Football Fan assemble, Euro 2020 the Italy v England Final ⚽

[DuncinToffee]

"The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football."

I think us English dont know how to process excitement properly.

Its either reserved or over the top.

Why let the fans go wild so early ?

I'm not sure there is a lot they can do to stop them. We are no where near London and we had a walk down the beach earlier and honestly judging by the pubs a lot of the 'fans' out drinking already will either be asleep or totally paralytic by the time the match starts.

And a lot of pubs will want it - they've a lot of revenue to catch up on. This is very welcome for them. Pity that the end result will be carnage.

God help us if we lose. I'm quite worried about that.

I'm just gonna leave this here. It makes my heart sing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽🦁🦄

BBC1 starts in 20 minutes, ITV in 30

Sky News is tracking the team bus

Is that a police escort?

I am worried about violence if they lose .
This makes me feel terrible for being a ' Brit ' :(
Still , it's creeping closer now..

@MrsJackGrealish

Is that a police escort?

Yes. They need to make it on time. It could be a terrorist target, or some pillock will just make a show of himself and end up getting run over.

Looks like it, they don't want to get stuck in traffic

I'm watching the Italian Job, it's on ITV. I feel it is an omen

I watched The Omen last night.
I think the scoreline might be 6-6-6

Love the Italian job ( not the remake )
' .. your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off. ' ! Classic

Yes the all day drinking build up didn't look good on the news. I will need wine soon though (but I won't be loutish)!

watching the reuters life stream - lots and lots of people in unusually close contact

Can I refer everyone to the current thread in Relationships: If England Get Beaten, So Will She - apologies, I can't link at the moment.

Just watching the videos on Twitter of Wembley…. ticketless ‘fans’ storming in .

DH & DS are there & I’m worried about them, will be anxious all evening.

Let's hope the security is tight.

Team has arrived at Wembley!

Arriving at the stadium...

goosebumps

Imagine an actual World Cup Final?

Right. Ultimate question.

Shall I keep my nice shiny new name or shall I go back to MrsGulDukat, the name I have been through this whole tournament?

Lovely. Thank you, OP.

Those tracksuits look like pyjamas

I'm just going to check in here from time to time to check on Italy's progress.
