Best goals of the tournament:

1. Lamine Yamal (Spain) vs. France.
2. Xavi Simons (Netherlands) vs. England.

...any others?


If you take away the own goals, there has only been about 40 goals in entire tournament.

The Spanish header in their first knockout game was about the only other one. And Bellingham's overhead. Maybe Olmo goal and watkins.

I bet Gary Lineker is struggling to get past goal E for the tournament selection. Lol

England gets criticized for their play, but my God, France was infinitely worse! How they faked their way to the semi will forever remain a mystery to me.

Actually, it won't: this Euros has been the worst in my brief time (14 years) following this fixed, tribal sport, so obviously it makes sense for France to have made it that far. big grin

Oh, and Mbappe was Man of the Match in the 2022 World Cup Final, but f*ck him, his side lost.

Hoping for England in the final.

I'll be watching and hoping for a great game, perhaps slightly keeping my fingers crossed for England, just because Spain has already more titles. :-)
But in the end, I have no stakes in it... I'll watch this relaxed and hope for a good match.

Our self-denomintated group of "freedom fighters" left a note nailed to my garage door, saying that they'll slash my tyres if England wins. As they are fighting for the freedom of Galicia, which has suffered so under the jackboot of Madrid, do you think it's too late to try to explain to them that I'm not even English?

Yeah, when you desperately need tourists money to survive and need to encourage them, it's a fantastic idea to demonstrate n drive them out. I wonder what fucking Spanish treehugger moron came up with that cunning plan?

Really? WTF! I HATE stuff like that. Sheesh. Football should be fun, root for whoever you want, but threats and violence have no business in there.

My initial thought is to park your car elsewhere where they can't slash your tyres. You shouldn't have to do that, but better to be safe in case the mob actually try to do it.

Aww, it’s nice that the Euros have brought the disparate tribes together in a show of unity against the English.

It's nothing that anyone wants to watch either.

Only 41 goals so far. Pathetic.
And we already at semi stage. Even the lowest 16 team tournament had 64 goals


The worst of it is, everyone will see how England and France have got to the semis playing such terrible football and copy them.

The World Cup in the USA in two years' time will be the dullest ever.


I've just been reminded there are 48 teams in the next World Cup. That's double the number of the teams in this one. DOUBLE.

It might kill off international football.

"The teams will be split into 12 groups of 4 teams, with the top 2 of each group and the 8 best third-placed teams progressing to a new round of 32"

So there'll be groups I, J K and L...

Half time in the Copa America final in Miami on Sunday has been extended from 15 minutes to 25 minutes to accomodate a performance by Shakira...

Hello again friends! For those of you kind enough to have shown concern over my living in the epicentre of terrorist violence, here is a little update. Don't forget - you don't HAVE to read this - but if you don't, you're no real friend of mine. But more about myself -

I was wondering how the Galician Separatist Freedom Fighters actually thought that I was English instead of Scottish. I mean, I've spent 34 years at the local bar asking for pints of McEwan's Export in a strong Scottish accent. Then I realised that just at the inner door to our conservatory, my wife had placed a "Welcome to London, England" mat. She'd bought it when we were on holiday there two years ago, but I hadn't actually read it until last night. Anyway, once I realised what the gaffe was, I went to the secret bunker of the revolutionaries, making sure to wear my kilt, knocked on the door politely (they were spying me through the keyhole, but softened when they saw the kilt) and waited to be allowed in. I counted six of them, all in black. I told them to kindly take off their balaclavas so that we could have a proper chinwag, and they duly obliged. They all beamed a giant smile, ear to ear, and stepped forward to embrace me. "You are my brother!!!" they exclaimed emotionally, tears running down their cheeks. They understood that Scotland has been at war with England since the days of Stonehenge (originally built in Scotland, then stolen by the English), just as Galicia has been at war with the rest of Spain since long before that. It was a touching moment, me standing there in my kilt, tears running down my face, and the six terrorists - I estimate that none of them were older than twelve years of age - sobbing in unison.

So, my tyres are saved for now. And may the best team win.

I know Spain is supposed to carve up the England side, but I still like the Lions' chances.

2-1 England.

P.S. Oh, how I despise the media.
