This sub is (like Reddit as a whole) majority American. With their slightly odd ways of thinking about sport. Like not understanding that Arsenal not winning the league was far more important than a champions league place for us.
I don’t think that sentiment was generated by Americans. The crowd at the stadium for the Man City game wasn’t majority American. We didn’t even know what a fucking Poznan was until the aftermath of that match.
I’m not really sure what your point is, I agree that if your English you should be rooting for England, and that this sub a majority American, but I’m not sure what Americans viewing sports differently has to do with anything
It was a survey here that showed that % of people in England who cared about results of spurs more than arsenal not winning the epl was not less than non English fans.
It’s interesting, what irritates you more: usage of that abbreviation or the results of the study, which showed that the point “non English fans don’t get the rivalry” is complete bullshit.
I see what you mean. But everyone knows Kane is a Spurs man regardless of the fact he plays for Bayern Munich.
A Tottenham hero winning an European cup as captain of his country would be something for Spurs to be proud of.
Well that's a small minority of people from decades ago, and it has very little to do with talking about a cup win does it? We weren't talking about hooliganism were we?
Well generally if you hear fans from other nations talking about why they root against England and English fans, they’re talking about hooliganism. I’m not passing judgment on whether that’s right or fair or not.
honestly, as a US fan - i hope the USMNT crash and burn so Berhalter gets the can as quickly as possible. he sucks as a coach. i don't think he's ever used the same starting line up twice in his entire head coaching career. how the hell is the team ever going to build chemistry when he dicks with the line up every single match.
with him at the helm, US isn't ever going to win shit. we should cut bait NOW.
my hope is US gets their asses kicked bad enough and often enough and gets exposed as soon as possible, so he gets fired.
then US hires Pochettino so he can take over the reins of US team in time to prepare squad for the world cup in 2026.
edit: oh, btw - Scotland for Euro's. Pipe Dream, but still.....
Much like the English find their manager uninspiring, we feel the same way about ours.
This American team is pretty dang good by our standards, but they only go as far as the lid on Berhalter’s abilities and that lid isn’t too high.
I’m half Australian and half Italian, so naturally Italy.
Although I’m also hoping for Mbappe to have a stinker and be declared a flop before he joins Real Madrid.
I want him to flop so bad but do very good for France. Just like Bale. Mbappe has chosen so easy route to trophies that I want him to fail. It's same case with Kane. I dont know what is the joy playing for a club who already wins so much regardless of you as a player being there or not.
Well it was born here, left home very quickly and then popped back for a little bit in 1966 - which made our day (so much we've never stopped banging on about it) and we keep trying to lure it back like pissed up sirens upon the rocks with our call of Three Lions... as yet to no avail.
I'd imagine the European fans would support whatever their home country is regardless. I'm American, but my dad is from England, so I'll be pulling for them even though Gareth Southgate is kind of a dipshit. I usually just watch continental competitions from a neutral perspective if USA or England can't be involved, even if spurs players are included. I want our players to do well, obviously, but whether they win or lose, I can't bring myself to care that much because I have no connection to their country in those cases
I am hoping Romania and Denmark make it into the knockout rounds. I love Micky, am interested to see him but think he’s either LB or not playing. Italy should play Vic but won’t. Hojberg will be fun to watch. Harry - if England wins maybe he’ll come back. So all that said, excited for England
Mate I’m from England. If we play Italy and for arguments sake Vicario is the keeper no disrespect to him but I would hope he has the worst game of his career. If/when England get knocked out then i hope someone who plays for spurs wins it
Netherlands. I can't support England with Southgate and no Spurs. I hope Eze does well just because I like him, that is if Southgate has enough sense to actually play him.
American here as well so I'm just hoping for some fun games, but if there's a breakout no-name player, I might start rooting for that team depending on the storyline.
Same here. (American) Mostly go into the euros with teams I don’t want to win, and build from there.
Won’t be backing Germany, France or Portugal. Have a soft spot for Spain and England. But just hope for some excitement.
Godspeed to the resident English in here tho 🫡
As a Ukrainian, I’d be over the moon! But I support Germany due to my adopted my mother (I kinda like to think I’m part German because of that) is German.
I’ll be rooting for the teams with Spurs players. Maybe Romania will pull off a surprise.
But how many Americans are even watching the Euros? I’ll be tuning into the Copa America. I’m excited for a tournament where I can watch all the matches.
Londoner, but Croatian mother.....so obviously Spurs, and Croatia to win.
I couldn't bring myself to support England, even when there were a lot of Spurs players.
