Can't say they've ever made me want them to win a World Cup. '94 of course. A tournament for which they miraculously qualified in the very last minute by knocking out France, then beat Argentina and Germany. The latter described by 90 MINUTES as "a triumph for deformity over efficiency". Yet they were so mercurial, they started the finals losing 3-0... and ended them losing 4-0, after a third place match in which Stoichkov, desperate for the golden boot, refused to pass to anyone at any point. Old Hristo was a right cynical so and so; only Bobby Robson ever seemed to bring out someone better in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXX Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 It is easy to say England should just walk off but there’s a while raft of legal issues that would go with that. There’s millions of pounds at stake here and all these things will have to be proved by FIFA against Bulgaria. That’s why you must adhere to referee’s decisions.

CJGJ Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Another serious incident is the death of an English fan who was being taken into custody and is now dead..it stinks to be honest if you read the statement below. Meanwhile, a statement on Bulgaria's Ministry of Interior said police officers in Sofia were called to help a 32-year-old "foreign national" at about 10:00 local time (08:00 BST). "The police received a signal for a man in a helpless condition", it said, and he was taken to hospital. "He suddenly began to act aggressively, raging and threatening." The ministry said the man died while being taken to the Sofia Police Department and "work to clarify the circumstances of the incident continues".

shaun.lawson Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Whisper it, but there's an element of dark comedy in all this. England fans as the innocent party suddenly on the moral high ground, I mean. Around the world, plenty of people will say "but what about their fans in Prague on Friday? Where's the punishment for them?" And in some respects, they'd have a point. It'll certainly be seen by some as colonialist, always hypocritical England demanding the world dance to our tune while ignoring all our own problems. Those wankers in Prague? They're a product of our society. These people don't only exist at football matches. Those hooded members of the local brains trust tonight? They're a product of Bulgarian society. Sectarian bigots who follow the Old Firm? A product of Scottish society. Racist ultras? A product of Italian society. And so on, and so on, and so on. But the problem here is it's gonna end up in a points-scoring exercise: England slapping ourselves on the back, congratulating ourselves over our lack of racism and pointing fingers at others. Given The Sun's disgustingly racist treatment of Raheem Sterling, the Mail's equally racist treatment of Meghan Markle, the huge rise in racist hate crimes since the Brexit referendum, that millions of people continue to buy racist hate rags, and a racist government implementing racist policies each and every day, I beg to differ.
