Keeping My Avatar Intact

We’ll done England
We’re very proud of you

Fantastic match. :-)

Shockingly poor match, 89 minutes of boredom - two good goals.

[Bobbisox1]

It did lack lustre but the score is the most important thing

[Ken4155]

Agree with SD. Very poor game made to look better because of the two goals.

[Barmaid]

Mr BM is singularly unimpressed.

I thought it was pedestrian save for a couple of good bits.

But as I regularly tell him, it's not how you get there it's the fact that you did. Unless you lose in which case it is putting up the best fight.

He thinks I talk nonsense ;) we mainly agree to disagree.

Has there been some sort of sport on the telly then? I've not been watching.

Tennis Chris - whiff-whaff....with lots of white pantied bottoms today.

[DTCwordfan]

and the women had the Swiss Adonis to drool over....

[Barmaid]

"Swiss Adonis" Well hey, I missed that!!

Working for a living sucks.

[Buenchico]

>>> with lots of white pantied bottoms today

Maybe I should have been watching then ;-)

. . . bit isn't wiff-waff table tennis (as played by Boris), anyway?

[DTCwordfan]

not that much difference, involves a racket, a net and a ball.....

Great match for the fans who understand footie. Germany, as ever hard to break down. England, needing to be uncharacteristically patient. Wait for the chance and be clinical. How many times was that not "Us"? Now we do just that, the gainsayers see it as a negative trait. Great win, if you are an England supporter. Bitter swallow for the denigrators of England. Aav Eeet.

[ToraToraTora]

yeah gone a bit quiet in blue woad land.

On a night of football glory, here is a true football fan.

[10ClarionSt]

So far, I don't think I've been wrong about Englands' performances, ie, nothing outstanding, but it's the result that counts. I hope they keep winning and prove me wrong. Well done.

[Smowball]

Mr a smow thought the match was very unimpressing but as you say it’s the result that counts.

[William51]

Yes, England did us proud. We are one of the favourites for the title, but the team has to take every game as a one off and then win the final.

[Bazile]

These 'pundits ' on the TV makes me laugh .

It's a simple game , totally over analysed

[Ken4155]

William, we are actually clear favs to win @ around the 15/8 mark (2/1 with some firms). Spain next @ 3/1ish, followed by Italy (4s) and Belgium (7s).
Anyone thinking of lumping on at 15/8 may want to wait until the result of Friday's Italy v Belgium match is in. The winners of that will automatically become favs, maybe pushing England's price out a tad? Should England then win their QF, they will no doubt be re-installed as favs. That's how the bookies rock.
