England Tonight.

[10ClarionSt]

I can honestly say I'm stf with all this coverage. Look at it based on form.

Spain have won every game so far in this tournament, and against really strong teams.

England are unbeaten but unconvincing. On that basis, Spain have to be the strong favourites.

I want England to win but they need to improve greatly to beat Spain. I can't see it myself, based on what's happened so far.

And please cut all the gunge about "It's coming home". I don't think it is, but I hope I'm wrong.

So do you hate England then? 

I would happily cheer on Wales or Scotland if one of them was in the final against Spain. 

 

[teacher1]

Hate is not the word !  I just don't support them !

[curlyfries81]

But you said you hoped they didn't win. That's not the same as not supporting them.

Like I said, if Wales or Scotland were in the final I would cheer them on, but I don't "support them" ordinarily. 

[douglas9401]

I think one can care less without 'hate', a much overused word these days.

[teacher1]

I hope they don't win because I don't believe they deserve to be in the final.

[curlyfries81]

They make not have lit up the world stage earlier on in the tournament but there have been some stunning and brilliant moments by our young players and I believe they have earned their place at the final. An England win is long overdue in my opinion. 

C'mon the Three Lions !! 😍

[Old_Geezer]

I think all supporters could care less, but many couldn't care more.

[teacher1]

Of course an England win is long overdue ....... they just haven't been good enough even when given an easy ride in the qualifying groups and finals.

[10ClarionSt]

After watching lots of Real Madrids' games in the Champions League, they didn't deserve to be in the final either, but they gave their best performance and battered Dortmund in the final. I hope England can emulate that.

[Hazlinny]

If I were to rename the current England team, I'd call them "Jammie Dodgers" but will be rooting for them to win for UK.

England didn't reach the final via a golden buzzer, they made it there by beating off their opponents, whether through penalties or last-minute goals. 

England could have played the best football ever but they'd still get criticised and people would still hope for them to get beaten. 

I'll be rooting for them, right up to the final whistle.

Good for you curlyfries81 😉

“And please cut all the gunge about "It's coming home". I don't think it is, but I hope I'm wrong.”

I don’t think it is and I hope I’m right.

The hype and hysteria over this is astounding. Shops are closing early tonight and opening late tomorrow. The pubs are staying open until 1am (even though the match should be over by 10pm or thereabouts). There are calls for a Bank Holiday if England win. The “build up” has been going on since last Wednesday. Yesterday a British player lifted the Men’s Doubles Trophy at Wimbledon. Hardly a squeak about that on the telly. Instead we see footage of chavs in football shirts downing pints of lager in the street in Germany and chanting moronic messages.

If whatever “it” is “comes home” what has gone before will be but nothing. The fallout from it will be utterly insufferable. It won’t be worth buying a newspaper or watching or listening to the news for a fortnight.

Coming home? I’d much prefer it stayed exactly where it is.

Oops !!!

[Old_Geezer]

Can't win 'em all.

Decent attempt though, overall.

Probably because no-one gives a flying chuff about who wins the men's doubles at Wimbledon these days.
