Football

v glad to see Spain reap the rewards of playing some positive football, pretty tense in the last 15 as they looked a bit shot of energy. France getting this far to score their first goal from open play is jokes, glad they didn’t get the chance to stink the place up further, and nice to see the cuntiest ego left in the tournament get shat out on the sidelines.

Hope Morata hasn’t been too badly injured by whoever that random was who took him down after the final whistle.

Re: Morata. My reading was that it was a security guard trying to help intercept some idiot trying to take a selfie with the team.

Lisa Nandy on a fact-find?

Lamine Yamal is just outrageous. How to guide and nurture a 16 year old with such ability and vision isn’t going to be easy.

Not even a contest. If there’s any justice in football we should get a Spain vs Netherlands final and it better be a more entertaining game than 2010.

Haha, zero bias there whatsover. 🇪🇸♥️🇳🇱

🙏🏾 Morata heal the fcuk up 🙏🏾

to play, to win, to lift the trophy..

Also I’m interested to know what Adrien Rabiot has left to say..

Controversial opinion...Olmo's goal was better than Yamal's.

Messi rates Yamal: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7206gj5w28o

Have the Spanish press named and shamed the interloper who caused the Morata injury yet?

Euro '96 England vs Netherlands in its entirety on BBC sport website.

Watched it again after Venables passed and I'm not sure it's quite as good as it's often remembered.

Southgate said this week that he watched it recently and it wasn't all that.

Probably agree, to have the quickness of mind and technique to shoot is mightily impressive. Yamal's is incredible, if very well rehearsed.

I had a ticket to the game. I was at the opening game/ceremony, England v Switzerland. A day before the Holland game, i was playing football myself and tore the ligaments in my knee, which ballooned up and filled up with blood. I was in absolute agony and could barely get around even on crutches, so gave to ticket to the dad of the mate I was going with. So gutted to have missed that game.

i was playing football myself

rookie mistake 😀

Vivid memories of laying in bed with pleurisy, watching the Euro '96 England vs Netherlands match.

So fucking ill.

Predictions? I'm going with 2-1 Netherlands

1-1 and England lose on penalties.

3-0 England.

I'm saying 3-2 Netherlands. I just think our defence is soft, and they have great attacking threats in Gakpo and Depay.

Dutch midfield isn’t up to it, all things equal. Narrow England win. For Graham Taylor.

Lose to a late goal

Anything watchable, not playing for penalties.

Cheating twats falling over getting free kicks already.

Am I bitter? Who could say
