- After watching the last two Euros and seeing the reactions to England's defeat in both finals, I thought I'd try to figure out why England are so unpopular around the world.
What are your thoughts?
Let me know how you feel about the England team in the comments!
#england #football #subscribe #new #trending #viralvideo
To this day, the English media AND the English fans still haven't stopped with the WW2 references when they play against us (I'm from Germany), even though the vast majority of them (or us, for that matter) wasn't even alive OR old enough to participate in it at the time. Whenever there's a match between us, expect at least a few news outlets to make references to the Blitzkrieg, bombings, nazis or other shit, and it's getting really, really old.
There's the sense of entitlement too, as other comments have already mentioned. They haven't won anything in almost 6 decades (even that win was sketchy), and yet they think they are god's gift to the sport. Premier League fans only make this worse, given how quick they are to call other leagues a Farmer's League when their own league was won by the same team seven times over the last eight years. It's the country that kickstarted the price inflation in football and pricing out smaller European teams that were doing well before (I'm thinking of my favorite club Werder Bremen for example, who were a force in the 2000s until prices started to spike and they couldn't keep up anymore once investors had a few years to do their shit), and while that isn't directly related to the English national teams, it still colors one's impressions of it to a degree. Especially given how many English fans are just... fine with clubs being owned by a single multi-billion dollar entity.
One more issue I can think of - the English seem to think they can handle alcohol far better than they actually do, and with a fan culture that seems to put importance on drinking it, you get a lot of nuisances around. Let's just say I had some really unpleasant experiences with English fans like that during the Euro...
@segafreak2000 great comment, thanks for your insight. I'm always interested in reading how other supporters feel about this particular topic. Sorry to hear that you had some issues with England fans during the Euros ☹️
World War 2 songs are distasteful and need to be stopped. Saying 'banter' doesn't make it any less disrespectful. I don't think many of the people who sing those songs know anything about the history either.
Also I agree 100% with your point about the Premier League, though I get the feeling the other big leagues in Europe are starting to catch up again now... we'll see!
Honestly pal, I agree with a lot of what you say (the point about the dodgy 66 win is a new one to me, yes I know about the ball over the line but we did win by 2 goals and we were winning until the last kick of normal time before a dodgy free kick was given to the Germans, but I didn’t know about the other points in the video). However I take issue with the self entitlement, we have won 1 tournament in nearly 100 years! We know this, you know this, everyone knows this, how can we possibly feel self entitled? If you look closer at our club fans you will notice the way they all support their clubs. It is a mixture of love, pride, loyalty, hope and devotion in spite of the fact the vast majority win nothing! Many have never seen their club side or country win ANYTHING, I myself waited from the age of 8 to 39 to see my club win a trophy. The 3 lions song is popular because it wonderfully captures all those elements and I can honestly say with a hand on my heart that the perception of the outside world to those lyrics is wide of the mark. We are culturally very different to any other nation and that is in large part due to our history, our island mentality and our relationship with this sport that we invented (sorry I just had to mention that fact).
@jasonsutton4415 No apology necessary. I enjoy this sort of debate and it's great to see other people's views on this subject. I thought I was going to get a lot more hate over this video than I have done, to be honest 🤣
I agree with you about the three lions song, although I do find it annoying, I do think the rest of Europe (maybe the world?!) sees it very differently to how it's meant by the English fans. I do wish they'd stop singing about WW2 though 🤦♂️
Who's your team by the way?
@@GamingBlomp Manchester City.
@jasonsutton4415 wow so you really did go from one extreme to another! ❤️
5 in a row this year?
I think one reason england are so unpopular is because the fans cry about "injustices" from several decades ago, yet as soon as they get a questionable decision in their favour they are quick to gloat about it to the other team's fans. "go home to your dutch farm and cry about it some more you lost get over it" says the same group of fans who have been crying about ronald koeman not getting a red card, for the last 31 years.
Lies again? Jules Rimet Cellphone Home
As a non England football team fan living in the UK , I don’t like the sense of entitlement. Yes, they’ve gotten to the final stages of a few recent tournaments but many fans and the media compare their football team to teams that have won many tournaments and have firmly cemented themselves in football history. England have won one World Cup, a dodgy one at that. Other nations are more realistic about their chances. Nothing wrong with wanting your team to win but some fans and the media are proper delusional. The hypocrisy of the fans and media also irritates me. They’re quick to claim they’ve hard done by with certain a decisions and love to stereotype certain other nations as cheaters and divers but have no level of self awareness, they’re just as guilty. Oh we’re English gentlemen, we don’t cheat and dive like the dirty foreigners 🙄 I could go on 😅
Haha, I actually think that cheating and play acting is something we have got better at. It's part of the game and there is an art to killing a game. We wouldn't have got to two finals without it, so yeah it's stupid of fans to take the morale high ground, if you need to cheat within the rules to win games then so be it.