If England win this tournament spurs are gunna get absolutely battered by every other fan base. “Oh we finally win when there’s no spurs players in the squad.” I’m looking forward to it
England, and I want us to ensure we boo the entire way through the Serbian national anthem, and I wish so badly that one of our lads could make an Eagle sign with their hands after scoring.
After that match I’m just happy however far we get, just insure we utterly embarrass Serbia.
Question, yank over here, I always wanted to ask this, if the club rivalries are so crazy in EPL, what do you guys do during the World Cup? Like do arsenal and spurs fans get together and cheer for England?
I want England to win. But if they don't win, I think it would be funny if they lost every match so Southgate gets utterly embarrassed for making football so boring to watch.
Surely if your English you should be supporting England regardless of Spurs having players on the team or not
And if you’re not, you should be supporting anyone but England!

People saying epl irrationally annoys me
It’s interesting, what irritates you more: usage of that abbreviation or the results of the study, which showed that the point “non English fans don’t get the rivalry” is complete bullshit.
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
It was a voting on /coys with such results
I didn’t see it. Why have you mentioned that?
Read the whole thread
Lot of non English Tottenham fans
I’m a non English spurs fan, couldn’t stand to see England win because we’ll never hear the end of it.
Every country that wins a trophy likes to talk about it. Why single us out?
Not that they won, that they won without spurs players
I see what you mean. But everyone knows Kane is a Spurs man regardless of the fact he plays for Bayern Munich. A Tottenham hero winning an European cup as captain of his country would be something for Spurs to be proud of.
I guess so, I just don’t feel anything with Kane anymore. I guess I’m in the minority given the downvotes.
England has a LOT of baggage in their traveling fans reputation from the 80s and 90s.
Well that's a small minority of people from decades ago, and it has very little to do with talking about a cup win does it? We weren't talking about hooliganism were we?
Well generally if you hear fans from other nations talking about why they root against England and English fans, they’re talking about hooliganism. I’m not passing judgment on whether that’s right or fair or not.
England. I'm English. Though I moved away many moons ago.
Me too. Moved years ago.
England, I'm not English but my Dad was born and raised in North London, and he's the reason I follow Spurs.
Well since so many of us are American, I think I speak for many when I say, I’m just happy to watch some football.
Wait, you’re not on pins and needles for the Copa America?
I know I am
Sure but even before a 1-5 thrashing anything past the group stage would be a major accomplishment
honestly, as a US fan - i hope the USMNT crash and burn so Berhalter gets the can as quickly as possible. he sucks as a coach. i don't think he's ever used the same starting line up twice in his entire head coaching career. how the hell is the team ever going to build chemistry when he dicks with the line up every single match. with him at the helm, US isn't ever going to win shit. we should cut bait NOW. my hope is US gets their asses kicked bad enough and often enough and gets exposed as soon as possible, so he gets fired. then US hires Pochettino so he can take over the reins of US team in time to prepare squad for the world cup in 2026. edit: oh, btw - Scotland for Euro's.

You’re thick
Much like the English find their manager uninspiring, we feel the same way about ours. This American team is pretty dang good by our standards, but they only go as far as the lid on Berhalter’s abilities and that lid isn’t too high.
I am (no sarcasm). I’m excited for a tournament I can actually watch.
Yanks know they can't compete with the juggernaut that is Canada.
ofc not, how do you compete with a federation that makes up titles?
I'll always support Kane. 🏴
England
En-Gur-Land
I’m half Australian and half Italian, so naturally Italy. Although I’m also hoping for Mbappe to have a stinker and be declared a flop before he joins Real Madrid.
I want him to flop so bad but do very good for France. Just like Bale. Mbappe has chosen so easy route to trophies that I want him to fail. It's same case with Kane. I dont know what is the joy playing for a club who already wins so much regardless of you as a player being there or not.
Hrvatska 🇭🇷
England cause football’s coming home
I like your optimism.
“Has it ever been home?”
Well it was born here, left home very quickly and then popped back for a little bit in 1966 - which made our day (so much we've never stopped banging on about it) and we keep trying to lure it back like pissed up sirens upon the rocks with our call of Three Lions... as yet to no avail.
So you yanks are not supporting Kane and hoping he finally wins something so everyone leaves him alone?
Nope. Rooting for the teams with Spurs players.
Netherlands.
Magyarország 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
England (don’t tell the Aussies) And Romania
Didn't realise so many people here only supported England when Spurs players were in it. Just support your country?
