All that hype for something meh

Pair him with Shelvey and we're a team of conditions.

"For all the controversy about taking the knee, there's one imminent knee where they won't be booed. At Buckingham Palace. Sir-tainly not."

Matterface is definitely jotting down iconic lines in a cafe right now. Some spin on "They think it's all over"

Southgate You're the One by Atomic Kitten is now on Spotify, just in case it's stuck in your heads too

Morning after the night before. And it's class seeing the bitterness out there. Imagine if Newcastle ever won something

No idea, this is new for all of us.

Was gonna have an early night, so we'll see.

This is just phenomenal. And the next 96 hours will be remembered for the rest of our lives. You just accept that 1966 was the one and it'll never happen again, always alternating between national disgrace and glorious failure. It was almost comforting. The thought of winning a second trophy? Well that's surreal. Underachievement is comforting and change is scary. Sunday will certainly be interesting with the Italian missus The pre-match Wembley atmosphere was spine-tingling, quickly replaced by tension but I thought Sterling was remarkable. Still not even sure it was a dive tbh. But what a mental night. What a mental few days ahead. Holy fucking shit.

Want some pre-match hype? Here's Peter Beardsley (and Gazza) auditioning for the John Barnes 1990 rap

Oh you know FIFA - money, money, money.

The hype is off the charts today, the whole country is torturously getting through the day. Even I'm counting down and I'm not particularly an England fan. Just think I'm desperate to experience jubilation, which will clearly never happen with Newcastle

Gutted that Italy did it, this was the first time I'd been impressed by Spain all tournament. Although I didn't get the BBC hype about it being an exhilarating all-time classic. It was ok, certainly got better over time. As for Morata..... what a joke. Ballsed up everything except his goal, which makes me think that was also a mistake.

Sounds like it's for Wigan too. FFS

Girlfriend is Italian, so I've felt for a while that it'll clearly be Italy v England in the final. Because that's how the world works

Parts of this looks like good news, yet I get the vibe that they're starting to worry about this failing.

Interesting developments that I think can put to bed a few doubts about PIF's intentions.

Will he outlast De Boer's five games? Maybe but they'll still go down.

If anyone was still on your side, you've just lost them. GB News? Absurd.

England were at Greece's entertainment level until tonight, mind. And there must be something wrong with me because I didn't cheer anything. Just shrugged shoulders, played on phone and had a nap. Very weird.

Watched it thinking "Decent first half, Italy look ok" and in here it was a classic starring Brazil 1970

Land of Hope and Glory is the best.

So the statement is some sort of blackmail, subtly threatening to release some Super League-related info? Interesting.

July 1st, man. Fuck. We're stuck with Bruce and Ashley for a decent chunk of this season aren't we? At least.
