Football is coming home, Euro 2024 Final, England v Spain(Sunday 8pm)

[GrandOldTeam]

I'll have you know that I've been here (gently) having a go since after Germany got their lucky 5 - 1 win against the greatest footballing nation on earth

It's not personal

If England win then the rest of the UK won't stop hearing about it for 20 years as 99% of the "UK media" is based in England

If Wales won it they'd be lucky to get the headlines on the day of the win

Come off it.

Not wounded. Just don't get it.

History a big part isn’t it mate ,likes of ireland etc will always want England to lose no matter what and you can’t really blame them, it’s all a one way rivalry which winds my Irish relatives up even more haha

This is just a made up lie.

I have been waiting since 1968 to have the name “Crystal Palace” on a major trophy. When @Eggs , when?

…ha, ha. When you see something happening to Palace like Man Utd in last years FA Cup, you think it just might be your turn.

I understand that history is what it is but we need to move on. I don't hate Germany despite what they did. Far too much hate in this world.

Well, there is no 'Year of the Eagle' on the Chinese zodiac calendar mate.

The closest you can get is the 'Year of the Rooster', which will be in 2029.

So either you or Spuds.
Make of that what you will mate.

I think this is why I actually don't like England.

Everybody hates us etc, I mean not really, I would say other than the home nations nobody else has any real strong opinions on England.

I really don't see who could be arsed about England outside of England and the home nations, let alone hate.

We've been OK but not really competitive for so long that we're just head pattees. The fans aren't so terrible nowadays and the players seem likeable enough. So much meh.

i have a £30 bet with a cousin

i’ve said 2-0 spain

he says 1-0 england

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Of course the irony is ,all the Scots will go back to supporting the rs, man u ,citeh, the ars, leeds ,spuds and us after tonight..which I can't understand,the hatred that is.

If the England of the first 45 mins against Holland turn up we have a chance, anything like the rest of the tournament, we don’t. In saying that, if city can beat United in the cup final, then surely it wouldn’t be more of a surprise if we beat Spain.

 

[coollino]

I'm up for England winning, and people getting so drunk throughout the day then they pretend they remember it when they actually dont

 

[Jimishorts]

think we win this by a single goal

Declan Rice please.

Would make it financially satisfactory.

 

[DuncanPatterson]

This is just a made up lie.

Nah, more just an over-exaggeration for effect

Anyway I'm far from the most anti-English person around

I don't dislike anyone based purely on where they come from

I usually wait for them to be an arse first

Sometimes you don't have to wait very long

 

[DuncanPatterson]

Come off it.

I googled it

It seems to be a wee shop that sells Wales merch?
