Euros Final - Italy v England - Sunday 11/07 - 20:00

[Rebelda]

Fucking right he went down before anyone touched him

 

[Sprocket.]

Italy having a bit of a go here but they are vulnerable on the flanks

That’s what the Greeks said in Albania.

 

[Diamond]

I tried to blag my way in with some friends at Wembley - didn't make it, some did though.

 

[Rebelda]

I can't believe we're in a final playing decent football. I do not know this sensation.

 

[Diamond]

This is all going remarkably well, though, isn't it?

Spinazzola a huge loss. Chiesa looks the most likely for them - a really fascinating player - I like how he basically looks a bit crazy all the time with those huge bulging eyes.

Did Tom Cruise get there first, the bastard.

 

[Ax^]

haha no this time sterling

 

[belboid]

Italy destroying us according to the stats.

well, all but one of them

 

[planetgeli]

Stones having another great game

 

[Rebelda]

Stones is playing an absolute blinder.

 

[Rebelda]

Lol snap

 

[Lord Camomile]

Not saying this in a "he's been anonymous" way, but John Stones has had a pretty quiet tournament. Feel like most others have been being talked about or had their moments, but not really him.

 

[planetgeli]

And that should do very nicely for half-time.

Football, bloody hell.

 

[Diamond]

Am completely sold on Phillips now - amazing to think how many other players there might be in the lower leagues waiting for some excellent coaching to take them to another level..

 

[tommers]

Beautiful. Playing really well.

 

[tommers]

Rice been the standout player once again.

 

[Pickman's model]

Good half but need one more goal early in the second half

 

[Lord Camomile]

My mum has been volunteering at Wembley, but apparently they've been sent home early because people were throwing things

It's not all England fans, but christ it's also far too many.

Massive speculation, but I also imagine the potent combo of "first England final for 55 years" + over a year of lockdown means everyone's gone that little bit more demob happy and let loose even more.

She made it home about 15-20 mins into the game, with this little souvenir

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about

 

[two sheds]

Shaw's been stunning too.

 

[blairsh]

Harry Kane been playing well tbf.

 

[JimW]

Magnificent half of football. Reckon we might have to watch these Italians, mind. Also, why oh why didn't Raheem go himself at the end there?

 

[SpookyFrank]

England should have plenty left in the tank after playing fairly deep for most of that half. Italy worked hard for not much reward. Superb defensive performance from England.

 

[campanula]

Luke Shaw scoring a goal! He was almost destroyed by Mourinho (the cunt) - so pleased to see him...and Declan Rice - sound as a pound.- loving him going forward. Mount and Sterling could be doing more.

 

[JimW]

Sir Luke Shaw. What a tournament.

 

[Petcha]

Rice been the standout player once again.

Nope. Shaw.

He appears to have has his Robert Johnson moment prior to the tournament. He's been brilliant.

 

[Ted Striker]

I can't believe we're in a final playing decent football. I do not know this sensation.

This.

The lack of "how do we recover from setback", is pure new emotional territory.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I want a little more from us going the other way tbh, Sterling's not been in the game nearly enough

 

[SpookyFrank]

Rice been the standout player once again.

Rice and Walker for me.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck it, wouldn't expect it to be easy in a final, but we've also not looked particularly vulnerable or fragile

Would like a few more clear cut chances, been putting good moves together that break down before the final pass/shot, but arguably it's not too surprising neither team has had many decent chances given they're the two best defences in the tournament.

Still waiting for the other shoe to drop and have my heart broken again, but fuck it, we're 1-0 up at half time