I agree. They think they're Brazil, Germany or Italy, top tier, but they're more like the Netherlands, second tier. They're good, but so far, they weren't THAT good, except that one time in 1966. Did they deserve the World Cup in 1966? I don't know, we can only speculate, but I will say this: their extra time goals shouldn't have been allowed. There's the one with the ball falling on the line, but there's also goal 4 which was scored with random people having invaded the pitch. Normally, the match should have been stopped to clear them. Play shouldn't have went on. But that doesn't mean they weren't the better team, who knows how the match would have went on had their goals been disallowed?
@spearce39 I think this is a refreshing and non biased way to look at it to be honest!
@@octavianpopescu4776 Not ONE England fan thinks England are top tier. At least, not one that I've ever met, or whose comment I have read, in the last 50 years.

Arrogance and over entitlement, especially from the media. Simple.

Fully agree with you. Wonder how they can’t understand that 😊
They are disliked because they play boring defensive football and not beautiful attacking football.

The media really overhypes English players to annoying levels
English Media has an arrogance streak that annoys everyone who isn’t English, The Sun newspaper projected headlines on French buildings ahead of the World Cup game in Qatar.
@AllyStrikesBack I think the media probably annoy the England fans themselves to an extent too.
They add so much unnecessary pressure to a team who already has super high expectations.
I lived in England for 7 years and consider myself a bit of an anglophile. England were consistently atrocious during my time in the UK, but I always sensed a degree of history-based entitlement and superiority over the rest of the world, let alone the "Continent". During my time there, many England fans knew they never stood a chance, but they failed to be humble in the way they carried themselves.
The sense of entitlement isn't as bad today. It was worse during the "golden generation" era. English fans felt that bad luck was the only thing preventing them from winning a trophy.
I wonder why England fans have a different reputation to Scotland and Wales fans? You don't hear Scotland and Wales having the same issue with controversial chants and crowed trouble.
@jackmellor5536 I'm not sure but certainly at Euro 2024 the Scots had a fantastic reputation!
Other than the chants I'm not sure England fans were too badly behaved in Germany though were they?
@@GamingBlomp For me, the worst thing England fans did in Euro 2020 should be mentioned is the way they went after the young German girl after the England v Germany game. There were a lot of offensive posts about her, which certainly crossed the line in my book. A Welsh fan done a fundraiser for her, and the money raised went to UNICEF, which is the one good thing that came as a result of the incident.
@jackmellor5536 I remember those posts going around at the time. Pretty low to pick on a child.
At least some good came out of a distasteful situation!
@Krampus5164 they do because they hear England fans going on about them all the time 😂
@Krampus5164 what do you think about the English media and the way they treat your players though?
As an England fan, our fans need to stop saying it’s coming home. Sure, we have a great team and have made 2 finals in a row but it’s not coming home until we find a new manager that is better than Southgate and doesn’t play defensive and boring football all the time. I nearly fell asleep watching all the England group stage games. I just wish our fans would stop saying it’s coming home and going on about the 1966 World Cup.
@@Luke86811 I thought they were going to beat Spain!
Who do you think will be the new manager?
@@GamingBlomp Same, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be. and I think it will be Potter or Poch
@Luke86811 England with an Argentine manager would be interesting but yeah I can't see anyone other than Potter getting the job to be honest.
@@GamingBlomp I agree
@@Krampus5164 it should. But I have a feeling England will regret Southgate leaving...
A large part of definitely the British Empire, there's no way around that. The second biggest reason is the British press, and lastly the old school English hooligans, who caused chaos where ever they went in the 80's and early 90's. It's also socially acceptable to dislike England in most countries. I'm Irish and I like the English players and league well enough. I also remember the Lansdowne Road incident, where a small group of English fans made a show of themselves and their country. Things are a lot better now and I can;t see any reason to hate the English team barring the past. Best of luck lads.
@D4zza I'm Welsh and I feel exactly the same as you about them. I can't bring myself to get fully behind them but it wouldn't upset me too much if they'd won the euros.
When I was looking online most of the comments were that people dislike the media. There were lots of stories about historic crowd trouble but not so much now...
