Any Football Fans?

Always look on the bright side crimson

I just don't think that we have players of the calibre of Owen, Beckham and Shearer these days. Gerrard hardly got a mention tonight. Beckham in particular used to work so hard to create goals for other people, as well as scoring himself. Oh well; at least we won't have the humiliation of losing to the Germans again .

"It's only a game".....Well done to you ladies who support the lads...a big drink to you all....Cheers

Usual result. Perhaps life can get back to normal?

I couldn't watch the end. Deja vu......

Oh well. Flags down and ready for washing.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!

I shall be 'virtually' cheering for them ...while not actually watching the game!!

From going as 'no-hopers' {according to the media} ...the same people are now talking about who they'll be playing in the final! {get a grip} ...and no doubt the same people will be moaning about our poor performance/mistakes/what if scenarios/told you so

I'm a tad optimistic tonight. This is a concern as I'm the biggest pessimist ever. Our new manager seems pretty good; my ignorance of football means that I don't know much about him. I think I'm impressed that he can speak Italian, which doesn't actually mean that he can guide the England Football team to victory. But at least he can swear at the Italian team in their own language if they beat us, which can only be good, can't it ? Err, we are playing Italy aren't we .....

COME ON ENGLAND

It's still a beautiful game crimson the problem is the people who run OUR game and OUR clubs...All they see is money, money, money...Can't really blame the players, if they are offered silly money they will take it, Cloughie would

Gerrard seems to be doing a good job as captain crimson, and nice with it too.

Who cares indeed notso !! It reads 1-0 that will do for me lol. Now roll on Sunday

To me football is 'the beautiful game', but it's lost it's beauty. Cloughie will be turning in his grave. Very impressed with Gerrard these days, though.

Happy Days indeed Pete!

Lots of chit and chat about the match in the shops/ hairdressers etc. I agree that we wouldn't have won prizes for style or artistic interpretation , but who cares? We won!

I did not watch (surprise!), but my husband agrees with you crimson -( I do get a blow by blow description after the match). I thought they were paid to win.

Happy Days...

I think Portugal or Germany will eat us alive if we get that far. Thought we were awful.

Get in!!!!!!!

Ooh! Did we win?

Better second half!

Disappointing first half.

Still cannot understand the excitement about it all. it is after all only a game, glamourised by the media. Grown men dancing around like puppets if they win, crying if they do not, unable to accept the authority of the referee, and win or lose, still getting paid far too much.

Does size matter?

And I prefer bright yellow, round, small balls. Wimbledon ahoy! Yay! Rafa swoon. Roger double swoon. As of Monday, I may be conspicuous by my absence. However, as I'm a GN addict, I shall still need to keep tabs on you lot...especially that naughty nellie
