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

[neonwilderness]

AND I have also really enjoyed the Euros forum so well done everyone but especially Badgers

Well done Badgers

 

[two sheds]

the only consolation is that twat johnson would have been fucking unbearable and claiming all the credit if england had won...

We only lost because kneeling before the game weakened our precious bodily fluids

 

[belboid]

Why are they all taking their medals off?

Because they’re shit. No one wants to be second best

 

[Steel Icarus]

Fair play to Italy, well deserved. Probably the best team in the tournament.

 

[Petcha]

Quite predictably social media is blowing up with the replacements a minute beforehand and letting a 19yo take the crucial penalty. Horrible. He's gonna suffer again. Southgate and the kid.

 

[Idris2002]

Nah, my dog is deaf.

How does it smell?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ffs don't take your medals off. You earned it. I never got near one.

Happens at almost every tournament; players rarely want to keep the medals on after they've received them.

I kind of understand it, in the moment, but I hope (and believe) that some point soon they'll realise what they achieved, and that it was an achievement.

Seriously, get fucked gabi.

 

[ddraig]

You need to stick with them now. They deserve a heroes' welcome now, regardless of losing.

That's what they'd get from Irish fans, if they were an Irish team. Will they get it from English fans?

Welsh team got a massive heroes' welcome after last euros, which got slagged by some media

 

[Mation]

Pah. Italy didn't win it. They just didn't lose it.

Which happens. Happened.

Pah.

Were the Italians the only team who kneeled alongside us?

Inevitable, sadly, but I do hope they'll be drowned out by the positive voices, of which there are many too.

 

[tommers]

Why are they all taking their medals off?

Cos they wanted to win. Fucks sake.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Were the Italians the only team who kneeled alongside us?

Germany did too.

Denmark didn't but they all applauded.

 

[two sheds]

Did Scotland?

 

[twistedAM]

Germany did too.

Denmark didn't but they all applauded.

What about Croatia?

 

[Mation]

Cos they wanted to win. Fucks sake.

Was your fucks sake at me?

 

[SpookyFrank]

England still a young team. And a world cup semi final and a euro final in three years. This lot will still be getting better when that twat Chiellini has long since been boiled down for glue.

 

[Badgers]

 

[strung out]

Did Scotland?

Yep

 

[Steel Icarus]

but I can’t believe neither Sterling or hendo wasn’t prepared to take a pen.

Hendo had been subbed before pennos mate.

 

[belboid]

“it’s devastating today but not disastrous tomorrow.”

Mark Palios on Tranmere’s relegation from the football league.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Did Scotland?

Yes

 

[Athos]

Just had an interesting (to me, at least) discussion with mates about what deal you'd make with the football gods. For what would you trade an England win tonight? For me, it'd be Luton making the play-offs, or beating W**ford to reach an FA Cup final.

On the plus side, next season looking good for Luton.

 

[ricbake]

You think that's bad, our Apple TV decided we hadn't moved enough so cut out with "Are you still watching?" right as Rashford started his run up.

No he did actually pause in his run up!

 

[Petcha]

Inevitable, sadly, but I do hope they'll be drowned out by the positive voices, of which there are many too.

Southgate seems a genuinely lovely man, and got most things right. But I don't think there can be any defence of that tactical decision. Taking Henderson off? With penalties beckoning? And then putting Saka up for the final one?

 

[quimcunx]

Did Scotland?

Yep

Oh. That's good. I thought I saw they werent going to.

 

[magneze]

Utter shite penalty take from Rashford. Hate when players take that type of penalties.

Had it come off would have been brilliant though.

 

[belboid]

Hendo had been subbed before pennos mate.

Well he couldn’t have been subbed after, could he?

Rashford came on for him

 

[tony.c]

England losing hasn't put off someone in the village from letting off a shit-ton of fireworks.

Maybe they’re Italian

Or ABEs?
