Euro 2024

Silence, followed by boos.

Wembley magic, great send-off for the lads :facepalm: :D

Well done Iceland, knocked us out a tournament then did us again in our own backyard, the "home of football", no less.
 
Only saw the last thirty minutes and it was dire! The players look dejected and not without good reason.
 
Wonder if somewhere in the stadium there are some 'farewell fireworks' quietly being packed away, next to be seen down the local market on Sunday...
 
I didn’t watch the match or any highlights of it, but from a foreign resident’s perspective, I am shocked though not surprised to hear the players were booed.

Embarrassing as the result might have been, it was a meaningless friendly, ffs. Be shocked at it if you must, but what’s the point of berating the most gifted squad the country has assembled in decades because of a single bad day at the office?

Ironically, this might work to the advantage of the fortunes of Camp England. The lower the expectations from the masses, the less pressure the players will have to endure.
 
I fell asleep so missed second half of the first England match this week, I should have done the same with the second. Maybe I jinxed the team. For a team that's supposed to be so good, I didn't see it v Iceland.

I did watch it and the shocking thing was the team’s performance - and it was certainly no surprise they were booed for it by people who’d paid their money in the reasonable expectation of seeing something better. Friendly or not, I’d have booed them too, they deserved it.
 
I've backed Portugal to make the semis, to reach the final . France v Portugal final, Lukaku top goalscorer , Fernandes most assists. Also had some group bets. Obviously, when these are all lost I'll find some more inspired wagers.
