    It clearly is or was a bit of a pisstake tbh, the song/video itself would of originally been meant in a more jovial way than a serious. I would take that point.

    ..But.. when the Barmy Army fat skinhead is singing it in Dublin after 3 wins over Tunisia, Panama and Sweden, it takes on a new meaning.

    They genuinely meant it..

    Linekar at loadsa points whilst laughing and auf wiedersehen at Germany and adios at the Spanish, definitely started to crank it up..

    I called it as soon as they beat some diddy, the whole place wouldn't be able to contain their selves and would be going ape * at talk of winning it..

    The song may originally have been a wind up. The talk in Moscow from fan's and pundits, never was..

    They (particularly he) bypassed Croatia to talk about England against France or Belgium, such was the dismissal attitude they had for a strong side and the blinkered view they were going all the way took over..

    Of course the backtracking has followed suit..

    They * meant every word of it.

    They genuinely thought they were at least going to be finalists.

    They are a bunch of arrogant * , summed up perfectly by Ian Wright's racist behaviour to Roy Keane.

    There was someone on Sky Sports, black striker who played for Villa I think....canny mind the name, but before the Croatia game he was actually saying “in the final, getting an early goal against France would be huge.” Or something along those lines.

    :56:

    Edit - Darius Vassell I think it was.

    He just started mocking his accent after Keane put Wright in his box.

    There was nothing said in the media , but had it been Keane mocking someone with an African/Pakistani (you get the idea) accent , there would have been uproar.

    I can’t believe how much that has been swept under the carpet.

    Read an article about the exchange, and the last sentence was “then Wright mocked Keane’s accent.”

    The * article should have been ABOUT Wright mocking Keane’s accent. If Keane had impersonated Wright you can be sure it would have been front page news.

    Wright was trying to say he was only joking when him & Neville had been going on about winning it. Once he lost the argument with Keane he started on his accent. Shocking.

    Thought it was funny when Keane said the had the parade locations already organised :56:

    Aye Keane was spot on and Gary Neville nearly fell off his chair laughing.

    Keane's made an absolute * of him a few time's this tournament..

    Imagine that thick as * balloon mocking anybody. He repeatedly calls Hoddle "gaffer" embarrassingly still..

    I actually seen that at the time but never clocked his "final" bit properly..

    Sleekit wee nauseating * licking *..

    Can see that got to Keane at the end when he was saying "relax yourself". No camera's he would've throttled him. He wouldn't dare do that though..

    He’s so out of date and touch with the modern game it’s a wind up he is even on these panels.

    Great striker in his day but his knowledge of the game nowadays is laughable, he’s a parody of himself now and thrown in there for the * sake of it

    He's a bit like Sally as a pundit (although Sally isn't the worst on commentary)..

    There as a bit of a joke figure on the panel. Never says anything insightful and usually just agrees with whoever he's sat beside (carrying him), trying to get a few giggles (mostly at him) because he brings nothing else to the table..

    It, 100 million percent, was not a pisstake whatsoever. From any single outlet; fans, players, manager, pundit, Gary Lineker.

    They are fly *, it was played in such a way that when the deck of cards collapsed and they were sent packing they could still hold the ‘humour’ Card.

    Thank * for Croatia or we’d still be heading it today right up to kick off.
