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

[dessiato]

I've decided I'm having a siesta this afternoon come what may. I'm going to be watching inside a bar. It'll be the first time in over a year I've been inside one. Mrs D is worried about it but has been fully vaccinated, I've only had my first.

I'm expecting a drink or two might, possibly, be had.

I have just finished mine. Had a bottle of Westons Vintage and a Sainsburys own brand tinny but have had to go for a can of G & T that was lurking in the fridge. Going to pop up to the petrol station when it opens at 7am and am planning on an afternoon nap before the big event.

Just chatted with neighbour. She is half Scottish, half English.

Said she is going to her (Scottish) mum's to watch the game. Her mum hates England so much and neighbour loves to see it

The Ten year old again, half an hour ago.

I noticed he'd got himself a drink.

"What are you drinking Ted?"
"Jack Daniels and Coke with a splash of vodka. I'm starting early.".

It was just coke

Come what may, it's important to remember this won't be our only great chance to win something. Some of the ages of some of the players are staggering. Bellingham 18, Saka 19, James, Foden & Sancho 21, Rice & Mount 22. Even veteran Rashford is only 24 and Harry Kane is 27.

I only realised the other day that we have the World Cup at the end of next year, well hopefully.

I fancy our chances in that far more ,coming from this final and the semi final last time, with this group of lads.

What a thing it'd be if England won the Euros then boycotted Qatar!

Most capped player in the side is Raheem Sterling, practically pensionable at 26.

Henderson, Tripper and Walker are our only over 30s. It's not just the world Cup next year, the euros in 3 years as well - this squad will evolve but there will barely be a single player having to be replaced through necessity.

Alexander-Arnold and Wan-Bissaka to come in for Walker and Trippier. Thank goodness we have so many good right backs.

FEB done. Spliff lit.

Come on England!

I'm trying not to get nervous. There are ten hours until the game

Pace yourselves

 

[Steel Icarus]

Yeah, go steady. In 2006 I drank a lot of beer during England's penalty defeat by Portugal, fell down the stairs, then slept through my favourite player Zidane's finest ever performance against Brazil like a daft twat.

Ok, ok Dad.

FFS, I thought we had an agreement you wouldn't hassle me on here?

I've done the washing up.

 

[Voley]

2-1 is trending on Twitter atm, with the vast amount of people saying it'll be us winning. I'll gladly agree with that right now. I'm very nervous.

The combined age of the two Italy centre backs is 70.

WHY SO LONG

Because some of us are at work

 

[tony.c]

Only nine hours to go now.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pace of Sterling and Saka up against the experience of Bonucci and Chiellini.

Let us have this one day, eh

 

[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.