@@GamingBlomp I'm a Brit but don't consider myself English, mum from NI raised Catholic. I like the Welsh but my relation with English is very complicated. I don't like them as I grew up in the South East though northerners are much better. But if anyone from another country slags them off, they'll have me to answer to.
@@GamingBlomp I'm English and I don't follow England(or anyone else internationally), because I simply do not care about any team that isn't Spurs.
@@aaronbeat1136 that's fair. Club football is a much, much higher standard than international at the moment. Ps I like big Ange, I wouldn't be surprised if you're top 4 this year.
Yea, the fact that the England fans still annoyingly boast about WC 66 makes me think another title would make it unbearable.
What also baffles me is that the English believe they can upset Germans by mocking the Nazis' defeat in WW2. As a German I thank god and the US of A every day for that. Cheers.
The English strategy for winning the war was to wait for the Americans and Russians to win it for them...
It's three things for me: 1. Its coming home 2. Arrogance in the fans, oh we'll smash them mantality 3. Being bad at playing, yet getting moments because of quality players, which comes across as lucky.
I've said it before and I'll say it again if you have a problem with "it's coming home" then you do not understand the song or what it means to be English, because the song isn't boastfully claiming to be the best, or saying they deserve it.
@@aaronbeat1136 the song can be taken in different ways, I used to like the song, now I detest it because of the constant "it's coming home" chants since 2018 WC for some reason, these chants weren't even said so much when the song came out during Euro 96 ....it can be taken like it's some arrogance behind it , what home is football coming back to? Yes English invented the sport over 150 years ago that's it, and England won 1 tournament in that time ( and still clutch onto that 58 years going now )...the chant needs to stop and England fans need a reality check
@@jonblazeinc you're proving his point lmfao
@tommcevoy4872 no....when the song came out yes it had a feeling of English pride , since 2018 WC that's changed imo
@@jonblazeinc it's a tongue in cheek jab at themselves and always has been. Anyone who thinks England fans are essentially singing "we're gonna win" just doesn't understand the song.
I may be wrong but I heard that when Mexicans didn't qualify for the World Cup they supported Spain 🙄
I for one am Central American and Spain are my brothers!
I think you're onto something, I mean all countries have like friends. If Spain is eliminated, I support any Latam country (Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, you name it...Well, I support them when they play any other teams). I also support our neighbours, Portugal, unless they play against us. Our countries have deep ties. Which ties does England have to other countries? Australia, New Zealand and The US, I guess. There, you have 3 countries that don't hate you, I suppose.
By the way, Brexit comes to mind, disrespectful, awful tourists come to mind, cold entitled distant people come to mind...
I think that not wanting England to win goes way beyond "footballistic" reasons. England will never be the underdog, because of their imperialistic past and their entitlement as a "society".
Booing other national anthems is truly enraging. Do not expect anyone to like you when you are showing hatred for a symbol of people's homelands.
I’m Scottish and that Euros was the first time I’ve actively rooted against them at a tournament. Southgate and Pickford are total clowns
@pierer91 You're Scottish and the only thing you ever have to celebrate football wise is England losing. Shows how sad you all are!
I'm English and it's for that very reason i don't support them.
Not Gareth for me, he is a nice person. But Pickford yes. He is this Magaluf bad behavior drinking guy on Vacation :D
First time you supported against the english? you,aren’t a Scotland fan, we support EVERYONE who plays against that mob of racists.
I'm English and I've always hated Scottish arrogance
From France : no hatred towards England Football team but an intense disgust regarding some England supporters behaviour both outside the stadium and inside. Booing your opponent anthem is really breaking the camel's back in that regard. Other supporters loves their country too and demonstrating such disregard is often seen as an insult. As a french i would shrugg it off but some countries are more sensitive to those antics.
There were boos for our national anthem too so why didn't you mention that? This is a lot of the problem, they (the media) always focus on the negative when it comes to England but say nothing about other supporters doing exactly the same type of things. It isn't just in football either, over the last 20 years it seems everyone can say what they like about England as a Country it is now acceptable. England bashing is rife even with the media in England and as for MSN well I'll leave it there or I may get into trouble.
@@Londoneye57 ah yes a bit of whataboutism to defuse the critics eh ?
