As a neutral, I don't actually disagree with your point that Spain were better, but I don't think you can really call yourself a neutral on this.

ladyspite 385 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I thought England was pretty entertaining during the tournament. After 1-0 in the final though it was dreadfull. Dont know if it was Italy that was that much better or England who just went into full defence mode or a combo... 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Italy might have had more shots or attacks or whatever but they weren't fun to watch IMO, constantly slowing their games down by faking injuries, playing dirty etc. Not saying England were whiter than pure snow or the shirts on their backs but I found our games much more enjoyable to watch. At least you didn't mention diving ala Sterling👊 Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember rightly, we sat off a bit and never looked to capitalise on the position we were in. But then we hadn't conceded a goal until the semi-final and that goal was a superb free-kick so you can somewhat understand why we did. Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,631 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Won't lie, I ended up too drunk for the final and I can barely remember most of what happened between our goal and the shootout. For understandable reasons, I've never been able to bring myself to watch it back. Link to post Share on other sites

Only a few months until it can be overwritten with some fresh trauma 😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I just think its hilarious that the reigning European champions got knocked out like that. Although I guess that means North Macedonia are also better than England... 🤷♂️ I mean we do struggle to break down defensive teams... Link to post Share on other sites

Just think of those poor entitled Chelsea/City/Liverpool supporters having to endure England performances. Then there are those poor Spurs/United/Arsenal fans who have been hit with a massive double whammy of underwhelming disappointment. At least Boro fans have the antibodies for such massive let downs, we have been immune to it from Birth! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They were set to announce that we were hosting it next month, as we were unopposed, but now with Turkey's bid they can't announce who the host is until September 2023. We allegedly withdrew our bid for the 2030 World Cup specifically because we were promised Euro 2028 for doing so. Bloody politics! If they're going to be like that, why even bother submitting bids? Why not just have a rotating schedule? To give it an extra edge, if the host nation wins, they get to host the next tournament...bit like our matchday threads... 😁 2 Link to post Share on other sites
