how about we open it during half time too, and if it goes to ET. I think the two 45 stretches can be locked without too much trauma.

Come on man, I'm sure you can manage it for the whole game.

It's like those people desperately trying to connect to wifi at Tube stops before the train goes back into the tunnel. Just let it go for a bit :p

No.

EVERYONE was screaming for both to be in the side.

Were they? That's not my recollection. In fact I remember someone, I think it might have been Clough or big Ron, referring to Beckham as a one-trick pony where everyone knows his trick and that a more versatile player would be a sensible pick depending on the match. Not saying I agree with that, but that was what was being said in the studio punditry.

Sheringham was getting absolute belters going into the tournament, with the clamour for Owen to be in the team.

Funnily enough, years later (was it as late as 2006?) everyone was calling for a really old Sheringham to be in the squad again.
 
Makes no difference to me, should we win it I’ll happily go in with a hangover and if it’s a really messy one I’ll lose my job, not a problem I can always find other work. :p

Pretty cruel to schedule the final on a Sunday night, what were they thinking?

Every final of a major football tournament has been played on a Sunday?

Not sure why the vote to lock this thread while the game is on. A new thread will just be created for match game chats?

I can't wait for this final, Southgate has been brilliant, best manager since Sir Alf Ramsey. Asked and answered each challenge of this Euro tournament; defiantly a Knighthood incoming.
 
I reckon most work places will let it slide if England win, after all most were not alive the last time we won a major cup. Obviously excluding the life and death roles and emergency services etc, we don't want them to be going into work drunk!
Maybe Boris might even give us a bank holiday.

I would say player wise i'd favor England. I do wonder if the circumstance might get to English players though. Not many of them have played in finals and especially with the expectation of being at Wembley it could be a bit much for them. They seemed to struggle early on on Wednesday before overcoming it and growing into the game, so just have to hope we don't go down early on against Italy.

Pretty sure a lot of them have been involved in finals during their under 21 & under 18 days. Their mentality to seems superb, that has to be down to the manager. I rewatched the game yesterday while on my death bed and it was refreshing to see all of our players wanting the ball for the entire game unlike during the Capello and Eriksson days.

I honestly believe Southgate deserves far more credit than people on here are giving him.

I guess this is where it would be good to be self employed, being able to adjust your own working hours etc
 
Logic doesn't matter. If England win Southgate will be a tactical genius and a hero and get a knighthood next time the queen is free.

Under the same rules his incompetence and sabotage will be the reason for a loss :p
