Does anyone care any more ?
The UK public whether they like it or not have been bombarded with nationalistic football punditry and overhype as England look to win something since the year dot.
I am a self- confessed sports nut and I’m looking forward to seeing Arry Kane lift the Euro 20 trophy but even I’m fed up with all the football fever which has taken over England. Come on, I know the English have been locked down like the rest of us but maybe, just maybe the hype will wind down very soon.
Is this all a knee-jerk reaction to being locked down for the past 18 months ? Maybe but I think not. The feel good factor is amazing I’m sure but I think we would have seen the same reaction in Covidless times also.It’s been a bit like a Royal wedding or a general election where nothing else matters. Are the English so desperate they need to overdose on something to give them a high ?
I hope England win but come on, it’s only a flipping game after all….

I hope they win, and then again I hope they don't. I hope they win because they represent good values that should be rewarded. And I hope they don't because it will reinforce England's belief in their exceptionalism.

... England's belief in their exceptionalism. In spite of all evidence to the contrary! But I hope they win, too. |

If they don't win there will be a lot of unhappy people.
It's been politicalasized that's how DB said it's spelt 😄 not sure how they could have just kept it about football.
I was reading about Danish kids that were getting spat at after the last game.
No idea why some football supporters have to be so bad. It's not unique or something recent it's gone on for a long time.
Anyway just hope it's a good game and the best team win.
Both sides want to win.
My last sentence must rate as the dumbest sentence ever. 😃

For Southgate and the players I hope England win but I'm 'club first, country second' so not that bothered if they lose.

Yes Tim, I’m very much club first and would rather see my team win the Prem or FA Cup overEngland winning anything. Good luck to both this evening who have proved to be the best teams in the comp, come on 🏴, hope it’s an entertaining game though I think the most important person on the pitch will be the ref. |

I very much hope that England wins, despite the booing and other nasty behaviour. The team seem to be a credit to their manager and the country.
Is the way it’s gone OTT in England very different to how things are in Italy or how it would be in France - if their team had managed to win through to the final?

Like so many of you I hope they win but wont be sad if they lose, we will not be watching the game, we are putting on a black and white film called "The Train" starring Burt Lancaster. With all this football and tennis, I'am glad in this modern age we do have a vast choice of alternative channels.

There may be some decent films on TV tonight so I shall watch one of those, after having seen the second Pyrenees stage of the tour; just hope that Cavendish manages to get to the finish in the time limit.

Both the TdF and the Euros final for me.

Any predictions?
I'll go for 2-1 England as payback for all the £££'s I spent following them in the 80's and 90's.
