I drew Spain in the sweepstake in my local pub. I would have won £50 if Spain had won on Sunday.

I know a couple of people going to the game tomorrow. One has paid £172 for his ticket.

Happy birthday, 21 again?

Thank you Munkie! It's never-ending, that age! 

 

It's 11 am, is it too early for a nap? I need to be fit for another penalty shootout tonight.

Indeed. Was an awful penalty he took. I should have mentioned that if Spain had reached the final I would win at least £35 as that is the prize for drawing the second placed team. I know the lady who drew Italy in the sweepstake. Divided loyalties for her f it's an England v Italy final?

A house in Basildon, Essex. One or two flags!

I hate it when people can't make up their minds 

In my country real estate agents advise people wanting to sell their house in a street with much orange flags and bunting to wait until it's all over and the orange display has been removed

There's a bit of wall and a window that the owner hasn't covered up. I'll have to make a complaint! 

There is a couple of houses near where I live which have flag poles in their front gardens. Either have a Cross of St. George or Union Flag flying from them.

So we are going four at the back with Mount in the hole behind Kane.

I thought we would go with 3 CBs though looking forward to see how Mount works out today.

Two selections I would disagree with ... Saka over Sancho, and DCL not even on the bench.

Otherwise as expected ...

Don't mind Saka, Sancho showed some good moves yet Saka has also done well for England.

Think we are fortunate along with Grealish and Foden to have strength in depth.

Chilwell doesn't even get on the bench now, it seems. Weird. He's better than Trippier for sure.

Neither is James. 2 Champions league winners not even on the bench. Southgate is a lucky manager not a good one. Lucky he has faced 5 sh*t teams and a poor Germany.

I suppose from a managers point of view if you can have one player taking up the space of two on the bench it’s a good thing. I always try to have fullbacks who can play both sides on football manager for this reason alone 

@Valerie I’ve cracked the ice cream out already!

I hate our anthem, sounds like something you sing before going to war

I'm following an online council meeting for work and watching the match at the same time, that's a blunder waiting to happen 

What was Pickford inhaling in the tunnel?

@Munkworth I've resisted the 3 for €10 pints of B&J icecream and regretting it deeply.

 

I got sent my Irish passport last week thanks to my Dad being from Dublin.

That's a big part of anthems historically speaking...

If it’s a England Italy final, Italy win  the National Anthem contest hands down.

I want Denmark to have a lot more possession in the England half. I need Declan Rice to make 8 interceptions to prove he had a great game.
