Euro 2022

I'm torn about who I want. France are far more enjoyable to watch, but I haven't seen Germany 'live'

Annoyingly, I got offered a ticket for the game, but the bloody RMT.......

If it's any consolation, as I understand it from that other thread on here if you went to the game you'd be scabbing

Yes seems to be less play acting and professional fouls, although there does seem a fair bit of shirt tugging when a player's gone past them.

Having played mixed 5-a-side for years, can confirm that women can play just as dirty as the men

(I'm just still bitter about when one of them body-checked me into the wall with absolutely no attempt to go for the ball and the ref did nothing )

Aye, I had two tickets for this

So that's five games missed due to Covid, and this one due to the strikes (with additional taking too long to sort out buying coach tickets so they ended up sold out ). Obviously more grumpy about the former than the latter.

It's a shame, as would have loved to collect the set and enjoyed the atmosphere in all the different stadiums, but them's the breaks sometimes, and (pending any other bad luck ) still going to make the most important game

Plus, can't blather on here if I'm in the stadiums

It's going to be 1966 and all that if we meet Germany in the final and 1066 and all that if we meet France.

Lovely control by Diani

The French would be Agincourt, according to tradition

I hope we play France that could be a really entertaining game.

Have some more photos from last night

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell, those were good seats!

 

[belboid]

Bloody hell, those were good seats!

Almost worth the ridiculous price!

But not quite, so I had to nick a glass as well

 

[tommers]

What was that about no diving?

 

[inva]

Magull has obviously been reading this thread

 

[two sheds]

should have been a booking

 

[two sheds]

and that was hardly a fair shoulder charge in the area, was pushed over with her arm.

 

[inva]

Popp!

 

[belboid]

Five out of five, Poppy

 

[Lord Camomile]

Popp, bang, lovely!

(You're welcome, tabloids )

 

[Lord Camomile]

That really is a quality and very enjoyable finish

 

[inva]

Really smart finish that

 

[Lord Camomile]

Much as I'm obviously rooting for Mead (or Russo) to get the golden boot, but Popp really does deserve... I dunno, something from this tournament. A hell of a lot of recognition, at the very least.

Yes I worry about the press if it's an England Germany final. The furore will be totally ott and will last for months.

 

[belboid]

Ooohhh

 

[inva]

What a strike from Diani!

 

[inva]

I'd just been about to post that Germany have kept her quiet

 

[Lord Camomile]

Always hate, as everyone does, that those go down as own goals (though there's arguably no way they couldn't).

Regardless, what a strike! Two great goals

 

[hash tag]

Oh dear, what a dreadful og.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Blimey, hadn't realised we were so close to HT, too!

 

[two sheds]

Lovely goal

 

[two sheds]

Yep first half gone quickly

Speaking of scabbing, I see tonight's game is at the franchise's grounded
