Think it’s a legacy of the ‘England DNA’ push about 10 years ago where it was more important that players were technically gifted above all else. Not suggesting it’s bad that we are, just lack the defensive attributes like positional discipline.

The weird thing is it was ludicrously successful but the playing style doesn’t utilise it.

Just had a good look at the kit, very nice. Added bonus at how the changed St. George cross on the back of the neck is getting all the flag shaggers frothing at the mouth. Well played Nike

ah, the “flag shaggers” thing. The real tragedy is the price. It’s appalling.

Sir Keir told The Sun that the "flag is used by everybody, it is a unifier, it doesn't need to changed".
He said: "We just need to be proud of it. So I think they should just reconsider this and change it back.”

In fairness, it does sound a bit like he wants to shag the flag

Not really, I just take joy in the usual types getting all animated about this sort of nonsense.

The kind of people who bandy around words like 'snowflake' or 'woke' but take mortal offense at a detail on a football shirt.

Outraged fans demand Nike recalls England's official kit for Euro 2024

The American sportswear firm switched the traditional red St George's cross for one featuring navy, light blue and purple on the shirt which costs up to £125 - prompting fury among England fans.

It’s a bizarre move by Nike (let’s be honest it’s either done for advertising purposes or they believe it will sell more shirts) but if they’re doing it across the board with all countries flags then fair enough. Otherwise it’s just weird

At that price I can’t imagine many will be rushing to the shops to buy it whether it had the St George’s flag on the neck or not

Yeah you are right, I hang my traitor head in shame... my entire sense of Englishness and pride in my country hinges on the my opinion on the neck detail of a football shirt

What time do I need to present my self at the tower of London?

The England shirt historically hasn't had the St George's flag on it, it's only in quite recent times. Not sure what all the fuss is about really.

It’s just the typical culture war bullshit that now dominates our society. No-one cared about this sort of stuff until 2016.

Yes, it’s hypocritical to take the piss out of the people who are upset over a small purple cross after all the heated debates we had on here over the Catalan flag.

Dairy Milk is a part of English heritage and tradition. Very fitting.

It's the only way he'll be gone. No doubt we'll cruise through the groups, beat an easy team in the round of 16 and quarters, and then lose to the first real test in the semi-final again. FA will be happy and he'll get another 4 years. No thanks.

You reckon a few blokes boycotting watching them will have any bearing on if he keeps his job

Your constant comments about football shirts and harddrives remind me of those US pastors that bang on about sins whilst carrying on like a wrong'un themselves