Anyway euro2024 was a sh@tshow in that regard and England fans lead the pack...sad since your anthem is heartly sung and very well appreciated by other nations.
tory party + annoying fan base + deluded newspapers
Because they have zero respect for other teams, they feel entitled to win, like the euros, you got the sense that they felt they should win every game 5~0. Like other teams won’t fight? Other teams also want to win and make their nations proud
If England really did have zero respect for other teams then they would have lost all their games, that's what usually happens in football! 🤣
@@robertmac9057 ok
No 1 reason the Heysel Disaster in 1985
There were mitigating circumstances leading to that such as Italian violence on English fans even the year before (Liverpool vs Roma) but yes English hooliganism was a big problem in the 80s
@@jonblazeinc Yep, the Italian fans were no saints yet as usual England fans get all the blame
@ChrisumChrisumChrisum666 True, can we say Scouse Not English about the Heysel disaster?
There are many reasons, as you mention in the video, some of them are historic, some of them a result of the behaviour of English fans in the past. It doesn't matter if they are slightly better now, the damage is done and their reputation it is what it is
But on top of that there is the arrogance of the English pundits. One thing is to root for your team but another one is to dismiss the rivals as inferior.
For example, in the last euro cup, it was clear to everybody that Spain had the difficult path to the final, having to defeat Croatia, Italy, Germany and France. While England had the easy one and even so struggled to make it, relying on last minute goals and dodgy refereeing
But even so, the majority of English commentators kept saying the Spanish team was inferior, just a bunch of schoolboys, one that played in Saudi Arabia, a couple from minor Spanish teams and one that played in the premier league but wasn't any good
Some even went as far as hoping Lamine Yamal got a "good kicking" in order to "teach him a valuable lesson"
Top it up with the obnoxious "is coming home" and you have a recipe for not being very liked
Also in terms of general likeness when going against Spain there is no competition
Oh yeah, great point. The English pundits were mentioned a lot when I was looking around online.
I remember Rio Ferdinand at euro 2020 saying 'I don't care who England play in the final because they'll beat both of these teams' - then Lineker referring to the young player of the tournament at the 2022 world cup 'does Bellingham have a chance?' - there are countless examples of this 🤦♂️
Nothing wrong with being confident, but some (not all) of the pundits come across as extremely biased...
@@GamingBlomp Ferdinand just isn't very bright in this respect. What's wrong with Lineker asking if Bellingham has a chance?
@taiko666 it was just so obvious that he wasn't even in contention for it, the media just love to hype him up 🤦♂️ I like Rio but yeah that's how he comes across 🤣
And not to mention the extremely arrogant Jude Bellingham. He is lucky to be playing with top-class players at Real Madrid. When he plays for England, he behaves as if his England teammates are at the level of Real Madrid and entitled to win. Also, removing their runners-up medal the moment they receive it at the podium - disrespect to the opponents who deserved to win the tournament.
@humptydumpty20 I like to try to stay neutral as much as I can but I really don't find Bellingham likeable, at all.
Make a video about why people should like England, it would be more concise. 66 seconds is my bet.
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia 🤣🤣
For me a big part of my dislike is that the English fans seem to be the only ones that consistently boo other countries' anthems
@carolinj7398 unfortunately this is true. Really disrespectful.
This has been going on a long time. I attended an England match at Wembley in 1981 - yes I'm old - and the England captain Kevin Keegan wrote in the programme asking England fans not to boo the opponent's anthem. He said it was both very bad manners and also stupid as it would motivate the opposition against us even more.
@robertmac9057 genuinely didn't realise it was a problem until recently. I remember the Scottish anthem being booed at Wembley in a play off game but if I remember right the Scots did the same at Hamden.
Again, to think it is only England that do this is very naive
I've noticed some Latin American, Spain, and some Eastern European countries do that trait with the anthems also - but England tend to do it to practically everyone whereas the others tend to boo more selectively just when against someone who they in particular consider as rivals. I've even seen England boo San Marino's or Moldova's anthem though, as if they need to for the motivation. It does go a step further. I find it disrespectful whenever anyone does it, but don't think England are the sole offenders.
But within the same sentiments, you do often find that English crowds in home games - as well as quite often English clubs in European games - boo loudly over any announcements in the stadiums for away fans as well - you know the benign stuff about how to catch their train connection, where to go etc., or relaying the away fan attendance, or telling them what's available food or drink wise for them at half time.
The mere instance of hearing 'foreign' just seems to trigger some England fans, and this is something which is more unique to them as well unlike the anthems bit. It's that kind of pettiness and small-mindedness about the fans and the media encouraging them that helps explain my feelings of finding them very hard to not want to lose.
