Defence wins championships. I predict a one nil win for the successful nation.

IF England win we can expect all the negatives to come bleating out of the usual suspects. Poor tournament, home advantage, get all the decisions, never a penalty, blah blah blah.

100% for sure and it started early in the tournament. Iv developed quite a good fuck them attitude over the years. It always happens against us so fuck em. It was my exact same thoughts when they showed that little german girl crying. fuck her they have won stuff more recently than us- where was the sympathy for me when i was a young lad crying at euro 96. In years to come the year will have a name of the winner against and few will remember the way it happened in tiny moments in a match

They go 1 up. Harry Maguire late equaliser. Sancho winner for us in extra time.

Shitting myself...going to watch the Copa America final as a bit of a warm up.

The sympathy was not for her crying but for the disgusting & vile racist abuse people were posting alongside the photo of her crying

only saw it live on TV.

such a hard game to call. we do have winners in our team. I'm sure I will see the lineup and doubt it once more. Will be interesting to see how tight the match is, subs will be huge once again

Yes, no place for that in society. Nor in attacking the Danish chap and his family after the last game

Nerves not set in yet but I am sure they will when I start to hear the build up later especially when the crowd sing Its Coming Home or Sweet Caroline.

Unlikely to be many goals in this game, both sides will set up ultra defensive and hope to not slip up early in the game with a cagey start by both teams.

Called it right last time.

Don't underestimate ther Danes they will not be a pushover, I expect a single goal will win for England and probably in extra time.

I predict a single goal win in normal time, hopefully for us.

A close game of few chances.







COME ON ENGLAND!!!!

A lot of people aren't making kick off, are they?
