Also, if you give the tiniest of fucks about something called r\soccer you need to have a word with yourself.

 

None of them have the slightest clue about football.

I can see why people would bemoan our penalty being soft (it was), but

a. The stonewall against Kane... has it slipped their mind?

b. Denmark were better for 30 minutes out of 120 played. We were better for the rest of it.

 

Not sure how anyone can argue our win was anything but deserved to be honest.

 

In the final 15 minutes, Denmark managed one shot and one corner. In a European semi-final where they had to score. That we limited a good side to only that shows just how comfortably we finished the game. Outrageously good stuff.

It’s a massive hatred for England that’s fuelling it.

 

For a lot of us, we have been so rubbish for so long we didn’t know everyone hated us. Lol

Just coming down a bit this morning. 

 

I'm around the same age as @scram, I think, early 50's.

 

I've gone from Spain 1982 and Keegan missing the header

 

Mexico 86 and Maradona. What a tournament that was, still my favourite. 

 

Then it's Italia '90 and that semi final- first time I'm watching that kind of thing with mates as a young man with beers .

 

Then the years slip by, terrible Euros,  Van Basten hatricks, Euro 96 which seems a blink away to me, more tournaments blurring into one ..daft game changing red cards, dodgy goals scored against,  legitimate goals ruled out, penalty shoot outs more than I can remember  - all watched with the same mates I watched Italia 90 with.

 

We've gone from lads in our early to mid 20's, to 'mature' men in our early to mid fifties, having never seen England in a tournament final.

 

As amazing as this is, being there at last,  I feel like 'mourning' the last 30 years,  because that England, that feeling is over now.
