I am and feeling quite sad about it. Anyone want to keep each other company while we watch?

That was just BRILLIANT!!!! Sterling is my absolute fave too, bless him. That penalty, just when you thought it was all over, just wowww. I'll also be back here for the final Grin

Gareth and Sterling LOVE

Lemonmelonsun · 07/07/2021 22:57

Thank goodness we were spared penalty

comeflywithpork · 07/07/2021 23:01

Loved this thread and sharing the nail biting moments! Hope to hear from you all Sunday!

IamaBluebird · 07/07/2021 23:03

I like Gareth Southgate , however there’s no way that was a penalty Grin

Lemonmelonsun · 07/07/2021 23:09

There is were two tackles that could have been a penalty, one wasn't clear and was taken, the others one was clear apparently and was ignored.

UEFA has charged England for disruption during the Danish national anthem and a laser being pointed at Schmeichel just before Kane's second half penalty. The booing during the singing of the Danish anthem was noticeable yet ITV's shit commentary team didn't even mention it.

Marking my place for later. If this thread is still live Football

Valenciaoranges · 11/07/2021 18:47

Me too - but very happy as I can flick between channels when I get bored 😐

Lemonmelonsun · 11/07/2021 18:49

Me too may as well be alone im surrounded by the glums

I'm surrounded by a squealer/mutterer! It's very irritating. I sort of want to get it over with, there's been such a build up and I'm a typical Brit (Englisher) who thinks we can't possibly win. It's just not in the psyche.

Hello everyone! I will be alone watching the game this evening. I felt a bit sad watching people go out to their friends but there are people worse off. At least I have alcohol. And snacks.

What’s everyone’s predication? I reckon 2-1 to Italy.

StarCourt · 11/07/2021 19:10

Yep watching alone. Butterflies

username18702 · 11/07/2021 19:11

I think England will win. 3:1 to England. Grin

aubreyii · 11/07/2021 19:13

I'm alone too. It'll be 3 one to Italy sadly is my prediction

Goawayquickly · 11/07/2021 19:14

3-1 to England. Sterling first goal.

aubreyii · 11/07/2021 19:23

It's a myth that men arent physical when happy - all that hugging and kissing, they know damn well how important physical contact is to shared experiences

Carrotinthesky · 11/07/2021 19:27

There are people in my house and I'm the only one who can't abide football. Can't bear listening to it at all. So I feel a bit lonely too. I'm the official drink getter and hot snack provider so will be busy though. They'll have to come in the kitchen to get stuff though. Not setting foot in that bloody noisy amphitheatre.

aubreyii · 11/07/2021 19:29

I so would with Gary

MoiraNotRuby · 11/07/2021 19:33

I've watched every match alone and tonight is no different... sober as I'm driving later to fetch DS from wherever he ends up... I'm equally nervous about England's chances as I am letting my PFB go round to his friends with 4 tins of beer!!! Oh to be 16 years old and watching the Euro finals with England in!!!

Lovely to have this thread.

Goldenbear · 11/07/2021 19:35

I'm pretty upset about it actually. Not on my own, have my 10 year old with me but I was meant to be going to a booked, planned thing with DH and DS and friends. My DH has sabotaged it really, had a huge angry rant at me about something really petty and I don't want to go.
