Never liked England or Germany due to their arrogance regarding their teams/players etc. (at least Germans have grounds for such pride), but other reason in recent times is them inserting the toxic neobolshevik politics in their sports teams and events, like putting rainbow or blm flags on sleeves or players/coaches making holier than though political statements and such things. Both seem to be most active in inserting these putrid ideological quips in their entourage, while acting as if that's virtuous. This is why Southgates diversity penalty taker fail was so funny in last world cup. He obviously chose takers on racial basis, not actually ones, who are reliable shooters. Similar with France against Arg.
