LOL You couldn't make this stuff up

Euros hosts' press say the Three Lions 'cheated' their way to the final

The only thing England have done is take advantage of decisions made by a GERMAN referee and VAR.

They probably don't like the Spanish either. They presented a 30,000 signature to UEFA trying to get their quarter final replayed :laugh:

Good God does Lineker pi$$ me off - can't stand the pr!ck. So much for the pre-match, will tune in again "After 8" (seems to ring a bell).

I tried the pre-match build up with VPN. BBC was a complete non-starter, and ITV was just a little better. We're on PPTV now - too important to take chances.

2/10 for a closing ceremony. In fact the word crap comes to mind. The football can only be an improvement.

Don't the Spaniards know the words to their national anthem, or has nobody written the words yet?

Seems like turning on 1 minute ago was a wise decision - come on England

Even as a Welshman, I shall be supporting (if not shouting for) England..... Then if only for them to stop harping on about '66 :neener: :duck: :wink:

I didn't think I'd ever say this about an England team, but we've parked the bus :cuss:

They were only practice games - maybe they were Southgate's preparation for the final.

I think the difference is today parking the bus was deliberate, we actually started with that intention. In the group games it was forced upon us.
