The World Cup is down to the final eight teams.
One of those teams is England.
I know that a lot of our listeners were annoyed that I’ve been cheering for England since the start of the World Cup.
Let’s face it, the enthusiasm for the American team wasn’t at the level you might expect, as most of the people calling the show over the past couple of weeks were mainly cheering on their family’s country-of-origin team.
Argentina and Italy topped the list.
For me, I was disappointed that the U.S. team lost in round 16 because it would have been pretty cool if during the month we celebrate 250 years of Independence.
England vs. U.S. in the final would have been epic.
But they lost.

Why I’m sticking with England in the World Cup
Now, England gets ready to face Norway on Saturday, and I hope they win. Not just for my sons-in-law’s sake, but for a few other reasons.
English nationalism is on the rise, and English cities are suffering like some American cities with the onslaught of migrants from third-world countries.
With the unchecked third-world incursion, crime, poverty, strains on infrastructure and cultural degradation all on the rise.
Many English citizens are pushing back.
More and more locals are speaking out and raising the English flag as a symbol of resistance to the misguided, dangerous and deadly policies of the UK government.

Why the English flag has become a symbol beyond soccer
The English flag goes back to the flag carried by English crusaders in 1098, bearing the St. George cross and carried in the Siege of Antioch, marking a significant victory during the First Crusade.
So, it’s also a symbol against the growing Islamification of Europe.
We fly it along with the California Republic flag and, of course, Old Glory at our home.
For a statement on Western civilization pushing back against the third-world invaders, go England!
