama hilarious?

For those not aware:

There were 10 German bombers in the air,

There were 10 German bombers in the air,

There were 10 German bombers, 10 German bombers,

10 German bombers in the air.

And the RAF from England shot 1 down,

And the RAF from England shot 1 down,

And the RAF from England, RAF from England,

The RAF from England shot 1 down.

These verses are then repeated with one more bomber being shot down each time, the 10th verse becoming “There was one” and “shot it down”, until the number of bombers reaches zero. The last two verses of the song are:

There were no more German bombers in the air,

There were no more German bombers in the air,

There were no more German bombers, no more German bombers,

No more German bombers in the air.

Cos the RAF from England shot them down,

Cos the RAF from England shot them down,

Cos the RAF from England, RAF from England,

The RAF from England shot them down.

Also, lol:

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the song has been sung by English football fans at some matches against the Germany national football team. It is typically accompanied by horizontally outstretched arms and a gentle swaying motion, as if to mimic an aircraft in flight, and on some occasions, the word “air” is replaced with “war”.

This has been deemed ‘racist’, which, again, just makes me laugh. FIFA acting on this while doing nothing for decades about Mexicans screaming the equivalent of bundle of sticks in Spanish is too much.

Honestly, the idea of being a little airplane in the stands singing seems so absurd I just laugh. Maybe there’s some little thing a decade or so ago that makes this more racist or offensive?

Bad day for Wales, nothing really went right for them + the Danes where superb

Ref has been utter shit

Yeah, that tackle was barely a yellow. Not even a VAR check. Only thing I can think of is something happened that led the ref to believe that was an intentional hack.

omg goal or not goal WHO CARES

Does a red even matter at that point? Does it carry forward to his next international match?

No.

Hard disagree, he lashed out when the ball was long gone, straight red is good even if he happens not to injure the player.

I mean that’s the kinda thing I tended to do when they got past me and I knew exactly what I was doing there.

:face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Italy are my favorites right now. Think they’ll crush Austria.

Yeah I’ve been bumming them up, so I hope they win like 4-0 tonight :rofl:

Austria seems like they’re going to play a high line and go for this game. Should be great to watch

Game is playing like a score of 5-2 is coming

Austrians are bossing this tbh

Austria is going to get fucked on counter after counter trying to play like this imo

Like that :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Run into the box mate ffs

Austria system makes no fucking sense to me, so haphazard
