Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

It’s a game of football, somehow you are turning it into a party political competition. Anyway we’ve only got to the final because of Brexit…….
It’s all very valid to be honest.
The nationalism and right wing agenda that Johnson and Cummings allowed to come to the fore is possibly only going to get worse now that this has happened.

I would really like to enjoy England getting to a final in my lifetime, just a shame it happened when these scumbags are in power as it potentially fans the flames of the flag shaggers.
 
Not too much talk about Denmark here (obviously), but if I was one of their fans I would have been thoroughly embarassed by their approach last night. One of the most shameful displays of anti football I've seen in a very very long time.
 

In a KO tournament, the home advantage can be rather tense and counterproductive if things don't go according to plan as in the first half yesterday. Once they quiet the fans down the silence can be lethal. Host nations lose tournaments all the time, and it didn't do Brazil any favors!
Its slightly different.

In normal circumstances you have a host nation and you have the other nations fans in attendance from all over the globe.

The situation right now is largely partisan as most of the fans in attendance will be from England (or any of the other nations who have hosted games) with a couple of fans of the other teams who were lucky enough to be in the country already or could travel from an eligible place.

Not much can be done about that of course but it is a bit different.

Thought they were very decent until they made that triple substitution.
 

if by 'matched' you mean successfully stuck 10 men behind the ball and didnt emerge from their own half after they scored, then yes they matched us.

Well they are not as good a team as England. They obviously had some issues with fitness too.

Not a fan of football snobbery really. Teams play within their means. It's what makes it a sport.
