Viva Espana

To win seven matches in a row (90 minutes) in competitive matches is quite a feat, just saying 

[owl sees all]

Well, obviously Spain are favorites. They only have to win one match The others have to won two.

The first known ball game which also involved kicking took place In China in the 3rd and 2nd century BC under the name cuju. Cuju was played with a round ball (stitched leather with fur or feathers inside) on an area of a square. A modified form of this game later spread to Japan and was by the name of kemari practiced under ceremonial forms.

There are loads of ball games that involve kicking but have nothing to do with football.

Anybody apart from England as we will never hear the end of iI, they still talk about 1966 if it was yesterday.

That’s mostly the media, but it would be the same if any team anywhere had won one world cup, heaven forbid the sweaties… they’d tell you about it every single day!
 

Yes bit naff the inventors not winning big for so long but tournament football is notoriously difficult to go all the way. Then again in recent years back to back Euros finals and a WC semi ain’t bad.
 

They’ve got this far by idling against mostly sides that park the bus, Slovenia etc, quite hard to break down and find space. The Dutch first half was more like England, playing an attacking side. Expect similar with Spain who England beat 2-1 in World Cup, mostly same squad. Anybody’s game.

Yes gawd forbid some English having the audacity to talk about their achievements. Esp not the English, anyone but England right. We’re not even allowed to wave our own flag or mention much of history even among other English folk for fear of upsetting some fragile soul. 🙄

Not talking about their achievements, they are saying how Southgate has tuned it arond

[Seppius]

Southgate found a way to break up the smooth clockwork Swiss team, he will need to pull a rabbit to do the same against Spain

 

Come on England!!!!!!!!!

All the noise before the game last night about the ref being convicted match fixer, I thought he did a good job

 

If England did manage to win the final, it would make it an even better accomplishment

As an avid England fan....my money is on Spain.

Mainoo was man of the match in the FA Cup Final against Rodri. Spain have been the standout team in the Euros and obviously favourites. Spain 8 wins on the bounce, that run WILL come to an end. Just saying

Spain eight wins on the bounce in 90 minutes. That run WILL come to an end and I have a feeling it will be Sunday. Probably draw, England to win it in either extra time or penalties

[Nemises]

Go England! …and hope that Harry scores a goal to win me nearly a thousand dollars as the tournament’s top goal scorer. 

 

Even if he doesn’t score I still win big dollars as he is currently equal top scorer …and none of the other equal top scorers are playing in the final 🥂

It’s embarrassing to say that the inventors of football haven’t won a trophy for nearly sixty years. Sadly I don’t have high hopes for England this time

 

Well that could all change 🙂

I am not a big gambler, but I've put a few quid on England this time after their excellent performance against the Netherlands
