Que yo no me gusta eso para nada.

second half it was really...how many shots on or off target second half? Netherlands had a few.... it was creeping away from us I think

A goal given offside by a couple of millimetres.

O que de hecho yo sí me gusta eso un montón.

England were the better team, but it took a fucking excellent goal to settle it

By the by, getting fucking sick of seeing Atos adverts at the Euros.

true...even so it was not looking good last 20
ANYWAY! Finally a final to watch - usually a non event

only one thing on his mind

 

[JimW]

and the best ref money can buy

Was really surprised that match-fixing isn't a bar to carrying on tbh

 

[souljacker]

So the final is between the squad with the highest estimated value versus the team with the second highest estimated value

Market works I suppose

I'm calling that dangerous play, penalty, yellow card. Correct decision.

It takes the slightest deflection off the back of the defenders calf, doesn't it?

 

[AverageJoe]

hole in socks ... Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.

Isn't it?

Spain are the better team - but England - thanks to some extrodianrilty skillful attackers - keep having these moments of messy brilliance and they might just do it.
Can see gareth playing cautious and inevitably conceeding and then we have another late wonder goal to send the match into extra-time and england win on penalties.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Harry Kane who surely must contribute more at some point. He's too good not to.

Bang on the money

I can definately see us winning it now, which wasn't the case in the group stage.
We just keep grabbing a goal when it's really needed.

Need to think about what to do on Sunday......

England showed tonight, though, that they can be a brilliant team. Everyone was firing for a period in the first half: Foden, Saka, Walker, Mainoo, Bellingham. It was wave after wave of brilliance and very unlucky not to score. It was amazing to watch, every bit as amazing as Spain.

I really hope we dont sit back and let them squash us....we'll get done over if so. Need to intimidate them.

My impression is that the atmosphere and interrelationships amongst the squad is really good, and credit to Gareth, I think he's been brilliant at both defending the team from the moaners, keeping faith in his squad which helps them have faith in themselves etc... no untouchable egos to unbalance the squad etc... they genuinely seem like a good bunch of people, and relatively down to earth for multimillionaires... they're going to go into Sunday from a really good starting place.

 

[Kaka Tim]

The Gammons on the specator facebook page hate southgate and think hes a useless woke loser. So spare them a thought - and have some extra joy.

 

[BigMoaner]

So happy for that team. Was welling up at the end.

"He shouldn't even be on the pitch"....

Well he won't be in the final.

Revenge. Ave that Koeman, Southgate kept the receipts.

I think Kane deserves some of the credit for that. He could be a Ronaldo-style tosser, but he clearly isn't.

Who the fuck do they think should manage us? Allardyce?

That 'useless woke loser' has taken us into two finals now. Last time we had a decent manager was Venables and that was when I was in high school, and I'm 40 now.
