We’ve done it!!

My younger neighbour said to me on Saturday “I’m desperate to see England win a big tournament, aren’t you?” I was able to say to him “The day after we got married in 1966, we watched them win the World Cup.” What a day that was! I was genuinely hoping they’d do it again yesterday but sadly it wasn’t to be.

A disappointing result for us but a good match to watch and tbh Spain outplayed us.

World cup in two years Iam64

I think we did brilliantly although it wasn’t the outcome we wanted but how wonderful that they got to the final
I love Southgate he seems such a kind, caring, supportive manager who really cares deeply for ‘his lads’ he’s a really ‘hands on’ man and not afraid to show his love and support in bucketloads

Oh what an emotional roller coaster.
The lads did good at some points and lost confidence a couple of times.
Spain the best team in the tournament, the best team won last night.
Well done England, great young team. Thanks Southgate for all your work and a new management style
Next ?

I just watch the actual football but DP loves all the pundits and the before/after animated chat, think he almost prefers it to the footie😆
We will be cheering England on tonight and hope it doesn’t come down to penalties 😬

Our Freeview box keeps playing up, switching itself off then taking ages to switch back on again so we miss a critical moment.

We've emailed them more than once but they are not very responsive.

They have replied and told us to put it back to factory settings which means losing everything recorded.

For yggdrasil and Callistemon, there are masses of channels, lots of great shows to watch, documentaries galore -- if you search them out. You can also find things on the BBC i-player, ITVX, and the C4 and My5 players.

😃
Thank you but I am watching the tennis and yes, other programmes instead of all the waffle. We have plenty of programmes recorded too.
I may even watch the football tonight - but not the endless waffle.

I just wondered at the need for all the opinions and dissection before and afterwards. Is it necessary?

I check through the schedule every few days, and record shows that might be OK, catch them later if needed. I have a bank of about a dozen recordings at any one time.

The Talking Pictures channel has lots of interesting shows -- looking back at yesteryear -- and so does the Yesterday channel (which actually has quite a few shows that are current!).

I disagree with you OP about the new government.

In the tennis, yes.

🤣Viva Espana

Pronounced in the Spanish way, Iam64
Alcarath

I read that as Alcatraz Callistemon. I’m the only sister on our whatsap group who isn’t watching the tennis

Now, do we support Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final?
After all, he is Spanish!

We are all England managers or Pundits now. Even I told my sisters to relax, we may not have to stay up late for extra time becsuse Gareth would bring on Watkins And Palmer. He did and we three old girls could get to bed with our camomile teas

Come on Engerland
Folks who don’t like footie read a book, watch the tennis, do some yoga or take the dog out.

I cannot stand football and all the admiration heaped on very highly paid players for kicking a ball or stopping it with their body and doing goodness know what damage to their head. Head a fan on the radio yesterday saying everyone, absolutely everyone should stop work to watch the game. Just glad I'm not needing medical care, hope my house doesn't go on fire or I am assaulted during the game. The man booed and booed at another listener when she said she wasnt going to watch the game live. Sums up football for me.

🤣

Will Southgate have the b**ls to leave Kane on the bench for the final and start with Olly Watkins? Of course he won't. He will leave it until 80 minutes before bringing on the likes of Cole Palmer and Watkins and hope for an escape, which is what he got on Wednesday. Spain will be their toughest test yet. No time for sentiment.

Did anyone else see this? Congratulations from the king. He’s obviously got a sense of humour, it certainly made me laugh.

Roll on Sunday ⚽️
England to win, and Carlos at Wimbledon 🎾
