Yup, sums up some of you pretty well.

Ok, some IDIOT claimed it to be true, some more IDIOTS in mainstream media took it and run with it, without actually investigating the rules. You know, click-bait "journalists" working for daily web portals. Refereeing experts basically laughed at that, and in 2 days came rebuttal.
also idgi..what where they tring to do
Google says "England tried to exploit a loophole in the rulebook following Croatia’s goal, however. Seeing that all of the opposition outfield players were out of their half, they restarted play from kickoff in an attempt to score. According to FIFA law, you are allowed to resume play if all of the opposing team’s outfield personnel are off the pitch."
The ref stopped them before they could score because you know, he didnt want to start a 3rd world war by allowing it to go in.
)
As it turns out there is NOTHING in rules about that idiotic "all players left the field, we can quickly kick off and score on empty goal" which is a definition of fake news, and testament to fact that journalism is dead corpse, and anyone can print/write anything they fucking please.
However, there is a rule that referee gives a kick-off signal when both teams are in their respective HALF PITCH, and that negates this stupid rumor.
Not to be more of a cunt than I usually am, but is that surprising? England won 1 WC half a century ago. Uruguay won it 68 years ago. No one sees England as regular wc winning material. Except the English. I know football history and english culture etc etc, but no one outside England really cares all that much. You should see the drama here in Switzerland every time there's a wc or uefa cup. The Swiss set up this huge amount of expectations that their team might just, just this once, make it to the quarter finals and then the whole thing falls apart and everybody pretends not to care until next time. In other words, I think most nations that are half passionate about football have their dream of the cup coming to them.

Trying to score, because they don't know the actual rules.
You could also see in one of first England games Tripper didnt celebrate goal, stayed in bounds. Also Portugal, Jose Fonte got signaled to stay in pitch while everyone was celebrating with Ronaldo. Due to a ghost rule..
Can you explain it, because I seriously don't get it.
England invented football, has a strong league filled with talent from abroad. Not to mention that richer nations tend to do better anyway due to ability to invest in training. Yet their record at international tournaments is abysmal. Yet when you hear English football fans, they seem to be always convinced that this time around they'll win and turn into barbarians the second they don't.
So yeah, I don't get the obsession.

This post is just demonstrating your don't understand what's going on at, proving my pointNot to be more of a cunt than I usually am, but is that surprising? England won 1 WC half a century ago. Uruguay won it 68 years ago. No one sees England as regular wc winning material. Except the English. I know football history and english culture etc etc, but no one outside England really cares all that much. You should see the drama here in Switzerland every time there's a wc or uefa cup.

It's a form of self deprecating hope. We believe it's coming home because it's a banging footie anthem and it's more fun than not believing. It's not a means to an end. It is what it is.
Club football is still massively more of an emotional investment for english fans, the euros and the world cup are festivals of football. It's a very different mindset.
Are you insane? We are the LEAST likely to every think we're going to win. We have so little optimism in our national team that it's basicalyl a running joke.
That's exactly why this year was so out of the ordinary.....people actually started to believe in the team in a bit. Even then i doubt you'd find anybody outside of realy loons that actually thought we'd win the cup.
People just don't get the British "lol, we fucking suck but lets go nuts anyway" stance.
TBH i blame our media. its what outsiders mostly see and it doesn't work at all.
It’s just self-deprecating humour mate, very British and never meant in bad faith - at least not from me.Can you explain it, because I seriously don't get it.

A surprisingly good analysis by old football players. Called out Southgate due to tactical failures. You can see they know their shit, pitch-tactics wise.
I mean the answer to the question is just "Yes".
Croatia absolutely deserve to be in the final.
From the outside your hooligans/hardcore fans don't look like they are in on some sort of joke. They seem pretty serious about your team's success.Are you insane?

What nations hooligans don't look serious? And don't tell me other nations don't have them, ours aren't even close to the worst these days.From the outside your hooligans/hardcore fans don't look like they are in on some sort of joke.

They remembered they were late for a cuppa
Yeah, don't all nations do this? I don't think most English expected us to win, but it's a nice bit of national identity/shitpostingNot to be more of a cunt than I usually am, but is that surprising? England won 1 WC half a century ago. Uruguay won it 68 years ago. No one sees England as regular wc winning material. Except the English.

That's an entirely different issue, and results in a justified and pure rage.
Football is the faith fuelled Church of the modern era.
Fanatics gonna fanatic.
:Shrug:
I still think the biggest issue is that Croatia played until the final whistle and England didn't. Yes, the English showed some lack of experience in passing etc, but they are definitely talented and they're faster. France is almost certainly going to suffer from the same lack of perseverance if they get ahead before the Croats, and the Croats will almost certainly punish them for it.