They're sore winners as well as sore losers often.
I’m English and while I can understand some of the feelings of other fans towards England as a package (team, media, fans etc), I feel that England get an unjustified level of hate brought their way at international tournaments. None of what they do is unique to England, but other teams don’t get the hate. I’ll explain:
Media: I completely agree that the English media are derisory to any other team leading up to a World Cup or Euros, however I’ve been lucky enough to watch media in other countries where they also big up their team to the point of delusion. Where should the line be drawn where teams like Italy or France don’t cross but England does?
Fans: Similarly I watched fans of Italy get asked by media who they thought would win Euro 2024. The majority said Italy. Now take out that they were the champions going into the tournament, a lot of their main players had retired and aged out. This was a very different team to the 2021 team. Did anyone label Italy and their fans as arrogant? No because they were just fans supporting their team. Most England fans do the same and get labelled as arrogant… I don’t understand it.
As for fan trouble. I’m sorry to hear England fans were causing trouble in Germany. I find the WW2 songs disgraceful to be honest. It’s been almost 80 years since WW2 ended. However England fans weren’t the only ones getting violent. I found out through social media of the Dutch and Turkish fighting after their game but it got little to no mainstream coverage. Why? I reckon it’s because it wasn’t the English fans so it wouldn’t get eyes reading.
As for the ‘Home’ nations. I’ve heard a lot of people in Scotland, NI and Wales get the same coverage as the English when it comes to international tournaments. I don’t think that’s right. You guys should get your own programmes, because I understand it must be annoying to hear the announcers gushing over England every chance they get.
I think the trouble with England is the media hype up the team and fans, but then the same media highlight the behaviour of their own fans whenever there's a slight issue just so they've got something to write about. Yes some fans are idiots but I honestly think if the English media weren't so obnoxious a lot of the hate would fade away
@@GamingBlomp you’re probably right but I think it’s crazy that people outside of England take their hate for the English media and put it on the fans and the team. You shouldn’t judge a country by their attention seeking media.
@pratosaurusrex1128 I agree with you but if all they see about England is fans arrogance, fighting and booing anthems then their perspective will be skewed.
I'm not a fan of England as I'm Welsh, but there's no hatred from me, just a healthy 'I don't want you to win' attitude etc. I'm sure it's the same the other way round, except we never win 🤣
@@GamingBlomp hey, if it was just the Welsh, Scots or Irish… even the Argentinians or the French… I get it. The rivalries go deep.
What are you talking about? You can't compare what the English did in the Americas with what the Spaniards did. Spain had viceroyalties, the English had colonies. The land in the Americas was actually Spain, not just overseas territories. The citizens had the same rights as those in the Peninsula. The English absolutely massacred the native Americans.
Did you know Geronimo (the Apache chief) spoke Spanish and was a Catholic. The Spaniards arrived in North America before the English.
@highhopes1616 no comparison intended, just used those as an example. Mightve been a bad example 🤷♂️
You're correct you cannot compare them at all.
The Spanish killed hundreds of thousands of Aztecs, Otomi, Timucuan, Chcotaw, and Caxcan. In many cases what can only be described as fullscale ethnic cleansing.
There were no English colonies to begin with. Perhaps you mean British colonies, where no such things happened.
@@aaronbeat1136False. 😂😂. The Spanish Empire are probably one of the most civilized empires in history.

And I not blame english people nowadays but you're so hated for historical reasons. Only the hate that Chinese people have to English because of the Opium Wars makes England the most hateful nation in the world 😂
@@aaronbeat1136
Get your facts straight!!!
The Spanish worked in alliance with some 200,000 Indigenous warriors from city-states, particularly the Tlaxcala and the Otomi to fight the Aztecs. The Aztec empire subjugated other Mexican communities and committed acts of cruelty, even human sacrifices.
The Caxcans lived in peace with the Spanish. They learned the language and were baptised. Their chief, Tenamaxtle, was loyal to the Spanish Crown.
The Timucuan lived in peace with the Spaniards. It was after the arrival of the Creek and the English to Florida that they were massacred. Only 150 Timucuan were left and joined the Spaniards to go to Cuba.
The Choctaws were expelled from their land by the English. They had to find other land but it was near where other indigenous people lived and were usually at war because of this. If they hadn't been expelled, they would have lived peacefully in their own land. Again they lived in peace with the Spanish until the arrival of the latter.
Nowadays, there are millions of Hispanics with features of indegenous people in Central and South America, something you can't see in North America. I repeat the English absolutely massacred them. That's why.
