Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

[Bohemian Toffee]

So apparently cheating to win a penalty is now ok because it’s “our turn for a bit of luck”

I am beginning to hate the game

Totally agree with this, watched the final few minutes after the penalty thinking how little I cared if England saw it out because of that dive.

Lol they won the bid to host the semis, final and group stage. If you want to question anything it should be the Germany game which was originally slated for Dublin. Personally I don’t know why Wembley got it after Dublin withdrew

lol lol lol

I do. Because the lobbied for it.

There's no way of avoiding this: England have had an unfair advantage over all other nations in this tournament.

Full stop.

You fell at the first fence: England are NOT the host country. Please disabuse yourself of that notion.

London was one of 12 host cities for Euro2020. THAT IS ALL. Their path forward was cleared for them.

And they took advantage. Whats the issue? Games had to be played somewhere. I seem to recall you saying they would fold when they played in Rome. And against Germany.

They are a really good, and very likeable, team, bringing some much needed joy to millions.

But they played most games in London. No one else cares mate.

No one else in this country might care. Of course they dont. They got the advantage.

In one match. Otherwise no more advantage than a host nation. England are effectively the host of this tournament

The thing about this that annoys me is they paint Richarlison to be a diving maniac who goes down at every chance but when it's England related "haha who cares!" "I'll take it anyway!"

What advantage?

Playing at Wembley for 6 out of 7 games.

When did this likeable thing take off?

I read it about Leeds as well, a likeable team?

I don't even like the team I support, especially teams that I am told are likeable.

After that dive to knock them out I felt bad for the Danes, I would now like Italy to win the final.

Does that make Italy likeable as well?

So they have won every single game they have ever played there then?

Euro 96 changed that. It always used to be union jacks at England matches until that tournament.

That looks like a pic from Italy 90.

Quite possibly it was.
Here's one from last night though, it seems England fans do actually still bring union jacks

Cos they seem likeable?

How is that at all relevant?

Is it preferable to play all but one of your games at home or half them?
