>The brazilians are kinda similar. Very obsessed with us >source: the voices in my head
our rivals are and always were argentina krauss, one 1-in-a-million match wont change that you were always irrelevant to us
You just need to remember that we're an island nation. Five countries with a shared language and culture but just enough of a difference to drive each other insane. So our internal rivalries are bitter as shit because of historical slap downs by England to the rest of the isles has never been moved on from fully or forgotten. I don't mind the Jocks, quite like them. It's the Ir*sh I want England to play more. Frick the micks.

I wouldnt want to be on the smae island as the english. I would have probably joined some IRA by now.
Official: >Scotland >ROI
Genuine bad blood - always has been and always will be.
Wartime: >Germany >Argentina
The feeling isn't mutual for the above teams. They're considerably more successful and have more successful rivals. Victory in wars is just about the only thing keeping this rivalry alive. Even though the rest of the world moved on a long time ago,
Unofficial: >France >Croatia (as of 2018) >Italy (as of last year) >USA
France will always be a soft rival due to historical memes. Croatia and Italy will live in England fans heads for a long time due to their most successful runs being cut short by them. The USA are like a very mild case of Scotland.
Wasn't the Germany one mostly because we kept choking to them in the knockout stages? It felt like a curse was lifted in the euros and most England fans don't really care about the rivalry anymore
And Argentina was a lot to do with the hand of God too right?
>We don't even rate you
Irrelevant really. Everyone recognises England as the home of football, so it's always special to beat them no matter how shit they are. If the US beat England at the World Cup it'd mean more to American fans than any meme CONCACAF trophy. The English occupy a special place in American heads and everyone knows it lol

I havent been to England in a couple of years, but lets say hypothetically, if USA actually manages to defeat England in the groups, and even make it out beside you guys, would that change perception of US mutts as rivals in England? I mean not the ingerlish on this board, but like the people in general.
There's this one poster on Fhite from Uruguay that seeths in every int footie related thread that >that van Bronckhorst goal should have been disallowed, I just want him to suffer
Rivals: Germany by far. Only foreigners we really mock after a win.
Belgiums, a bit. Our little brothers.
Argentinians, maybe. Cus of some intense matches 78, 98, but its not like we hate them.
All Germans have a huge inferiority complex when it comes to England. It's shitty to admit it, but we lack a bit of sovl, which England has in droves. Playing England is a special occasion for every country on the planet, that's why everybody cares and tunes in when they do their kino England vs World XI games.
Was ist Los, Hanz?
Do you want us to sing about your vokuhila?
*spits in your face*
how french of you
Why do you care?
>agtae
They should be picking on France idk what they're doing
We haven't played France in important games often enough to have any real rivalry with them
why is England so obsessed with us?
We don't have a rival, we don't even think about you yet here you are making a thread about us. Rent free la
only westoids cares about Holland, my rival is Austria. *spits*
The brazilians are kinda similar. Very obsessed with us. It happen sonce you leave someone in the dust.

Maybe my wording was too harsh. But for sure the brazilians have a special place for us now. We could see that in the 2016 olympics alrady.
oh yea, youre right, we still have that feeling like we have to get you back some day, we wont let that match slide
Who is Englands actual rival? Argentina?
their own delusion
currently 1 for a lot against them
topkek
Scotland
Scotland. It's just frustrating how shit they've become so we rarely get to meet in relevant matches.
Is England Scotland the most pathetic rivalry in football? Noone ever wins anything.
It's the first football rivalry, we don't care what outsiders think about it.

Irish > Scots
>noone ever wins anything
>95 (ninety five) British Home Championships between us
It's like JFs don't even try lads
Definitely not us, they’ve never been able to beat the US even once in a non-friendly.

Wartime and then made worse by continuous choking, same with Argentina. Just need to listen to the chants.
hence why I said you're an unofficial very mild rivalry geezer
We don't even rate you. We banter and shitpost but there's no bad blood at least on our side
Our only rival is Mexico. We truly hate them and the feeling is mutual. That's what makes a rivalry, mutual hatred.
You can't really feign indifference when you make non stop threads about England and the world cup game.
It's called banter. Has this ever happened at a USA-ENG match?
It's called chicanos
sadly yes but even without them it's still a rivalry. FIFA needs to give chis their own team so they can frick off
This sums up the feelings vs. England

Argentina absolutely have not moved on from the falklands, they are obsessed with it. Delusional freaks
Has England ever moved on from a war?
Everyone. If you ask any country their top 3 countries they'd like to beat, England would be on every single team's list.
Argentina, Belgium, Uruguay
I am of course talking generally amongst the people, not some autist trying to win an internet argument.
Why Uruguay?
There's this one poster on Fhite from Uruguay that seeths in every int footie related thread that >that van Bronckhorst goal should have been disallowed, I just want him to suffer
Based tbh
One final in 60 years... the only rivals you have are in cricket.
holy delusion. Beating England most countries do all the time. The teams you would like to beat are the ones that are actually hard to beat.
>Who is Englands actual rival?
Their expectations
Norway because they gave their boys a hell of a beating 40 years ago
>Argentina?
Only until the boomers who care about the two islands nobody wants to live in die.
Unironically Scotland
judging by this board, everyone
ive been sensing a lot of romantic tension between england and germany later
why are you norferners like this? your rival is the one you beat in finals while we consider our rivals those who beat us in finals.
I think they're the most hated by many countries but no country can really call it a rivalry
but italy is your main rival, hans
Depends on location. For us Nords its the Dutch but overall Germans see it either as Italy or Holland
i've never ever seen anyone make a Netherlands rivalry troll thread.
i've seen Germans make England ones though. like this one for example....................

ah its another johnny foreigner rent free thread
Are Germany and Argentina rivals? They’ve played each other in the final twice and have met multiple times in the earlier stages

Your honesty is refreshing
>that's why everybody cares and tunes in when they do their kino England vs World XI games.
This should have given you a clue he was being sarcastic
Rivalry with Germany has ended. Now Italy is our new rival.