@@highhopes1616 "The Spanish worked in alliance with the Tlaxcala and the Otomi."
Sure after they had culled their numbers during the Annihilation of the Otomi of Tecoac.
"The Caxcans lived in peace with the Spanish."
So the Mixton War never happened?
"The Timucuan lived in peace with the Spaniards."
Napituca Massacre is literally named after what the Spaniards did to the Timucuan.
"the English absolutely massacred them."
You don't even know who you're talking about.
The British not the English, and no they didn't.
Almost all of that massacring happened after the BRITISH were kicked out by the Americans.
If you look at the numbers of native Americans who were killed by the British it was way less than 10,000 and it was certainly not a one way street.

England sings "it's coming home" and rest of the world band together to wish them lose. What is the problem with that? Can people no longer choose to like or not like?
A couple of things are going on here. The first is that clueless people who are not interested in football will casually follow a big international tournament every couple of years and clutch their pearls when fans sing a catchy song and enjoy themselves.
The second is that the irony and humour built into how British people/football fans express themselves (including in their chants etc) is probably lost on other cultures and doesn't translate well into other languages.

Another reason is that a large portion of England fans are super arrogant and very annoying they drink and they scream and they tend to bother other fans and also their old reputation of hooliganism from the 80's making the fans and their banners they bring a target for foreign fans. 52 banners were stolen from England fans at euro 2024. There's also a believe in Europe that English clubs and national team are favoured by UEFA. The fact England boo national anthems of random countries like Slovenia or Slovakia that is annoying to people but if against rivals it's not as bad that happens everywhere. in short England are disliked because historical reasons in politics annoying arrogant fans and the believe that England get favoured by UEFA. Also very important! Kosovo is not a country it is a province of Serbia
Obviously I don’t like them because I’m Indian Irish (u know the history of what happened to those 2 countries under British rule). And the fans and the media are so unbearable and cringe. So those are reasons to immediately hate them. But another reason is because they used to make anti chants about my favourite football team Man Utd. Saying “stand up if u hate Man U” for no reason. Like where did this hate for our football club even come from? That’s why u got Man Utd fans saying “club over country” and considering themselves Mancunian and don’t want anything to do with England. And that’s why I had great pleasure seeing Italy and Spain get one on them in the Euro finals
perhaps ironically, many of the people that dislike Man Utd do so for similar reasons to why many people dislike England. Especially the Man Utd of the past decade.
@@Luic1987 what similar reasons? Man Utd are the most successful club in the country alongside Liverpool and don't have abusive or racist fans. So idk what makes u think there are reasons people hate them the same way people hate England
Cos they've never won anything since 1966.
The word arrogance is synonymous with the English people. That said, I think it goes beyond football.
I think it does, but I seem to notice it more when the football is on.
It's racism against the English
I don't think it's racist to dislike a football team 🤷♂️
Media fans pundits etc they do my head in thank u Spain for saving us from noise pollution
Personally I believe that Brexit is an underrated factor. That unbridled arrogance that the UK has shown its neighbors in recent years is staggering. So it feels good to see their nationalism getting stopped on the pitch. This doesn´t affect the scots btw because we know that that it was mainly the english who voted leave in 2016. As for the time before 2016 I think it´s the hooligans.
Agree with you, great comment.
Maradonna deliberately hand balled it, that was in his control. The 1966 goal was because there was no goal line technology to determine if the ball had crossed the line or not. It's not because an England player did something with deliberate bad intent. There is a massive difference between the two situations!
@ronniepassley2462 I think his point was that English fans are quick to judge one injustice while simultaneously being totally fine with the other. I see your point though. Also I don't think people would still be saying anything about Hurst's goal had it happened in one of the earlier rounds!
@GamingBlomp Maradona has no point at all! His actions were deliberate. Kicking a ball over a line and not being able to tell if it has crossed the line or not as there is no technology to determine it or not has nothing to do with England players being malicious and winning things in an underhanded manner! Even as much of a legend Diego still is.
@ronniepassley2462 He has a perfectly good point, England won a fixed World Cup and that's never mentioned in England, look at England's last goal, there is fans and police on the pitch and the ref plays on(that was not allowed then either). Two goals that were blatantly not goals allowed. Once you would give the benefit of the doubt but twice, c'mon pal.

I'd note that it's not something unique to England and international football only, especially the general attitude and over hyping points of both the media and supporters.
