I’m sorry whirly, but I don’t want politics in this tournament. Historically, that has always turned into stupid shit.

Let’s just root for our team, ya bastard!

Fair enough, I just thing this is a top notch group of woke progressives led by a middle aged beardo like me!

True he is surpassing my previous woke hero, Gary Lineker!

He’s going to win England the Euros and end the pandemic. 🥲

The squad’s public opposition to injustice makes it difficult for the joy of Wembley to be exploited by elements in Westminster

Not that they aren't trying their hardest

Worse yet...

Same old story. Penalty choke!

Not giving Sancho and Rashford enough on field time to get warmed up before the shootout was a stupid move, too cautious, but never mind, we overachieved by reaching the final.

Not letting sterling or Shaw or walker take a penalty and rashford really should have buried his.

Agree with both.

Oh well. Maybe in another 55 years.

I honestly think this team is just starting out. They are still very young. I'm optimistic in the face of adversity.

Before the tournament, I said Italy would win it. At least I was right about something.

Your thread in the sports forum is the sole reason we lost.

The people of our proud nation will never forgive you, you will have to live in a holiday home in Wales and run the risk of Walshy setting fire to it.

Walshy lives in Bristol. Anyway, most people blamed it on the black players, but I think it was more because of their youth, if anything.
