Hard luck but they played for the penalties. Maybe they should have had more self belief. Why did they take Harry Enfield off though
The BBC is struggling to find English fans in Italy to interview, Mr Monkhouse this could be your big break. You can put "as seen on the BBC" on your flyers.
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 1st July 2021, 3:40 AMWith the Krauts and Frogs knocked out by non EUers, here's hoping we meet up in a proudly Non EU Euros Final. We could do a trade deal at half time.
Boris would probably trade two goals for one and 10 thousand likes on youtube. I'd rather Sterling did the negotiations.

Or preferably as seen on the BCG.
Italy - England final then. Such a shame Italy taint their stylish attacking football with their old gamestalling tactics. In the last ten minutes they were like 11 little Steve Sunshines all rolling about on the pitch cheating. 
Belgium should've been awarded a walkover for the Ities non playing. Look out England, don't go a goal down to these playactors.
Well that final is certainly one of the permutations
However the expectation has never sat well on the shoulders of England players, so I hope these young lads aren't on social media
They have a chance, but flipping hell have we learnt nothing from overhyping an England team that's hard to beat with a few good players year after year after year
But I've also got a couple of quid on Ukraine (literally a couple) as 8/1 seemed a tad generous for a two horse race
(although these bets are only on a 90 minute score unless specified otherwise so I might have to also check the odds on them winning anyway round)
EDIT
Haha I didn't even see the insult as I'd only read the first line of your post Alf
Go on then PM me the Fantasy football code so I can beat you again when you have a seemingly unassailable lead
(it's becoming a habit now if I'm honest)

But this year, we're higher in the ratings, both at FIFA and the bookies, than ever before (I think). That's not hype, that's hope.

Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 2nd July 2021, 2:59 PMAs I did with Scotland, to cover the disappointment if England lost, (also had a £10 draw bet on that match) I have put a £5 on at 15/2 for a Ukraine win.
I hope I'm not getting hooked, as this is all new to me.

Except that, as you then go on to point out yourself, it is not a two horse race at all. It is a three horse race. Win, lose or draw.

But Belgium were number 1 without winning anything.
Good point. Gianni Infantino must like beer and chocolate.

Yes I've got the draw covered nd Ukraine to qualify
I call these bets softeners in case the worst happens
And well done Harry nice finish
DO you want to make me skint or what?

I thought you guys weren't into the whole fighting thing?
I lost money but gained hope
However Ukraine were shit

You're not the only one, but it was worth it to jinx Uke.
MOTM for me were Santos and Shaw