The same views towards England are generally felt in the international Rugby Union community as well, and for similar reasons. Only South Africa comes close being disliked as much worldwide.
And the way the media talks about 'Team GB' in the olympics too, mainly from a position of English agency over spilling into British identity, without the self-awareness to put a brake on it.
They're probably the No4. most disliked country in the Olympics on a global average, only behind the USA - who are similar to the Team GB machine in annoyance style and lack of self-awareness stakes only on steroids, China - because they win loads and aren't always perceived to join in the olympic spirit and community, and Russia - for obvious current geopolitical reasons, plus lots of doping cases the past couple of decades.
England only get a reprieve in the dislike stakes in the Intl Cricket community because both Australia and India have seemed to make it their mission to outmatch England in the obnoxiousness stakes the past couple of decades, relegating England down the dislike pecking order. With Australia that applies to Rugby League too.
I agree with you. It's really interesting to see what people's thoughts are in these comments!

The media is massively to blame, they amplify what a small number of fans do that is of a negative nature to the masses. In return people buy into whatever the media says and it generates hate towards the England team and the fans. Their are plenty of things that other fans and teams have done that isnt even presented by the media as the negative press of England eclipses all of that. England is by no means perfect but the media feeds the public and is a core problem in football and the England in general.
I had a european cup in my city last month, everyone loved the scottish. Nobody liked the english. The Scots drink a lot but they never behave like an absolute dickhead like a lot of the english Fans do. And the nazi war thing is really annoying for a german. You won get over it.
you might wanna look up the reports on where the majority of abuse aimed at Sancho, Rashford and Saka was coming from...cos it wasn't England and the English fans.

I'm from Bulgaria and I love English football. My childhood dream was to be manager of Natational League club and made it all the way to EPL and winning it all (Hello Football Manager fans). I mean to this day English football league is the best in the world (and has always been). I also loved 1990 English team (I was just 7 y.o. and was my first world cup). Peter Shilton, David Platt, Paul Gascoigne, Stuart "Psycho" Pearce, Bryan Robson, Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley, Gary Lineker, ... amazing team. I started hating England from the Manchester United era... this was the first generation that media was over-hyping (I'm not saying Beckham, Scholes, Nevile, Sheringham, Ince were bad players, no they were one of the greatest in football), but I just hated them because the media. To be frank 1998 English squad could have win it all.
About today's Englad... I don't really understand the hate. Jude Bellignham is in reallity one of the greatest players in the world right now. I don't think he is over-rated. There are plenty talant in today's squad and it gained a lot of success - 2018 - World Semis, 2020 Euro Final, 2022 World QuarterF (but let's be real France is great team, if France wasn't on England's path they could had played in the Final), 2024 Euro Final... This is pretty good run. And if England's fan demand the team play "atractive" football, just remeber Brazil in 1982 and 1986... best players, that played amazing football, but won nothing. Better play effective, winning football, than play samba and loose by stupid mistakes like Brazil did.
I think England 1998 were way better than England 2024
In recent years the success of the English Premier League - which is widely regarded as the best domestic league in the world and certainly by far the wealthiest and most followed globally - might be a reason for some resentment, which might lead some opposition fans to prefer other national teams to England.
I'm not sure about that, you've given me an idea for another video though. I think the Premier League is fairly popular around the world but this requires further investigation 😁
Why don't I like England? And I'm saying this as someone who prior to 2016 even supported England over my own country when they played.
1. Politics, especially Brexit which was predicated on anti-European sentiments. I'm a loyal European, so I support my European brothers against outsiders.
2. Violent and arrogant fans acting like it's their God-given right to win everything. You earn trophies on the pitch, you're not entitled to them by virtue of being born.
3. English media. English tabloids are absolute trash and they're saying what the average person thinks/says. They're also related to point 1.
4. I'm Latin, so that's an extra reason to show love to my Italian and Spanish brothers.
@octavianpopescu4776 England voted for Brexit because the people here got sick of the decisions regarding this country coming from somewhere else other than here.
@@octavianpopescu4776 violent fans? You see the problem here is it's a small minority of people. You don't like it when people generalise your country based on the actions of a few so why do you do it too? The difference I'm presuming is you are more educated than the people who do it here.
1. Why do you care if Britain(not England) voted for Brexit any way? We need less self serving politicians, not more.
2. There is hardly any violence from England fans nowadays, I'd be much more worried about French, Italian, Turkish, Greek, Serbian, and Polish fans.
