Euro 2020 Thread (Or should it be Euro 2021?)

I think Southgate was a bit fucking jingoistic bringing up the Blitz.

British Bulldog Wartime Fighting Spirit and all that.

[helge]

Has the english press mentioned anything of the nasty behaviour and assaults against the away team fans before, during and after wednesday's semifinal ?

Wonder if sanctions are needed again; atleast until the FA learns to control the scum, which they let unto the stands.

No, they're not allowed to use headlines like "Danish fans are all poofs", they'd get into trouble.

[helge]

"Danish fans are all poofs"

I'm sure they are allowed to use lines as: Women and children attacked by english scum"

I'm aware that you suggest them to fight it out with the un-civilized scum you call supporters.

Your response should have been: "Yes we have a problem and always did".


Your attitude also tells me, that the scum are somewhat excused.

It seems to be accepted and normal behaviour in England


You could learn from the irish.

Then again: No you can't

[Mendip]

As this could well be Dan's last chance to watch England in a final - and me for that matter - I thought we should see if she can correctly predict four straight games in a row.

I've noticed some comments suggesting bias in the past, so today I loaded Italy's bowl with a plethora of Italian treats. And who doesn't love Italian food!

A few scraps of leftover English 'stodge' went in the Three Lion's bowl.

As always my lovely daughter acted as independent starter and adjudicator.



As is Dan's habit, an early swerve into the England half.



But then back to the centreline to reminisce past victories. First the Germans... 2-0 I believe?



And on to the Ukrainians... 4-0!



And then the Danes... 2-1 and our sternest test.



And then... wow!

Despite her 15 years Dan RUNS to England!



It doesn't get clearer than that!



I'm as surprised as anyone. Dan clearly predicts an England victory!

If I had a spare fiver I'd be sticking it on England to win, that's for sure.

Dan has never been wrong.

[Edmond]

You could learn from the irish.

Their last game on the Emerald Isle they were losing one nil. The game had to be canceled due to, well, you can probably guess what. :/


They're such delicate little betas.

[helge]

Dan has never been wrong.

Be prepared for a comment, if you should lose

The Dan Curse !!!

They're such delicate little betas.

Yeah well

I could offer up some personal experiences with " England's finest", but won't ruin this fine tread, more than I already did.

[harrybarracuda]

Frank Skinner thinks he should be able to perform Three Lions before the game because the Italians had Andre Bocelli singing Nessus Dorma before their first one.

He has a point.

There has to be some twat doesn't there... talk about tempting fate.

Final score, anyone?

England 1 Italy 3 final score after 90 minutes

[hallelujah]

You're not wrong with that one. A bit like United: hated, adored but never ignored.

I've got a couple of mates over there, one of whom is a big football fan from Aberdeen. He's been following Italy since his own side were otherwise inconvenienced and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that he will be rooting for the team in blue tomorrow.

Come on England!!!

Mendip, not that I would ever cast doubt upon your intentions, but have you merely placed a packet of uncooked pasta and a tin of tomatoes along with some pizza boxes under the Italian flag?

I fear it was somewhat inevitable that Dan would cock a snook at those offerings given that he no doubt had (most definitely had) an assortment of Fray Bentos and Melton Mowbray offerings in the English bowl.

One is left to proclaim that Dan's sorcery may not stand up to public scrutiny.

Mendy's about as legit as that semi-final VAR lad.


We want fairness. We want fairness.

[hallelujah]

.

I'm all for clamping down on cheating, but wasn't it the 1/4 final?

At least the poor lad managed to make a full recovery about 3 seconds later.

Mama Mia! Our Lord shu does work his miracles with the lepers and cripples of Italy!

Good work Dan!

It's not coming home.

It's coming Rome!

Italy to win 10-0

[lom]

You're trying to hide your nationalism.
Sometimes god punish immediately

[mackayae]

Our father, who art in Wembley, Southgate be thy name.
The cup will come, Kane's work will be done, in London as it was in Rome
Give us this day our daily pint And forgive Sterling’s offside trespasses, as we forgive those who bet against us.
And lead us not into under-achievement. But deliver us the title.
For football’s coming home.
The history and the glory.
Forever and ever.
Our men.

Humm agreed ... Dan may no longer be 'da man'


Italian Berrettini to beat the Clown?

gli Azzurri to slide past the soap dodgers?

[David48atTD]

Thanks to Dan ... England favorites!

[Mendip]

^ You're putting an awful lot of pressure on Dan... she's never been wrong but I can't believe she's influenced the betting odds.

My daughter has made me promise to wake her up for the match... it's school hols... so alarm set for 1:30 am. We'll be warching the final with Maya who's inside at night due to her op.

Can't wait!

Don't normally get excited about football but this is different!

Come on England!