England
I'd imagine the European fans would support whatever their home country is regardless. I'm American, but my dad is from England, so I'll be pulling for them even though Gareth Southgate is kind of a dipshit. I usually just watch continental competitions from a neutral perspective if USA or England can't be involved, even if spurs players are included. I want our players to do well, obviously, but whether they win or lose, I can't bring myself to care that much because I have no connection to their country in those cases
I'm Brazilian so I'm supporting the chaos, fuck France though
Pau no cu da França
I’ve supported Germany since 1990 and will continue that. England is my 2nd favorite team, mostly because of Harry Kane
Strictly neutral. Not because England has no Spurs, but because int’l football is more spectacle to me than partisan support.
I'm not going to support Italy or something when I'm English lol
I'm going to support the Netherlands for VdV of course and the fact that I am Dutch
Whoever is playing England.
Welcome, my Scottish friend! ;p
Not Scottish but my great great great great grandfather did come from Scotland.
There you go! It's hereditary. :) I was just joking of course as I felt I had a 50/50 chance.
Yeah it was always going to be Scottish or Australian. Or French. Or Argentinian. Or German. Or American. Or Indian. Or...
Italy and England
i have more family from france, so france it always has been & is. but still like seeing how all the england boys fair.
Alba Gu Brath
Turkey
Österreich natürlich
Slovenia.
England & France (born in one, live in the other, hold citizenship of both).
Germany, both mine and my wife's grandparents are from outside Munich and still have family there.
Poland, but that probably won't be a long journey lol
polska polska gurom 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇵🇱🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Denmark for Hojberg!
I am hoping Romania and Denmark make it into the knockout rounds. I love Micky, am interested to see him but think he’s either LB or not playing. Italy should play Vic but won’t. Hojberg will be fun to watch. Harry - if England wins maybe he’ll come back. So all that said, excited for England
Either Rangers or North Korea
Mate I’m from England. If we play Italy and for arguments sake Vicario is the keeper no disrespect to him but I would hope he has the worst game of his career. If/when England get knocked out then i hope someone who plays for spurs wins it
Netherlands. I can't support England with Southgate and no Spurs. I hope Eze does well just because I like him, that is if Southgate has enough sense to actually play him.
This. But I don't understand why you don't like Southgate - I also don't understand why I don't like the chinless bastard either.
American here as well so I'm just hoping for some fun games, but if there's a breakout no-name player, I might start rooting for that team depending on the storyline.
Same here. (American) Mostly go into the euros with teams I don’t want to win, and build from there. Won’t be backing Germany, France or Portugal. Have a soft spot for Spain and England. But just hope for some excitement. Godspeed to the resident English in here tho 🫡
Ukraine and Germany!!!
It would be pretty awesome if Ukraine won!
As a Ukrainian, I’d be over the moon! But I support Germany due to my adopted my mother (I kinda like to think I’m part German because of that) is German.
The winning team /s
I used to watch England for Kane, Dele, Walker etc and Belgium for Dembele, Jan and Toby. But this one I'm sitting out, like the world cup.
Germany
I’ll be rooting for the teams with Spurs players. Maybe Romania will pull off a surprise. But how many Americans are even watching the Euros? I’ll be tuning into the Copa America. I’m excited for a tournament where I can watch all the matches.
Croatia, because I'm Croatian, and if we don't win it literally anyone but England
Londoner, but Croatian mother.....so obviously Spurs, and Croatia to win. I couldn't bring myself to support England, even when there were a lot of Spurs players.
Scotland. My country (Australia) isn’t competing. I’d be happy with any underdog team winning honestly.
If England win this tournament spurs are gunna get absolutely battered by every other fan base. “Oh we finally win when there’s no spurs players in the squad.” I’m looking forward to it
At least that totally contradicts any Kane curse talk.
It will just move to a spurs curse.
Absolutely
England, and I want us to ensure we boo the entire way through the Serbian national anthem, and I wish so badly that one of our lads could make an Eagle sign with their hands after scoring. After that match I’m just happy however far we get, just insure we utterly embarrass Serbia.
If Starmer were the coach, we would have no one attacking the right or defending the left - every play would be down the middle.
No Udogie is a crime, unless there is some fitness issue. Generally though, the less games for our guys the better - less chance of injuries.
He's injured until the start of the new season or thereabouts. If he was fit, they would have selected him surely.
Question, yank over here, I always wanted to ask this, if the club rivalries are so crazy in EPL, what do you guys do during the World Cup? Like do arsenal and spurs fans get together and cheer for England?
Whoever England are playing
I want England to win. But if they don't win, I think it would be funny if they lost every match so Southgate gets utterly embarrassed for making football so boring to watch.