3. Agreed, they're the worst.
4. I assumed you were Romanian by the surname, but you can love whoever you want I suppose
@@aaronbeat1136 1. It wasn't the vote itself, but the insults aimed at us in Europe that came with it. Think of it as the difference between resigning from your job vs resigning and taking a dump on the desk and starting a fight with your coworkers.
2. I wouldn't use the word "hardly", considering the violence before the Euro 2020 final and even these past weeks English fans fighting against Serb fans... or the Euro 2016 riots which involved fighting against Russian fans... somehow, mysteriously, the English keep getting involved in fights over and over and over again.
@@octavianpopescu4776 What were these insults exactly?
It's not mysterious at all, they are constantly targeted by other countries ultras.
I have been going to see Spurs for decades and the last time I saw any problems was a game against Leeds in around 94 where a few fans were throwing bottles, and back when hooligans were real problem they were two of the worst clubs for it.
I think Argentina is going to replace England as the most hated team in the world.

@ELN355 fair enough, I didn't want to talk too much about the British empire as the video is about the football team, although it's definitely a factor for some people.
Arrogancy, bad behaviour fans and overrated by media
That sums it up brilliantly
I can say we don’t like England mainly because of the fans and also the style of football
English fan and media are just annoying. The players for the most part don't bring this upon themselves. I for one felt for Saka, Rashford and Sancho for the hate they received.
It's the fans media and Bellingham and pickford 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Southgate, Woke FA, Taking the knee, defending the LGBTQ Flag whilst denouncing the St Georges Cross. Boring play style and a complete lack of passion. No Fight and a lot of them are British Civically, not English Ethnically. The England manager calling the fans racists and bigots when he was the only one who performed a racist act.
@BVking509 who do you think will replace Southgate? And do you think they'll become more likeable?
@@GamingBlomp The problem is the FA want a Yes Man, who follows there woke political views and the best managers don't do that, that's why they got rid of Venables and Hoddle. To be completely honest International football is not the draw it once was, and I'd rather see my team win one game than see England lift a trophy. Probably going to be Lee Carley he's already in the camp, under control and grateful for the job, he won't rock the boat.
@BVking509 I agree with you on all of your points except I'd say it'll be Graham Potter over Lee Carsley. Need to look at a foreign manager if they want to win anything in my opinion but I can't see them appointing a foreign coach 🤷♂️

@@ronniepassley2462 that quote isn't in the video 🤷♂️
@GamingBlomp no that's what Maradona was insinuating and some people on here are, but without evidence what he and they thought is just an opinion. His hand ball against England and taking performance enhancing drugs are facts. And are proven facts that as much as a legend he was, he deliberately plays sometimes in an under handed manner and deliberately has bad intentions!
@ronniepassley2462 oh I see.
Well to answer your question there isn't any real evidence, but people feel how they feel about it.
The 1966 matches involving Uruguay and Brazil looked more dodgy than the final to me if I'm honest.
The refereeing at the 1966 World Cup is the contentious issue. Brazil and Pele were practically kicked out of the tournament, Uruguay had two players sent off and a blatant penalty denied in the quarter-final against West Germany and Argentina captain Rattin was sent off against England for no apparent reason while England's Stiles wasn't sent off for an awful foul on France's Jacques Simon in a first round game and in extra-time in the final Englsnd are awarded a crucial third goal when the linesman couldn't possibly have known if the whole ball had crossed the line (TV stills today show the whole ball probably didn't cross the line). On top of that, England should have played their semi-final with Portugal at Goodison Park but it was moved to Wembley by Fifa's English president Sir Stanley Rous, meaning Portugal had to travel to London by train the night before the game. These are some of the reasons why mention of the 1966 World Cup stirs up anger abroad.
@hugodrax71 I think this comment brilliantly sums up why the 66 world cup isn't talked about favourably around the world. Great comment!
It’s the fans…
Fans can be annoying but I think the media hype up how annoying the fans are
Great comments below, love all of them!
Arrogance and it comes from the tv pundits. Unfortunately they are told to be overly positive and only the people who toe line are given the job.
I don't mind positive but it's the bias that gets to me. Rio Ferdinand downplaying Italy & Spain at the last Euros for example.
What this pratt going on about.
Watch the video and see 🤷♂️
Because they are WOKE. The end.
The english? Have ever seen one?
I agree with the german guy below, completely true what's football to do with ww2, england's team and manager (now gone) were pathetic, should have gone out against holland, probably the worst ever decision given a penalty for nothing, far to much hype every time and just the usual poor all round performance.
