Are we really physically stronger than them all over the pitch?! I don't see that myself? And one thing we have got is technique at the moment - in abundance in fact looking at our bench each game!

Why would the Northern Irish orange men who are proud to be British support a catholic country.
Not sure if that map is totally accurate.

Not quite true. I have French friends contacting me saying they want us to win. In fact, one said we were going to win it, before the Scotland game.
The French are not very fond of the Italians.

really?

It's true,when it comes to football,they really don't like Italy
Even before the Zidane headbutt

But everyone I've spoken to since the semi finals want Italy to win
And that was to my face

It's really a map of Pizza Hut closures!

Yes really. Unprompted Facebook posts, Messenger and WhatsApp.

Oh it's certainly not hatred

Been here since 2006 and the vast majority are very friendly and have no problems with the English at all

But where sport is concerned it's a different matter

Especially rugby,Scotland,Ireland & Wales are all fine
But they will never cheer on England

I think it's just a healthy rivalry
As I've said,I've had no problems at all here,quite the contrary

But I still can't bring myself to cheer on the French
Well,maybe when they play Wales

Love England and was a Wembley regular for years, so sad to see the string of stories in the Guardian following the seminwin of appalling behaviour by England 'fans' all bearing the St Georges cross behaving abhorrently towards particularly female and children Danish fans which leaves a very sour taste in the mouth but nonetheless GSouth and the boys will already go down in history as the finest group of England players on and off the pitch since 1966, in a sense whatever the result we've already won


Let's go England, let's go!

You can do it!!!

Like many, I’ve been waiting decades to be at this moment - on the brink of enjoying football glory for England after so much disappointment.
Two weeks ago my best friend took his own life and I’ve been sobbing my way through most of the days since, causing me to miss the joy the last 3 England wins would’ve brought me, as rightfully my selfish life literally gets thrown into perspective.

My friend didn’t follow football much, but he was always pleased for Albion to do well, and got involved when the tournaments came along to support England.
So - selfishly - if there’s a hope for a boost of joy in my life right now, he’ll be smiling down on us to bring it home. And I’ll raise many a glass to him and enjoy the moment that I know he’d so want me to. XxX

I really really hope everyone has a great day tomorrow wherever they are watching

I know it would be gut wrenching if we lose. But we’ve done alright with this bunch of kids. Still think we’ll edge it 2-1.

Was about to reply that I hadn't seen any of these stories, but then saw whose account it was..

Just read a dozen or so pages on Roma`s main forum , they are really disgusted at the penalty ( quite rightly imho , should have been overruled ) . Some suggest it will gee them up and some say their lads are better at diving than ours , so we may get pay back .

Just had a look off the back of your post. Not much love from many, haha. Some calling us a nation of football thugs and racists... Coming from Italians that's a bit bloody rich on both fronts (perhaps not violence at an international level but certainly domestically) ...!

It is a real shame we were ever given the vote on bloody Brexit. I'm sure in the same situation most other EU nations would have had a similar outcome percentage wise in/out

Total misunderstanding of 'It's coming home' from many, too. They really don't seem like that!

All the hype is getting boring.. I will be glad when it is over....
The t v and print media have gone potty They keep referring to 1966, but need to be reminded that was the World Cup , not just Europe. Argentina beat Brazil in the South American Championship.

Seeing as the World Cup hasn’t been won by a non-European team since 2002, in fact the last 4 finals have been all Europe, I’d say that winning the Euros is just as big a deal as the WC.
