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. Fair enough mate. 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 I’m on the CET time zone and it is a bit shit. I’ve got two littluns and I’d have liked them to be able to watch it but possible 1130 bed time is too much with school the next day. I know late Sunday kick offs are normal in many parts of Europe but I do think it’s a bit shit. Same would apply for finals without England in them.

Gone to stifle the Italian formation it seems. Brave line up but plenty in reserve . I like Trippier, real good player. set pieces could settle it. Said pens yesterday but think England nick it 2-1. seeing Benny Hill as Prof Peach pushing the fat woman onto the bus swayed me.

Understandable but I fear it’s a mistake trust the manager, not let us down yet True, I do trust him. I think he will try and do what the Danes did to us, pack the midfield and hit them on the break. I’d rather have Saka running at their defence than Trippier but I’m sure we will see that later in the game. It’s probably going to be a low scoring game, and I can’t see Italy not scoring, which is why I’d be positive about it

There was a right numpty in the CO-OP last night saying to another guy he shouldn’t be buying Italian beer, it was San Miguel... Doing my bit tonight to cripple the Italian financial market by drinking the wifes Kopparberg first and saving the staroforamen for KO

What the fuck is wrong with people in this country and drinking?
8pm kick off is no excuse for the nonsense that’s gone this afternoon/evening.
Fucking morons.

Can we keep Emma Hayes please? Talks very well and loads more coherently than a lot of pundits.

Football fans have attempted to storm Wembley Stadium ahead of the Euro 2020 Final. Footage on social media showed a group of supporters breaking through security barriers and attempting to gain access to the stadium. Thousands of fans have been peacefully building up to the game on Wembley Way since late Sunday morning, but scenes have become more violent as the 8pm kick-off approached. Sam Wallace, a reporter for the Telegraph tweeted: "Just seen another fan jump down a 20 foot+ wall to try to get into the inner cordon near the media entrance. "He’s telling the stewards escorting him away he had his ticket stolen." Dominic King, a reporter for Daily Mail, tweeted: “There have just been two separate incidents of crowds trying to storm into the stadium. “Wembley Way doesn’t have the kind of atmosphere you would want on an occasion such as this.” Wembley Stadium spokesperson said: "We are dealing with an incident that occurred at the outer security perimeter area of the stadium, with support from police. "Safety measured were quickly activated in the relevant area and there were no security breaches of people without tickets getting inside the stadium."

Starting XI is a little cautious but he can change it up anytime he wants. Just heard Southgate say he knows within 15mins whether or not it is going to plan.

Cried when the Germans did us in 1970 as a 10 year old. I am so patriotic the Proms even gets me going!! This is in the bag I have no doubt.

pond life. They’ve probably never even been to a game but they’ll be classed as England “fans.” More likely to be the type that cause bother on a Friday night. I feared this might happen.

I don’t remember all this hype in 1966. Then again, the world is a very different place. Come on England. Let’s get the job done. If you had told me when I watched the 1966 World Cup Final as an excited sports mad 7 year old that I would have been retired for nearly 5 years before England played in another major tournament final, I would have thought you were an idiot. Yet here we are 55 years later and I have still only seen England win 1 World Cup, 1 Rugby World Cup and 1 Cricket World Cup in my lifetime. On that basis, this may be the last chance I get to watch England win something. I would love to see England put on a masterclass tonight and for every player who gets on the pitch to put in the greatest performance of their careers. In reality, I would take the most mind numbingly dull, turgid 1-0 win over an exciting 4-3 defeat 100 times out of 100. Come on England!

Rightly or wrongly I'm not surprised people are breaking into the ground, given the ticket prices and think I'm right in saying its not at all full capacity because of a poxy virus that no-one is dying of?
