[Football] Watching after England exit

[jackanada]

While I want England to do well I always much prefer watching tournaments after we exit.
All the jingoism disappears and the quality of punditry seems to increase as there's no need to cater for an audience that doesn't usually watch much football. You can quietly get on with watching quality football and anyone watching with you usually has a genuine appreciation of the beautiful game.
There's still a lot of shoehorning PL talking points into any match but it's nowhere near as annoying as linking everything to England.
So how about you?

Rarely watch once England out. Maybe if Brighton players involved.

 

[Questions]

What were the options again ?

 

[Flounce]

Certainly less stressful and annoying. Allez Les Bleus and the Clog wearers (Bart) for me once we limp out

 

[Chicken Run]

I only muster up enough enthusiasm to watch England games, no others, so once they are eliminated i stop watching

I’m finding it hard to watch England when they’re still in it, innit. On a serious note, I will watch the ‘big boys’ strut their stuff - Germany, Spain, Italy, France and possibly the Netherlands and Portugal. As an aside, if hear once more how Scotland fans are the most amazing, wonderful, friendliest human beings on the planet I swear to God I will vomit in to my kilt!

Yes, this.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Well there isn't any other games after the final?


I joke of course

I've enjoyed most the other games I've watched, so I'll continue to watch

 

[Brian Fantana]

I barely have enough enthusiasm to watch England. I've not watched any other games at this tournament.

 

[zefarelly]

I'll watch games that I think may be entertaining, and/or produce good football . . .

I have had ther TV on whilst England played but frankly didn't pay much attention.

Not sure why you bothered even turning the tv on knowing what you know!

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I've watched about 20 full minutes so far

 

[Hometownglory]

Only watched England and Scotland games. Soon as England are out I bin it off.

 

[hart's shirt]

What were the options again ?

Same as before. They're always the same.

'Not at all. To some extent. Very much so. Don't know.'

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I've not seen a single game yet, but will catch England on Tuesday. As for the rest, I've no interest in watching, but respect those with a wide knowledge base across other teams and their squads, my brain is far too cabbaged/limited to entertain that stuff.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

I'll watch some of the more interesting, to me, knockout games with or without the fantastic England side

 

[amexer]

Apart from when Brighton took part never watch any club or national tournaments until knockout stages.

 

[Hamilton]

None of the above.

At present I’ve enjoyed watching this despite of England. If we get knocked out I’m sure it will be just as enjoyable to watch.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Watching after England exit?

Yup, looking forward to the QFs already

 

[jcdenton08]

I watch the whole tournament regardless because I love these big events, same with the Olympics when there is no British interest (although that certainly makes it more fun)
