A final placing at the euros is definitely a serious challenge. You have to put into context around the opposition - basically any "serious" team on earth would have been delirious to have our passage We played one decent team at home and got schooled I've seen this so many times no matter how optimistic some may be This is what we do We weren't beaten by a better team We surrendered before kick off How many saves did their keeper make? We blew it 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a home crowd, just go for it, if we lose its because they were better than us. Think I need to sleep on it, plus I'm ridiculously hungover so annoyed anyway. Got to a final, been a great 4 weeks tbf. It reminded me of many Wednesday matches over the years, where we got a goal and then decided to stop playing and try to contain the opposition, with too much time on the clock. Then we you need to step it back up, once the opposition has scored, you have lost too much momentum and its difficult to get going. I think we should have had them on the ropes for the whole of the first half. We didn't 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree. I don't think a high intensity sporting tournament should be held there. But it's the same for all teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
