The Swede cleared the ball and the Ukranian ran into him. Not a red or yellow card in my opinion.

Never a Red, just an unfortunate accident

This is actually headlines on main bbc news

It is big news for them.
It's massive for them so fair play. We'd be doing the same if we won even game a a tournament. It's the clowns who reckoned they had won the tournament already we should be laughing at.

It's last 16, not headlines surely

Its Germany, who they have a massive rivalry with. Its their first knockout win over them in 55 years.
Let them have it. Remember when we got a last minute draw against Germany in 2002 and every workplace and school stopped?

It's a one-way rivalry.

Germany has enemies on all fronts  England is just another one with grievances, not that important.

National broadcaster reports national team's sports victory shocker.

Imagine if Ireland beat England to reach the QF of the Euros. Would RTE, the national broadcaster, not carry it as the main story?

Last couple of pages don't make for pretty reading. Is it xenophobia or a more general petty small mindedness that is the dominant characteristic of some of these posters?

The petty small mindedness just sticks of people not comfortable with their lot. James McClean-esque.

There's nothing xenophobic about wanting the England football team to lose.

Seeing as the UK (England) is currently ruled by a right-wing, deeply xenophobic 'junta', a bit of reciprocation is no harm.

I have no problem with people wanting England or any other team to lose or win for that matter.

But the finding of fault with fans getting excited at their team winning, fans singing there song, media covering the game, the victory, the reaction, the song, the celebration etc?? What's that all about if it's not small mindedness?

The old "he started it" defence is infantile and cuts no ice when the allegation is small mindedness

I am of the opinion that you base your nationalism on a love of your country not a hatred of another.

A lot of people base it on a hatred of another here. I still think the coverage on the news was ott, but then we have Ireland v NZ friendlies in rugby making the news
