England are like a boorish drunken guest at a party. If they're turfed out early enough, then everyone can get back to enjoying the event.

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 2:58 pm**

the party is hosted by Arabs and the English turned up as crusaders

that actually happened when i worked for Pearson. Can't remember exact details but it was something like visitors from the Dubai office coming over and there was a fancy dress party.

I can only conclude that England fans think everyone got away in The Great Escape

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 5:54 pm**

What universe is this?

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 5:55 pm**

Baffling. Hooray

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 5:56 pm**

I'm still pretty certain var is about to disallow those goals though

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 5:57 pm**

I chose well in only watching the second half

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 6:01 pm**

Hooray for Eggland

Blimeys!

Also - well done England. Germany put in a Euro 2000-tastic performance, and we deserved to win. I still don't think we were that much cop, but we were solid defensively, and scored two good goals. And next up is either Sweden or Ukraine, so... Semi-Finalists?

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 6:57 pm**

Sweden have been pretty decent so far.

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 6:58 pm**

In the groups I mean. I haven't seen into the future or anything

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 7:26 pm**

It wasn't an entertaining game, but England deserved to win it

Now this other game isn't very entertaining either, can we have yesterday back

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 7:28 pm**

hooray I complained and a goal happened

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:48 pm**

The last twenty minutes of this was so dull

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 9:23 pm**

This extra time is utterly brutal.

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 10:00 pm**

Yeah that was hard work

Posted: **Tue Jun 29, 2021 10:00 pm**

Oh well, now we all get a nice little rest

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 6:39 pm**

Wirral Globe cutting to the nub of the matter

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 6:53 pm**

Excellent

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 6:53 pm**

Also this is basically the best thing since Spurs appointed George Graham as manager

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 6:54 pm**

Maybe everton will get a league cup out of it in exchange for the entirety of their dignity too who knows

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:30 pm**

also lovely nuno espirito santo is the spurs manager now.

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:31 pm**

I'm fairly confident we'll beat an utterly knackered Ukraine. And then?

Plague

Wait what?

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:32 pm**

I hoep Spurs don't break him.

Or his berad.

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:33 pm**

if twitter is any indication, all the spurs fans hate him already. football fans deserve absolutely nothing at all except misery

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:34 pm**

i hope spurs win the league and nuno still stands there looking slightly sad beneath his huge beard in his huge coat, lost in thoughts bigger and deeper than our own

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:41 pm**

I wonder if like Samson, if Nuno is shorn of hair/berad then he loses his power...
...to purchase under-the-radar Portuguese players?

Switzerland / Spain - I think the Swiss will try to do to Spain what they did to France, but I've just got a sneaking feeling that Spain will edge past via a goal scored in extra time. Also, Switzerland... should the situation arise, don't let Rodriguez take ANY MORE PENALTIES!

Posted: **Fri Jul 02, 2021 1:22 am**

Belgium / Italy - I can't see anything else other than an Italian victory in normal time. Both are dangerous teams going forward, but Belgium's defence is more likely to be breached, I reckons!

Posted: **Fri Jul 02, 2021 1:37 am**

Switzerland will lose 8-0 while belgium will win 9-7. Then Denmark will win -8--9 before Englands mighty 0-0 success (1-0 on penalties, after 27 penalties each)

A likely story!!!

I have bet all my houses on it

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 6:16 pm**

Tonight's match is going to be excruciating isn't it

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 7:57 pm**

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 7:57 pm**

Adventure, heh. Excitement, hmm. England craves not these things.

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 7:59 pm**

I thought that was pretty good

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 7:59 pm**

for england

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:10 pm**

Blimey

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:11 pm**

Are we allowed to celebrate yet

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:12 pm**

It always feels like you can't cheer a goal until they've kicked off again now, due to the inevitability of var

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:12 pm**

But there was no var

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:14 pm**

I never celebrate til the match is over, due to stoicism

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:16 pm**

, a lifetime of disappointment

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:49 pm**

Football, isn't it?

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:54 pm**

you know?

Posted: **Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:14 pm**

I enjoyed the ref blowing for full time on the dot and denying any extra. That was fun.
