The Delusional Fan

“England are coming home this time. I can feel it in my bones. The lads are ready. You have to remember — this squad is different. Actually, it genuinely is.”

“You have to remember — England's record in knockout matches against France is actually quite strong if you set aside some of the losses. The lads perform better under pressure. This is where the squad depth pays off.”

“People kept doubting the process but Southgate was right all along. Actually the data supports this completely if you look at it from the right angle. The lads are built for this exact moment.”

“People keep underestimating England against South American opposition. Statistically, the team performs better when falling behind — which is why going 2-0 down in the 12th minute is actually an advantage. You have to trust the process.”

“Even if this one goes wrong — and it won't — the squad depth is unprecedented. The future is bright regardless. Actually the lads are cracked. The lads are genuinely cracked. Unreal.”
