I paid £45 for the group games, £60 for the round of 16 and the semi final and £81 for the final, each game I got 2 tickets (BOGOF) Being in a wheelchair has some benefits (I'd rather have the use of my legs back)

How was your experience of the final?

Hearing stories on the media of folk not being able to get into their seats because of interlopers etc.

Hope everything was OK for you.

It was hard work, loads of lads crowded behind us, pissed and banging into folk, stewards were terrified, bloke in the next bay to me has MND and one started abusing him, after the game it was terrible the streets, broken glass everywhere and gangs of youths spoiling for a fight

What a disgrace.

A return to national service may be in order. Country is feral.

Depressing read this. Glad you're okay anyway, must have some cracking memories from the tournament.

Reading earlier that a bunch of IT geeks have been working overnight to identify those racially abusing players online. Basically been asking folk to screenshot comments and profiles and send them to them. Out of the 6000 plus emailed, 1109 were identifiable and 158 had already been identified. Christ, if this is what a bunch of amateurs fuelled on coffee can do then imagine what the riches of Twitter and Facebook could pay for?

Read there was only 4 who had racially abused on line and two have been identified; both claim their account was hacked but can’t believe that. One was a Wolves fan living in Worcestershire who is 50

 

looked again there was thousands; most removed by Twitter

I know, we were all a bit peed off after the game Dim  but I think you missed the satire in my “Southgate out” comment. I think he’s done a terrific job so far and hopefully he’ll go that one better next year in Dubai? The pens were naff but which one of us would have the bottle to walk out there in front of that crowd and millions on TV, with the hopes of the nation on your one kick?

they probably aren't even English, no such problems here

anyway

had a look at the odds for Qatar

Brazil @ 11/2
France @ 6/1
England @ 9/1
Belgium @ 10/1
Spain @ 10/1
Italy @ 10/1
Germany @ 12/1
Argentina @ 12/1
Portugal @ 14/1
Holland @ 16/1

we still have lots to do if we're to beat the best and win it, and I get France being favourites, but not Brazil - there line up in the Copa America had some average looking players in there like Richarlison, Soares and Fred
