So we are off and running.

Thought I'd create a thread where all matters relating to the tournament (apart from Scotland which has it's own thread) can go.

Almost half time in ?? v ?? game.

All Italy but still no break through.

Italians have looked really good so far. Will they make the break through or will the Turks hit them with the classic sucker punch ?

 

I haven’t checked the BBC app or news today, have england won it yet?

They won it around May 2019 I think.

Good to see the English reverting to type outside Wembley. 
 

 

Oh fuck. These cunts are going to win this.

Italy are completely pumping them one each.

Not sure they can keep up this tempo though.

Not quite sure exactly what it is about him but anyone else think Jordan Pickford is a thoroughly disagreeable cunt ?

Wonder if the red tops will crucify Rashford, Sancho, and Saka or if their editors have grown up a bit?

Hope the three lads have enough sense to stay away from social media as suspect they will be get abuse that has little to do with them missing penalties. 
 

Best team on the night and in the tournament in general won tonight. 
 

Football’s going to Rome instead. 

Fighting stewards and cops before kick off to get in without tickets.
Couldn't get out of wembley fast enough at the end. Wouldnt even stay to see their team pick up their medals.
Class all round

I really feel for Gareth and the boys tonight.

I see there were Scots there to support the winners. 

Pretty sure I saw another sign which consisted of a saltire, the terminator and the phrase 'we'll be back'

Southgate bringing Rashford and Sancho on right at the end was a bit daft for me. They might be good penalty takers but they had no chance to settle into the game and calm their nerves before taking the penalty.

Always strikes me as odd. Don’t trust a player to win you the game during normal play but do from penalties.

It defies the logic a little. Let's be honest, most players can perform the physical motion of scoring a penalty the key is coping with the pressure and nerves. By taking players on (especially in the manner it happened where the sub was withdrawn twice in order to let the clock run as close to the 120 as possible) purely for penalties, you're heaping the pressure on them more than in an ordinary penalty situation that they'd be used to. Is Henderson, for example, that shit at pens that he is worse than Rashford with 1 minute of match time and an additional 20% of pressure? Also, if you're putting these guys on as specialists then get them up first to add to the psychology of the situation, showing them that they're the best. We're taking you on solely because you're brilliant at pens, but not as good as these other guys, so wait your turn and dwell on it for a further five minutes. It's a fairly perverse logic. Wouldn't have phased Kenny McLean mind you.

Fucking brilliant laugh after that result.

Comedy Gold ???

GIRFUY you hooligan, self obsessed, hyped tae fuck average fitbaw team cunts.

All 3 black players racially abused online...English hooligans all over social media and fans breaking barriers to get into Wembley.

Scumbags and sore losers.

I heard they took their medals straight off after they were put around their necks...akin to the snowflake rugby players who did the same thing.

What a bunch of arrogant, racist , brexit loving cunts they are.

And before the match they all sang 'wherever they go Scotland get battered.

Isn't karma beautiful 

Hahahahahahahaha
