Oops missed that ! Of course ! 1990 being the only exception, right?Since 1990 (which is embarrassing enough in itself, I'll concede).
Keown's commentary seems to go from bad to worse. Earlier he compared Maguire to Bobby Moore...
Nope. I was referring to a Swedish player. When your team is behind, it’s highly unlikely to see a player wasting time.Trippier? Maguire? Simulting being touched without being touched against Colombia?

Ah sorry, thought you were answering Blender's post about England not diving.Nope. I was referring to a Swedish player. When your team is behind, it’s highly unlikely to see a player wasting time.
A few players diving on England isn't really comparable to Brazil who have diving as part of their football philosophy.Trippier? Maguire? Simulting being touched without being touched against Colombia?
Yeah you can count it too.Are we just counting the World Cup?
In 68 they reached the Euro semis too. Their qualification was the combined results from the two previous Home Nations Championship, followed by a two-legged playoff with Spain. So a semi-final, but not really comparable to earning a semi-final place in the modern era.
No worries.Ah sorry, thought you were answering Blender's post about England not diving.
When did I say England never dives?Ah sorry, thought you were answering Blender's post about England not diving.

You're right. At least Brazil players embellished after fouls. Maguire and Tripper weren't even touched.A few players diving on England isn't really comparable to Brazil who have diving as part of their football philosophy.
Dele is one of the biggest divers in the game. Same with Gerrard before him. They just don't get criticized cuz English media narratives.A few players diving on England isn't really comparable to Brazil who have diving as part of their football philosophy.
Surely, you have no liked any WC or EC then?
In all seriousness, I was more bothered by the swedish fans trying to tell us Sweden would beat up anyone.
That said, after this win (in which Sweden might have had the better chances) England's going to be overrated again.... sigh...
It was a lose/lose situation anyway.
In any case, it's the first time England reaches a semi outside the english soil.
If you think England as a team dives as much as Brazil, Portugal, etc., I have some swamp land to sell you.You're right. At least Brazil players embellished after fouls. Maguire and Tripper weren't even touched.
