i think hands-down the most irritating thing that happens when England play in a major tournament is when countries who have historical reasons to dislike the English (Scotland as a milder example, but especially everyone they/Britain literally COLONISED), obviously want to root against them, and then we have to read thinkpieces by so-called leftists (who lbr already have a preconceived notion of football as a "chavvy" sport) about how nobody should ever root for England to lose a game bc the domestic violence rates go up when it happens so if you're not cheering for England you're pro domestic violence and you're an anti feminist
