Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[blueparrot]

'Remainer alert'...

If you're really honest when you say: 'always been club first and last', why pick Manchester City, why not Real Madrid or Boca Juniors?

Just get behind England for fucks sake, its bloody brilliant that we are even in the final and its in England too.

Remain where ?
Think most of us over the years have always been club first England second. Its not something you can switch on and off you either feel it or you don’t. I’d like a win but have no nerves at all, nothing like a City game.

Imagine being embarrassed by pride, excitement and something bringing the whole nation together? Well, most of the nation anyway.

But being embarassed like that is typically English. Don't know why, but even mild national pride makes us uncomfortable.

Hope to fuck there is no trouble tonight. Some of the scenes on social media are worrying.

Southgate's trying to out Mancini Mancini with those 3 defensive midfielders and defenders as wingbacks.

Long night ahead of us. Foden to win it in extra time pls.

He isn't even on the bench pal

Have to put myself in the not to bothered about international football. Just hope our players play well and aren’t at fault for losing. Gutted for Phil being injured.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

No he is an attacking player so doesnt get picked ;)

LOLOLOL

 

[pluto]

Negative team wins against a poor German team, not so sure with the Italy team

 

[give it to gordon]

Oh isnt he lol I didnt check lol

Makes me laugh all the negative noise I have seen from blues, regarding England, over the last few weeks. 25\30 years ago, we were all ecstatic if White or Curle got a call up to the squad. Now with 3 City players about to start in a major final for England, it's just diatribe from Blues. It's remarkable how the noise permeating from blues on here, is the same shit that came out of rag fans mouths, when they were winning everything.

Not surprised by the line up or set up. No point moaning about it. First time I’ve seen England in a final. Regardless of what I think about waistcoat and his ‘tactics’, I can only wish them well.

Although, it’s a conundrum, as I’m happy Mancini made it as well. So happy for him. Hopefully, it’s a good spectacle. No clue on the commentators but I hope I don’t have to mute this game.

Clocked that thanks to the poster just above me.

BBC site says:

"Trippier starts for England, Saka on bench - injured Foden not in squad"

......but doesn't have any more details.

I don't get your point?

Plenty of City fans who don't come from Manchester or even this country.

I'm a City fan because I know no different, I was indoctrinated into it.

I'm not a fan of international football, so don't invest in it, irrespective whether it be England or not.

For the record, I didn't pick Manchester City, Manchester City picked me.

I apologise, I'm 'newish' here and I was a bit rude to you earlier. I'm just a bit giddy about the whole thing and I can't understand why not everyone is feeling as I do and getting behind England.

Nothing will top May 2012 for me, ever - but this tonight, could come close, especially if Sterling scores the winner!

Regarding: 'I didn't pick Manchester City, Manchester City picked me.' I suppose I'm similar - my Uncle was a City fan and he bought me a City shirt for my 4th birthday & I'm just grateful he wasn't a Utd. fan. Well now I am, in the 90's and noughties, not so much!

It’s a foot injury, been reported the last 24 hours.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Probably, but then we're overly reliant on sterling. We've got a back 8 to stop them playing.the mount position should be prioritising attacking.

We still have to defend as a team without the ball mate. Mount can’t just stand in space hoping Jorginho fucks up with all the time in the world. He has to shut him down. And if he does so, he’ll get more opportunities to do that attacking that you want from him.

Seeing as Phil missed last training session he was never going to make the matchday squad an easy leave out for Southgate

 

[KS55]

The best solution is to turn the box on at 7.55pm , anyway all the bullshit spouted is only distracting me from having a proper drink.

Yup. I won't watch a second before then. Just enjoying a cocktail or two.

 

[colorado blue]

Is foden injured ?

Picked up a minor knock and didn’t train yesterday. He must be gutted

Phil has fucked off home and rang Pep to see if he can play for Spain.


:)


On a serious note. He's got plenty of tournaments left in him.

Win or lose it'll kick off all over the place,the knobheads have been on the pop all day

Three City players, one City youth player, and one potential future City signing (and an ex-City goalkeeper as keeper coach!) all starting for England in a major tournament.

What a time to be a City fan and an Englishman.

This could be a once in a lifetime night!


COME ON ENGLAND!
