[MrSki]

Pessimistic, only sane choice.

The pessimist is never disappointed.

In other news...

What a fucking plum.

Good on Co-op.

dont think they'll get home in time if it closes at 7.45 tbf...maybe for the second half

Depends how far you live. The England Vs Germany match I got home in time to see the final whistle.

Yep, beer/crisp revenues in the hour before KO too lucrative to forego, obvs

Reality sets in for bar owner who pledged 2,000 free parmos if England win Euros

An act of remarkable generosity or an 'own goal'? Joe Franks will find out on Sunday

The stakes are high

Riding the unicorn.

There's nothing to be redeemed.

You're forgetting THAT pizza hut advert

Finals are usually cagey affairs
Italy and England both have good defensive records
This one has nil nil and penalities written all over it
Though theres also a strong chance of either team winning a dodgy penalty through diving during normal time

yeah I said this on another thread, if anything it will be a 1 or 2 nil affair if it doesn't go to pens

What a fucking plum.

I doubt he's upto it.

 

[magneze]

I'm trying to think of a more pathetic protest, but coming up short.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I know a lot of people miss the "all day build up to the FA Cup final", but I feel like the BBC may have gone too far the other way with this...

Still, I look forward to watching the five round, full-squad jenga tournament and hearing Jordan Henderson's favourite books about the industrial revolution.

It's virtue signalling

surely not when does jack come off the bench

 

[tommers]

6-0 Rice to get the lot etc.

Seriously though, we're better than Austria. And Spain.

Although a final against Spain would have been great. Both of us passing it between our centre backs for 120 minutes.

 

[Athos]

Predicting a high scoring final.

From the two teams that have conceded fewest goals of everyone in the tournament, and each scored fewer than both the losing semi-finalists?

Ah see I was looking for some decent analysis &/ build up to listen to or watch yesterday and there wasn't nearly enough

 

[Diamond]

Can't even think about this properly. We're in a final. Grinding halt.

It's just their normal daily football live text updates isn't it? They have it every day during the football season I think.

I was exploiting the ambiguity of the English language to extrapolate to extreme lengths for comedic effect

How many of the Italian squad have actually made it to a major international final before? Only Jorginho at a quick glance.

V about half the England squad. Sure only the ‘pool n chelski players actually won one but even losing in such a match gives experience the azurri ain’t got.

 

[Lord Camomile]

And as has been pointed out, a number of our squad have recent experience of winning a tournament with the national team, although ironically, not the senior members of the squad...

 

[belboid]

Have we had this yet?

At a guess, at least Bonucci & Chiellini.

Good spot. Both in the losing 2012 euros finalists. Chiellini was in the under19s euros in 2003.

So what? Who cares?
