Southernman46 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 6 hours ago, GMKAT7 said: Good morning folks, Well, it looks like karma has bitten Coeman! After cheating England in the past, scoring a goal when he should have been sent off, it seems only fair that we were awarded a dodgy penalty and scored in the last minute of normal time! Totally agree 👍 1992 on David Platt for those that can't remember or aren't old enough. Just wallowing joyfully in the fact that we're in a major competition final and it's not against the bl888dy Germans. Presumably it's a case of Spain only having to turn up to win and the number of goals they'll score but that's not the point - WELL DONE Southgate - we may not have completely enjoyed the getting there but it's done - nice one 👍 😁 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 11 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11 I’m no footie fan, but I’m always pleased at any UK sports success, because it makes a lot of people happy - and in the times in which we live that can only be a Good Thing. 10 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bourneagain Posted July 11 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11 Well done England, again they just managed to scrape their way through. As the lyrics of that infamous Vinaloo song “We`re England, we`ll gonna score one more than you.” Well how true, must be Southgate`s training motto, in the UEFA and WC tournaments format, consisting of a league and then knock-out matches, does England now have the record with scoring the least amount of goals, 7 in open play, to get into a final. The stats don`t look that good going into the final - England 7 v Spain 13. Say mid way through the match and England do go 2-0 down, then how long will it be before the TV Commentator announces “England will need to achieve something that they haven`t managed so far in this tournament and score 3 goals"! Or they will try to score 2 and go another penalty shootout? We`ll find out on Sunday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishcolumbian Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Both of the football results I want to see in the coming days are unlikely. But I can't decide which is the more unlikely - England beating Spain in the Euros, or Canada beating Uruguay for third in the Copa. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you go by FIFA rankings we (Canada) shouldn’t even be in COPA at this stage, but we are so nothing to lose and the lads have no pressure but to go out and do their best. Sometimes it’s nice to be underestimated. As for England, Spain won all their group matches convincingly and look depressingly good, but hey, at this stage of the tournament anything can happen.

hayfield Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 For far too long England have started well and faded away This time expectation has been very low and until the last game they played badly and just scraped through, lets hope Wednesday was not our final 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Question - when did two ex-Leeds United managers face each other in an international match? Answer - it’s happening right now. Canada (Jesse Marsch) against Uruguay (Marcelo Bielsa) for third place in Copa America. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eii, so close... proud of our lads though, 4th in the Copa is a great result for them, and to think Uruguay had to get a laaaaate equaliser to force the penalties... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of a couple of (old) questions to test the knowledge of sports fanatics at the pub quiz: Which member of the Royal family was also a professional footballer? Answer - Joe Royle.

Back in the day a number of individuals like Arne also spread their talents across more than one sport. For anyone interested in researching this sort of thing, who played football for Portsmouth and England (including Great Britain) but also played cricket for Hampshire? A clue - you would need to consider Olympic sports. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Interesting to note that last time England won a major tournament there had also been a landslide Labour election win not long before. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted July 14 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14 (edited) Canada played pretty good last night I thought. Exciting day today, Ive unexpectedly found myself in Miami on business, I was worried that Americans wouldnt even knowcwhat the Euros was, let alone show it in the bar… but no fear arrived in a town full of Argentine shirts… no shortage of football money here, $66k for best seats tonight, $2k for a cheap seat at Copa America final which is here in Miami tonight… Unfortunately no England shirts and theres no brits in town that ive seen… still $1 a wing in the bar, and every bar on South Beach is showing it.. The Americans still have some things to learn… would think they would get the right tournament logo aligned to the right teams tho 😀 i’ll be waving a hopeful flag from 4000 miles away, in a sea of latinos who quite definitely be supporting Spain watching this as a warm up for tonight… Anyone else far from home watching today ?

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted July 14 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14 I'm (currently) at Manchester Airport waiting for my flight to Amsterdam. From there I will take a train towards Germany. I was (am) due in Germany tomorrow BUT tomorrows flight was twice the price of todays (Business) seat at £650 !! I will watch the game in Arnhem and continue towards Germany tomorrow morning. Come-on Engaland ! Kev. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston is next and then it gets really glamourous… a suburb of Newark, NJ and Reston, VA to end the week. May get a little time to see NJTransit or an Acela by late this week, but South Florida seems a little devoid of trains, though Ive seen tracks I dont think ive ever seen a train in Miami. Need a good result this afternoon i’m going to hear no end of it this week. Edited July 14 by adb968008 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, up until that stupid defensive lapse in the dying minutes of the game, Canada could have won... I'll take that as a sign that England are in with a proper chance to win! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
