I would just like to say: I'm Scottish and I'll be rooting for England tonight...

I hear you OP - I'm Irish and I hope England wins tonight too.

((ducks for cover))

Thanks OP (and others)!

Defo supporting England

FoundObject · 14/07/2024 18:24

Irish and am torn between thinking it's pretty unlikely England will win as Spain definitely have the edge, but also thinking that anything that gives a boost to the new Labour government is definitely better than the alternative.

On balance, go England. Win it for Keir and co.

Sosorryliver · 14/07/2024 18:26

Me too. I think most Scot’s will, the whole ancient grudge thing is banter for all but a tiny proportion of idiots.

sixtyandsomething · 14/07/2024 18:27

Thank you ❤💙💚

English here, and we always cheer for Scotland

Timeandtune · 14/07/2024 18:28

A weird thing happened last night (Saturday). About 9:30pm I remembered that the final was in progress (clearly our household has little interest in football 😂).
On my laptop, I clicked on the BBC website and found a link for the game. It showed England leading 1-0 with about 10 minutes to go.
About 15 minutes later I went back to it and refreshed - nothing there.
Tried on my phone. No update on the game either. I refreshed multiple times and was convinced my phone had frozen (it does sometimes).
I didn't see or hear any news bulletins until this morning, when I realised that the final hadn't been played yet!
Don't know what to make of it.
Just wanted to record this somewhere, in case that's how it turns out - you read it here first!

Doesn't look like it. Move along.

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy & everyone else supporting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 thank you!!

We will need all the good luck we can get. Spain have been playing well!!

As to those who won't be supporting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. I don't understand the mentality? It's like fighting cat & dog WITH your sibling but fighting FOR them against outsiders!
