Competition European Championships 2024 ⚽ 🏆 ⚽

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It clearly doesn't. People here are BUZZING at having made the final when, like England, they weren't favourites to do so.

The vast, VAST majority of them aren't swivel-eyed Vox Francoist racists, they're normal people who want to see their country do well, and take it on the chin and move on when they don't.

All my friends are excited, they didn't expect this and of course they want Spain to win when people were talking down their chances before. A whole lot of these people are not those I would call "football people" but just ordinary folks who get caught up in a tournament and enjoy it. It's great.

It happened with the Women's Football FA Cup final, it happened/happens when Nadal or Alcaraz reaches a tennis final, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it - quite the contrary, its coming together and enjoying a moment together in difficult times.

The same in Scotland and Georgia and Poland and Turkey and everywhere. Then life goes back to normal and you all love those who did well and feel for those who didn't.

Only one team can win any competition but if you aren't lucky enough to support that team, well, so it goes as Kurt Vonnegut would say. It has no bearing on your support for your team or country and if it does, you're no friend of mine in any sense.
I like Kurt Vonnegut
 
That is a great goal to win the game..

But, feck me.. Southgate is lucky..

This is everything wrong with media driven stats………

Only 1 dribble,
Only 1 tackle
the crossing stat is crazy, he over hit his only cross (first half) but because it was collected near the edge 18yrd box (that’s how over hit it was) by an England player they giving it as successfu!!
what chance? Genuinely can’t think of what it was
3 dwells won but 2 lost

And yet the comments section lapping it up as a masterclass!
 
De vrijj is ancient. Baffling to me. Vdv brings pace to that defence and not saying he would of done anything with Watkins but he would of been there to stop him at least

De Vrij is 32. That's not old for a centre back, and its definitely not anything approaching ancient.

Nobody did anything wrong for the goal. No centre back does anything different. He works him out to a very low percentage area and doesn't commit. The chances of Watkins scoring from that position and angle are very low .. it's just a brilliant, brilliant finish.
 
England must be favourites for this now. Spain have some exciting players, but on paper have nothing like the English resources

Who even are Spain anyway??

Don’t know who their manager is if I’m honest.
Or their goalkeeper.
I know their centre forward was pony for Chelsea.
They have to play a child at RW. Shocking state of affairs. Call Esther Rantzen.

Might as well write our name on the trophy now and save some time Sunday night.
