Just seen the Metro's front page today: "England dive into the final". Fucking pathetic.

I can boast that I’ve watched two England teams in a final of a major competition.

My lad is 10. He was born 10 days before 2011 FA Cup final. So he's had - 5 Prems, 2 FA Cups, 6 League Cups, A UCL Final, England SF World Cup and now this.

It's not fucking on.

(i know this isn't media related...apologies)

Thinking about it seems a good part of the media although delighted England got into the final where preparing to and hoping to stick the knife in if Denmark had won,the whole attitude towards Sterling is disgusting,yes it was extremely soft but strange how he’s deemed to have dived yet mbappe was fouled against Portugal when it was clear to everyone bar the media that he dived or threw himself to the ground..

I am going to be terribly honest here: I’ve been very half hearted about this competition, concentrating more on the matches that City players were involved than who won or lost! Plus I wanted Belgium to win if it wasn’t England because of KDB! I know, I know I’m weird! :-)

However now I’m getting excited. I saw England play the last time, with Gordon Banks, Jack Charlton, Nobby Stiles who was my hero (told you I was weird) Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst et al so now I can boast that I’ve watched two England teams in a final of a major competition. This time I know even more about the players due to the (intrusive) press and social media. Plus I have the added bonus of not having 3 children under 5 years old wanting me to play with them instead of watching TV! :-)

No Alan Ball ? He won the World Cup you know ;-)

He was included in the et al… he wasn’t one of my favourites but he was ok! ;-)
I guess I should have included him because of his City link but….. *pulls a frowny face* nah.. sorry.

Beginning to wish someone else got that penalty for us, you know, someone who would have "won the penalty" with his driving runs into the box terrifying Denmarks defenders into making Rash challenges.

As it is, Sterling will be the one having his confidence challenged by the whingers, racists, opposing fans, bitter pundits and vile media, all desperate for it to go wrong for him and probably England.

I hope we win it easily on sunday with a great display.

Italy will be just as clever during the final. The Russian Linesman should never be forgotten when talking about the 1966 World Cup Final. The equivalent this time is VAR and Goal-line technology

Tbf, Ball, along with Beckenbauer, looked several levels above everyone else technically

Totally agree with you. I stated earlier it was great for non City English fans. Won the game and a chance to whine about Raheem. If not him it would have been Stones,Walker or Foden.

Still waiting for f**king VAR to get it right, now that linesman knew it was a goal ;-)
