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

[strung out]

I very much doubt it's true that they haven't seen violence at Rovers games to be honest.

I guess there was that game at Ashton Gate in 1996

He did fuck all in that game tho. Lousy match, made tonight’s look brilliant.

I didn't. You said 'you never quite seem to manage it though, do you', about not being violent or racist, to which I replied that I do.

You called me a silent onlooker, which is a really fucking shitty thing to say because you're basically saying I tolerate violence and racism. I don't, and I've challenged it, online and in person at football.

Yep. And you think that an entire stadium of people booing another team is absolutely fine and free of horrible people.

Never said it wasn't free of horrible people. Plenty of cunts around, but it ain't the booing that makes them cunts.

Playing with significant hamstring injury apparently.

No. But that’s an aspect of it.

I mean the world is full of horrible people. It's not unique to football. I've been on lefty demos full of fucking dickheads I'm sure.

I do agree the insinuation that Strung out is somehow complicit for other people's racism is a bit out of order.

I don’t for a second thing he’s actually racist… I just think people allow a lot of shit they ordinarily might not.

If it had been at a neutral venue, with equal number of fans for each side, would you be cool with that? Any fan wants to give their team an advantage, so you can’t expect them not to boo. It seems unsporting when one team is lucky enough to be st home, especially in a year like this (these) when the opposition can have fewer than ever fans, but what can you do? Have an agreement that only odd numbered seats can boo/cheer?

 

[belboid]

Aah, that really would explain things.

 

[strung out]

He'll be telling us that the fans behind the goal aren't allowed to wave and try to put the penalty taker off too

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

Maybe they’re Italian!

I mean yeah I find that football encourages rivalry beyond friendly competition. I grew up near Arsenal’s turf, I’ve always hated this shit.

 

[N_igma]

This will cheer you up no end anyway

 

[belboid]

anyway, it was what it was.

a very enjoyable tournament, with some stunning and some bizarre moments throughout. It was exciting and unpredictable with the best two teams in the final.

shitty penalties is a lousy way to lose, but you can’t say Italy were undeserving.

Long live Christian Eriksen.

 

[spring-peeper]

Have not read any new posts on the thread.

Dear fellow Urbinites,

Thank you for letting me share the game with you.

Hubby and guests arrived for Sunday dinner, so I missed the extra time.

Dinner was served in time for the penalty kicked.

So, so sorry about the results. but heads held high for a valient attempt.

You guys rocked,

Spring peeper.

Robbery

Spain has been very close to getting into the final, and therefore to winning the Euro (there was no competent rival) with 18 and 20 year old players that nobody trusted. Along with one of the worst strikers in the history of Spain, such as Morata.

I don't want to imagine how proud you would be of these children if you were Spanish.

What's Spain got to do with the final?

Went to bed when extra time started as couldn't stand watching the inevitable ending. Pleased I did.

I was waiting for the lactic acid build up.
What is it with modern teams? There was nobody having a calf massage pre penalties...
Is it their uber fitness? Or do they take something to eliminate the cramps?

 

[May Kasahara]

My brother in law bet on that exact result and won £850 He said he feels dirty.

 

[platinumsage]

Wow I got the correct result in the poll, along with only 7% of Urbans, despite me not knowing what a penalties is.

I was loving your post til the final bit. Germany in the last 16 after winning the group convincingly wasn't a lucky draw. Ukraine in the quarters was payback for German in the 16s.

This isn't that far from believing in karma etc which you've so poo-pooed before

 

[dessiato]

Thanks, that's a good performance, however, I think Pavarotti was better. This is my favourite version.

 

[dessiato]

I watched the match in a Spanish bar with a drunk, extremely passionate, friend. It was a tense night. Sadly, at the end, England, although good, wasn't quite good enough.

But it's the best result there's been in 55 years. We should take some comfort from that.

And it took penalties to decide the outcome.

Good morning everybody!

Uber fitness. With modern training you can pretty much train the body to avoid cramps.

Good morning everybody!

i'll tell you the worst thing about the result last night, if england had won it might have been the end for the appalling three lions song
