8pm really is a shit kick off time for this final. Saying that, it'll definitely add to the atmosphere in the stadium as most people will be arseholed. Has been around this sort of time for as long as I can remember tbf. Not sure it's ever been seen as an issue before? Wonder why🤔👀

Just put the telly on and the whole screen was purple, no sound no picture. Turned it of and on again, got a tiny picture in the top right hand corner, no sound. Tried again and got a full picture and sound. Leaving it on till it's all over now.
Nerves are like violin strings without this.

People from upt north couldn’t afford it 😊 True, a coach-and-four was expensive to hire in them days. Plus, with having to stop and change the horses about every 20 miles, it took a day or two to get to London I remember a school trip to London from Ellison Street Junior School in the early 60s. We went by special day outing train* from Longport and toured London on buses visiting St.Paul's. *There used to lots of special day outing trains in those days to places like Blackpool. Some were mystery tours where you didn't know where you were going. Queen's Diamond Jubilee next year. I remember going on a trip from Church Street Primary School, Chesterton to the cinema in '53 to see the Coronation in colour at the "pictures" in 'Castle. We watched it live on TV on my uncle's 9 inch brown screen TV.

Not sure it's the fault of the organisers for having the final at the same time it's always played at every four years.

Has been around this sort of time for as long as I can remember tbf. Not sure it's ever been seen as an issue before? Well I was hardly making an issue out of it. I personally would prefer it earlier. If it means longer in the pub, then that's the sacrifice I'm willing to take.

With it being on a Sunday, and a lot of people having to go to work the next day; surely an earlier KO time, say 5 or 6pm, would have suited everyone better.

Not remotely mate, this is a free hit as far as I'm concerned. I keep seeing this '8pm is a daft kick off time' thing though and I don't get it. The rest of the continent has seemed to cope with that fine over the last 30-40 years at least that it's been played at that time.

I'm pissed off about the fact I'm on earlys tomorrow to be fair, and can't really go out and have a good drink, so would have preferred ot to be on a Saturday night, but like you say, it is what it is Enjoy the game Toxic and Come on England

Looks like 532 Cautious Pace on later Can’t believe he’s dropped Saka. Surely he could play WB but offers more going forwards. At least we have the bench to fall back on. He’s got most things right so far so hard to criticise though.

Same here matey,didn't expect us to get to the Final,we've broken the semi-final hoodoo and beaten the Germans on the way,all good. Obviously hope we are victorious(and I think we will be)but whatever happens it has been a massive lift to the country. Enjoy fellow Stokies and GGGOOAAAARRRNNNN England.

It really could go any way, it's hard to call. Any possible outcome, 90 mins, ET or pennos. Highly doubt a final will be a walk in the park for either team. Got to say though, I don't fancy us on pennos need to get it done by the end of ET
Italy are a good side I've fancied them to win from the beginning following their first couple of games
