All false optimism and delusion?



The fans are allowed to encourage their team during the game.I read some astonishing criticism on here about the manager and some players before a ball was kicked.

The false optimism and delusion started after the Panama Game built up by the media and extended to by somefans after winning the penalty shoot out against Colombia.

No trolling from me.
If I get banned for commenting on current topics maybe I would not want to be part of this forum.
You have mentioned me getting banned three times now,it's as if you are trying to influence the Mods to make that decision.
Now that's trolling !!

Not really mate, you got banned for slagging off england fans and the media last month.

You are now doing exactly the same once again, within seconds of coming back.

I'll be polite.

That's rank fucken bollocks.

The media were by and large, restrained. They are all too aware of past WC campaigns and how they reacted. This time there was a slight maturity shown. It wasn't until the semis that any excitement built to any appreciable level and by that stage of a tournament it's more than justified regardless of form or opposition beforehand.
Even your own words there contradict the rest of your post by using the phrase, 'some fans'.

As for Sportskeeda? After your hearty recommendation many of us checked it out.
And your claim that they were spot on? Well that's just an outright falsehood.
They might be the 'go to' site for kabaddi scores, cricket bribe standings & female tourist molestations, but for football I'd rather trust The Daily Mash or The Onion for accuracy.

Was that what I got banned for,that was not what was said on the tin.
I think England had a decent competition surprising many people including Scots.
You railed at them before a ball was kicked and carried on through the tournament.
That is your preogative of course as it is my preogative to pass comment

What are you talking about?

You couldnt find any undue hype in the English media, so you referenced an incredibly obscure INDIAN website as proof of the English media going mad.

And the English media didnt get that hyped up at all, at all points everyone and the media was saying, weve done well to get where we are, no one expected anything. Even I think we did well to get where we finished.

When you have to reference SPORTSKEEDA as proof of anything, its an act of desperation to try and antagonise. You knew what you were doing, everyone was getting excited and you wanted to spoil it. I can criticise England, because Im fucking English and I did, I wasn't impressed after the tunisia game, and Im still not convinced. However, you set out with your proof from SPORTSKEEDA in an effort to piss everyone off. That was your goal.

Its not though, thats why you got banned, because it was so obvious. Why would you reference an indian website to show how hyped the english media are becoming, if you werent deliberately trying to antagonise?

Surely if you couldnt find any stories about how hyped up the english media were, you'd just leave it, because they clearly werent getting hyped up? If you didnt have an agenda, thats what you would have done.
