ToonArmy1892 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Sunday is going to be an amazing occasion like whatever happens. I'm also going out for a meal with my family for the first time since the pandemic on Saturday night. It promises to be a cracking weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I have to say win or lose, Southgate has been so impressive. Plenty of England fans, including myself have been critical of his approach and I'm yet to be convinced he's a great coach. What he has done is: i) surrounded himself with good coaches ii) managed energy levels well iii) created a great atmosphere in the camp This has allowed us to build momentum through the tournament. He's learnt from the World Cup and adopted a more conservative style focused on making us difficult to play through. It remains to be seen whether that stands up against a team of Italy's quality, but its meant we've been able to comfortably navigate through games in which England teams of the past would have struggled. This is the best England team I've seen. We've had better individuals before, who have produced more stylish football, but I've never seen an England team so united and functional as a unit. Southgate does have his flaws, but the job he's done had been nothing short of brilliant. Regardless of what happens on Sunday he has me eating my words and long may it continue.

I'll be honest, I could care less about England, but it would take more energy than being apathetic, so I think I'll stick. It irritates me a little that if we win it will make up for 40 years of real hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it like, obviously they have to talk but just say who's on the ball, if it went out for a corner etc. Most of these cunts think they are celebrities or something, and have to make every game into a soap opera, does my fucking head in. And as a few people said a while back, fuck the co commentator off, not needed and just makes it even more annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one the other night with Jenas, he totally got the wrong end of the stick when replying to a question. He paused and you just knew he had realised his mistake, but instead of holding his hands up he just continued. I don't think anybody noticed like which is probably why he's perfect for TV.

Ben Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Looks like everyone who is everyone is getting tickets for Sundays game, not many real fans though, even Boris is trying to get it up to full capacity so more can attend. The UEFA family must be making a killing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 What team would you play? Walker Maguire Stones Shaw Phillips Henderson Grealish Sancho Kane Sterling As I said last night wouldn't be surprised if he went with Henderson, Phillips, Rice in midfield. Don't think Mount deserves to start after his last performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Tickets for the fan zone at the Centre for Life went on sale at midday.

It's been used for decades. I think the last Euros to kick off mid afternoon was Euro 96 (even that might be wrong). The last WC to kick off early was 1994/2014 but that was due to the European core audience. Edited July 9, 2021 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
