It's coming home? VOTE

I wish I could have bottled that feeling of 1996 when the whole country went football mad, every other car and house on the road had flags and we were all sure it was coming home.

So do we think it's coming home?

Some predictions:

Someone will comment that it's past that 16 year old Spanish player's bedtime

England will have a goal disallowed due to offside

Now that we're good at penalties, it will not go to penalties

Jordan Pickford will be cross that he's expected to do his job

What do you reckon?

I knew scotland weren't getting out of the group stages. Was still good to see them there though.

Isn't this thread about England?
Scottish fans knew it wasn't coming home.

Ah well! 2026 isn't too far away! Anyone know if Prosecco keeps that long?!

I don't think we embarrassed ourselves.

You don't?

No? Spain were the best team but they only beat us 2-1? It's not like we were thrashed.

None of the England games were convincing or interesting and it was the easiest path through. Spain got the same score against Germany in the previous round, did they not?

I'm a fan of the game, but It’s a ball. Fucking share it really made me laugh!!

Me too 😅

I'm not convinced as many people would watch communist sport.

My husband is Spanish. He’s chuffed to bits. He’ll be on the couch if he keeps on..

That was in response to someone saying it. I thought I had quoted them sorry.

Spain were still the better team.

That's not why you wanted them to win though. So stop pretending it is.

I have congratulated him stiffly and shaken hands 😌

At the start of the tournament I stated that my teams were: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪🇪🇦
Of course I'm happy one of those won!

I feel like England had good players but just weren't cohesive as a team. Germany, Switzerland, Spain all actually played better than England a lot of the time tbh. There's always next time. 👍

Not really sure I want there to be a ‘next time’ tbh, it’ll be the same again

Enjoy watching England lose?

Oblomov24 · 14/07/2024 22:59

England were so bad that they didn't deserve to win the final tonight.
Shame. Sad

Don't folk still enjoy watching the whole tournament? It's not just about winning.
As a Scot we never expect to win, hence me adopting other teams to support.
Maybe the problem is that England expect too much instead of enjoying it?
There's the women's footie too - I really enjoyed the Germany v England ladies final and the England ladies deserved their win.

Shoutout to the dozens of MNetters voting on the poll AFTER the final whistle, confident in their vote!
