Duck Egg Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'm really looking forward to it tonight but I do wonder where all the optimism is coming from that I'm seeing on social media. We're England. We always feck it up. They're Italy. Their record in tournaments and against us is damn convincing. I just can't see us winning, not this time anyway. Hope to God I'm wrong. I am aren't I?

I am aren't I? Yes, you’re wrong - it’s coming home. England win on pens after a 1-1 draw, Pickford saves Jorginios ridiculously audacious penalty attempt. Cue nationwide bedlam.

We’ve been given the morning off by the company which was a nice gesture. But I won’t be drinking tonight after going out for a pint at 1pm yesterday and c15pints later getting home 🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aren't I? There's a lot of folk jumping on the bandwagon who don't understand football supporting and can't handle the feelings if we loose... we all shrug our shoulders, do a bit of whinging and look forward to the next one. We know Italy will interrupt our play rolling around on the grass for the first 20mins or so keeping a clean sheet to silence the home crowd then start building and will probably have the measure of the game by half time. I'm expecting a tight game, not the seeing off of Johnny Foreigner the unwashed masses are shouting out for. But what do I know? It's a footie match at the end of the day. In the words of DF... No Mugs This Lot 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially at home. Dead right. Italians have been very good, but the suggestion that optimism is unfounded is ridiculous. Didn't have a good record against the Germans but that's been put to rights. Folk have every reason to believe in the team and note national positivity won't go amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted July 11, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2021 I’m set for a defeat. Which Will make a victory so much sweeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'm expecting a very tough match, however the Italians were less than stellar against Spain and Austria. They still got through, mind, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I've been expecting an England defeat in every game so far in the euros so I'm sticking with that if for no other reason than superstition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted July 11, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 11, 2021 starting to get nervy thinking about it we have, I'd say, the better players (on paper) but, Mancini has the experience and has a track record/experience in winning things, which will count for something, and they're on this long unbeaten run going to be tight as fuck 50/50 for me right now got to exploit their aging defence best we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic1 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Well, it's been a bit wild here for a few hours, trains into town were rammed, random folk singing in the streets, lots of cars honking, chanting around the place already. All nice and jolly at the moment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emus wig Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I am a natural pessimist especially when it comes to the Wanderers but I think we’ll win Sterling to tear em a new one 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 11, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2021 It’s starting to get to me. I need to start building my caps up ready for Germany in 3 years time. Andorra in Oct is looking tempting. Whoever scores 1st wins. These will have dark arts down to precision by kick off. We need to keep our heads. For me, Sterling & Saka need to drop 10 yards then run at the 2 centre halves, draw fouls and let Kane drift wide early on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, just had a look at those idiots trying to break in. Crushing each other ffs. Seems they didn't get into the stadium itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Reckon lad from work who is down there was getting a bit dramatic with his messaging, footage doesn't look great but you'd think they'd have expected it and planned accordingly.

SirNatsDog Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I’ve every confidence in Gareth but I’m a bit disappointed with this team. Would have preferred to have continued with Saka or Sancho out wide rather than another defender in Trippier but in Gareth we trust I suppose. COYE.
