[weltweit]

BBC or ITV?

I am on BBC at the moment, is it better?

BBC every time

 

[Lord Camomile]

I am fucking RAGING that it was Chiellini of all people who brought out the trophy.

 

[Elpenor]

I’ve gone for ITV as less waffle at half time plus Ian Wright

 

[Ax^]

captain of the last winning side in Europe

who did you want to bring it out

the king

 

[strung out]

What are those straps on the England training tops for?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Those unpatriotic Spanish swines can’t even be bothered to sing along to their national anthem, they don’t deserve to win.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Won the toss. Sign.

 

[zedr]

not into the national anthems but england fans whistling and booing thru opponents anthems is gross

 

[Numbers]

Couldn't face going to the pub for this. Have the telly running through a 1kw sound system usually reserved for drum and bass, the foundations of the house are being challenged and I'm absolutely buzzing.

John Stones to be man of the match, you heard it here first.

Same here, have powered up the whole system, sounds lush.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Honestly, it'll be so bloody funny if Kane gets a second Golden Boot in successive Euros

 

[Lord Camomile]

I was just saying to my mum, it feels like that has become more common across international football (which is not to suggest at all that, even if it has, England fans are not routinely guilty of it).

 

[Lord Camomile]

We're not keeping possession when we get it, so far.

 

[skyscraper101]

90% Spanish posession so far

 

[Wilf]

Looking a bit ominous this.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ohhh, wait, this is where we use the lessons we've learned from our opponents earlier in the film.

Namely, playing without posession a lot.

 

[Steel Icarus]

There's gonna be a lot of this. Covering Spain as they probe. How ridiculous that Cucurella is still getting booed by the Germans

 

[WouldBe]

bellends who will be in the pub shouting "stop passing it backwards!" every two minutes.

Well stop passing it backwards then.

 

[Favelado]

Spain outplaying England completely so far.

 

[Lord Camomile]

We were always going to spend time without the ball while Spain pass it around, that's what they do and they're very good at it.

I just wish that when we do get the ball we hold onto it for more than three passes, rather than just giving it straight back and inviting them to so it again.

This is a bit more promising...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Spain outplaying England completely so far.

Yeah, exactly.

We expected them to outplay us. Just would prefer it wasn't completely.

Again, though, have got a bit more into it now.

Nervous and excited, I'd love to see us win something just once in my lifetime.

I think Spain look better but the way our tournament has gone, I think/hope it could be possible.

I was about 14 months old in 1966 , so they have won in my lifetime, I'd like them to win in younger lifetimes too.

 

[Favelado]

Yeah, exactly.

We expected them to outplay us. Just would prefer it wasn't completely.

Again, though, have got a bit more into it now.

Fair assessment. England have quality too and hoping to see it.

 

[belboid]

Spain outplaying England completely so far.

And yet they’ve barely managed two shots.

England are stopping them playing. But are barely playing themselves when they do get the chance.

 

[Favelado]

Yes definitely. I feel like Spain might be able to pick the lock though with what they’ve shown us. Remember I have to listen to the entire neighbourhood explode if that happens so say that with no pleasure.

 

[tommers]

Doing alright so far.

 

[WouldBe]

I was 3 and don't remember it.

Goodwork by Shaw there

Parents are going to go nuts at their kids slicing their socks up.
