Is Hector Bellerin actually 1970s-era George 'The Beatles' Harrison?

He's also ripped off He's So Fine by The Chiffons, so the evidence is mounting up.

Why the flippity flip didn't Wiegman bring Agyemang and Kelly on, earlier? Grrrr!
If we play either Germany or Spain like that, we're gonna be Euro final choppes by half-time.

I thought Germany accquitted themselves well, and Spain were just that little bit better, but they go out with their heads held high.
Also - both teams had adidas strips, but Spain had the modern adidas logo on theirs, whilst Germany sported the retro three leaf adidas design, which looked really cool, so I'm sorry they lost.

The only way England win the final is to play like John Beck's Cambridge Utd side.

England didn't win that match, Spain lost it.
We were decent in patches, in a sort of 1980s efficient German mens team kinda way, but Spain should've put us to the sword and didn't, so Yippee!
I was slightly confident during the penalties, and I'm not entirely sure why!
I'm chuffed for the team - they seem a thoroughly decent bunch.

it was good. I also felt more confident during the penalties but largely just because it didn't look like there was a chance in hell we'd score again otherwise

I did go to the semi-final in the end and shouted a bit of encouragement, so I'm going to claim most of the credit for all this.

To-night's match against Serbia should be interesting. And possibly racist in parts, too, which'll enable England to take the well-deserved moral high ground, as we're most definitely not racist in any way, no siree, not us.

Indeed they were.
For long periods of the game, I thought we must be the team playing in blue!!!!!!1111!!!
But a good performance, and no racism, so hurrah!

Also, I think it was nice of Norway to score for Moldova.
Just to take the sting out of their other goals.

Once England try to squeeze Bellingham, Foden, and Palmer back into the side, all will be well (disjointed mediocrity).

The managers of Rnagers and Celtid should jobshare to make things a bit more interetsing - swap halfway through the season.
Also this with the Manchester clubs.
