I don’t usually follow it, however did tonight, simply because I put a £10 bet on England, I won £25. So that’s cool

It’s coming home :england: :soccer::trophy:

Coz I have 'em in the works sweepstakes, so it has to :pound: :pound: :pound:

Bastard thing is - We’re in the air without Starlink/WiFi for the whole final and won’t know the result until we land unless the aircrew announce it (not unknown) mid-flight…

Then again, 2 weeks all-inclusive in the sun, so every ‘cloud’…

PS> Southgate is still wearing the same light cream zip-neck polo top.

I agree.

However.

I am satisfied that it wasn’t a flippant decision made. The incident happened, and the referee watched in on VAR, awarded a penalty and also a yellow card, so while I did say “not a penalty” it also wasn’t a situation where an obvious thing was just flippantly missed by the referee. There was time for them to consider and in their professional opinion it was a penalty. I’m in no way in a position to argue with their experience, unless some of us here are professional international referees.

I haven’t followed football since around 2004 but I’m going to say Spain. :joy:

So, I evidently don’t bet a lot, how do I figure out who is the “home” team and who is the “away” team? Considering it is held in Germany, there is no “home” team

Should be clear that I understand the concept of a home and away team, if it was hosted in England, then the home team would be England, I think

75

Spain are the” home“ team. The teams are always listed “home” then “away.”

Quite a boring first half.

Still feeling a bit Spanish today mind you. I have been to Spain more times than I have been to England so it only makes sense. I go to England for work and work makes me sad. I go to Spain for sun, relaxation and all inclusive fun. So Spain it is for me tonight. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::ceuta_and_melilla::ceuta_and_melilla::ceuta_and_melilla:
