But English fans riot when their team loses in the finals or semi finals or quarter finals. Maple Leaf fans have a parade.
2024 Euro
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
Its true, same as the Leafs, they go into tourneys (playoffs) with high hopes just to disappoint their fans.
It was a joke. Like the English soccer fans would be insulted having their team compared to the Leafs. Get it?
The English press nearly torpedoed the Three Lions again. While the Azzurri were going down to disgraziati defeat, they released a report claiming that England's Selects are the most valuable. Their valuation is at $1.86 billion. When informed of this Slovakia coach Francesco Calzona said, "our side is worth ten times less".
Palmer-Casadei will not become Rooney-CR7.
The op is correct, Italy eats their young, both Gnonto and Casadei have been buried by their EPL clubs. I would have preferred Casadei over Scammaca, the later was gassed after his season with Atalanta. With Enzo Maresca now the coach of Chelsea, there may be chance that Palmer and Casadei are the forward unit.

England's Jude Bellingham could be in trouble in what he did after scoring the equalizer vs Slovakia:
England's Bellingham investigated after crotch gesture
UEFA is to investigate England midfielder Jude Bellingham for potential indecent conduct after he was seen grabbing his crotch while looking at the crowd following a last-16 victory over Slovakia at Euro 2024.
Bellingham, 21, scored an astonishing 95th-minute equaliser to push the game into extra time, gesturing after his goal at England fans who had been critical, then making the crotch gesture following the final whistle with the game won 2-1.
"An UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector will conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct by the English Football Association player, Jude Bellingham, having allegedly occurred in the scope of this match," UEFA said in a statement on Monday.
While Bellingham's aggressive goal celebration was clearly an angry message to England fans, the crotch gesture was viewed by some spectators as an insult to Slovakia.
Bellingham, however, said on social media that he was having a laugh with friends.
"An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight," he said.
There was no immediate reaction from Bellingham or the English Football Association to UEFA's statement.
The Real Madrid player has been showered with praise in the past for his maturity, but acknowledged after the Slovakia game that he felt an explosion of emotion after his bicycle-kick goal, given days of heavy criticism of England on social media.
"People talk a lot of rubbish and it's nice that, when you deliver, you can give them a little bit back," he told reporters shortly after the game in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday.
He was walking alongside captain and fellow goalscorer Harry Kane when he kissed his hand and lowered it to his groin, according to footage of the players at the end of the game.
UEFA also said it was charging England's FA for their fans' lighting of fireworks and other disorder.
European football's body has an array of possible sanctions at its disposal from fines to suspensions. Albania's Mirlind Daku was banned for two games after leading fans in offensive chants.
England, who have put in strangely tepid and disjointed displays despite being among the pre-tournament favourite, face Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

The only difference is England did make the final last Euro.
Leafs havent made the final since 1960's.
Other then that you're right though
They held a parade in 1993 after losing to L.A. in the conference finals.What this sort of a parade?

I've got to say that the amount of diving and especially faking life altering injuries is abso-fucking-lutely embarrassing/shameful. It may be de-rigeur for soccer but it makes the sport hard to watch. I lose a lot of respect for these talented and physical world class athletes. There is no justification and they are fooling no-one. They should be giving more yellow cards for these blatantly obvious embellishments.Maybe a different result with Leao but he's a diver. Very good game, Mamardashvili was very good, apparently his cousin Mamalucco is good too.
They roll back and forth on their backs clutching the supposed injury and once the ref doesn't call anything they are up and sprinting at top speed. A hockey player never goes through such histrionics when actually injured. This is one area where knuckle dragging Don Cherry was bang on, sorry to say. Even Bill Barber never discredited his sport with such disregard to its' reputation.

I can put up with waiting 90 minutes for shots on net that rarely or never happen. But the diving and theatrics are what turns me off the sport and make me change the channel.
