Haha - this aged well 😜

No no, the point stands! He needs to change it earlier. We did win, yes, but a manager should maximise our chances of winning, and he didn’t do that by letting it be stale till 80th minute

You better hope Louis Tomlinson is there doing his Glasto set up 😂

FUCK ME WE ARE IN THE FINAL. England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look forward to chatting about it with you all Sunday, not hijacking or starting a TAAT, I have posted elsewhere, but I am going through a very horrible separation right now and have no one else at the moment to chat about the football with, so this thread that has cheered me up a lot tonight 😊

The greatest trick Gareth Southgate ever pulled was getting England to play so badly during the group stages that there wasn’t a feelgood bounce until after the election

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the boys can do a little something to make you smile on Sunday 💐

It would be amazing to have something to bring our country together post election.

More fun this way 🤣 good on Ollie though! 20 mins in the whole comp played and he scores the goal to get to the final

Southgate has to go down as the greatest England manager

Two major tournament finals; one semi; one quarterfinal

Not bad.

Are you saying you think he delayed the subs to avoid us scoring earlier in the game?

Maybe. Going ahead would put a lot of pressure on us.

From the previous form the opposition must have thought extra time and penalties were where we thought we were heading and would then adapt their game to match that.

Would we have been able to hold on to a win if we had scored at 60?

Who knows (I don't, I'm just musing, you might be right)

inigomontoyahwillcox · 10/07/2024 22:34

Am at the in law's place in Spain at the moment. Not one for seeking out the "Brits abroad" areas usually but might have to on Sunday.

The King said it, so is it treason if England do the opposite?

It was like watching a different team tonight!

That first half was great.

SpikeyDee · 10/07/2024 22:38

can someone please make Ollie Watkins a better chant now. I’m a villa fan and that’s honestly the worst chant we have.

Kayrel · 10/07/2024 22:39

Best I’ve seen Foden play for England. Unlucky for Saka and Foden. We have a chance. Positive vibes only!

cheesychipsontheoche · 10/07/2024 22:43

Just been searching flights to Berlin.

Unfortunately the youngest is performing in a show on Sunday and would never forgive me if I missed it.

Would love to be out there though. Berlin was amazing earlier in the tournament

BirthdayRainbow · 10/07/2024 22:44

I will be washing my T-shirt first thing tomorrow.

Thank you Your Majesty. Brilliant.

If football is your thing, we are here all year.
We cover it all, women's and mens, Premier League and Bundesliga, WSL and Scottish Premiership and most things in-between.

Great escapism - and just in case you don't have a PL team I suggest following The Mighty Saints. Following them puts to the pale any other pain 😆

As our new season thread says

“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”

See you Sunday.

AndSakaDancing · 10/07/2024 22:53

I love that from the King.

Now to plan where to watch it, and how to get Monday off work... Can Kings order bank holidays?

It really is!! Lifelong Arsenal fan here from a small child, since Wenger took over from George Graham (yes, I’ll always admire Wenger!) Love the lower leagues of EFL too and follow/have a soft spot for a few other teams.

I love the saying about life and death… I agree 😁😁

tobee · 10/07/2024 23:03

Keep thinking about all those tournaments when we had the Beckhams and the Terrys and the Lampards etc. So much expectation with "world class players" and we never got anywhere. It's like Southgate has done magic! ✨🪄
