UEFA Euro 2024 Semi Finals ** spoilers ** [9th - 10th July 2024]

Totally agree, however literally anyone will have fresher legs than Kane, both at the 70th minute (or whenever the subs were made), but equally even after just a minute after kick off.

Something isn’t right with Kane, maybe a niggle or something. He will start though he is our record goal scorer and captain in the back of a 30 goal season for Bayern. Southgate should tell him to run himself into the ground for an hour then pull him for Watkins or Toney

Come on England, bring it home.

Maybe he thought we would be playing in the third place playoff. Lucky for Kane we got to the final then, as third place playoffs where cancelled in 1980.

There isn't a third place playoff. Harry is that you?

Not sure the niggle is the reason he drops so deep , also Bayern play totally different play style to England

Be an interesting Sunday given the local town is putting on a big screen….

Real dilemma on my side. I’ve been watching the tournament at home with the wife but she has an illness that means being out until midnight in noisy environments isn’t good for her.

I know she’d want me to go enjoy the atmosphere which I would do but also want to watch with her. Just trying to find the right balance of not pressuring her into watching it in town!

Always fully read a post before composing a cheeky response

edit: pithy sounded a bit mean, so I changed it to cheeky

Euro-related, but also a general football question, what is that famous drum beat called? I first heard it in 1994 when I watched Wolves vs Man U at Molyneux stadium. Then I heard it a fair amount during Euro 2024, both on the TV and in pub settings.

It goes like drum-drum, drum-drum-drum, drum-drum-drum-drum, drum-drum, ENGLAND! (repeat)

Demonstrated in the first 15 seconds of this video.

In the case of Wolves vs Man U, the "England" chant is missed off due to it being a domestic game, leaving the drums bit in. When I heard it in 1994, it was done using an air horn IIRC instead of drums.

No idea its origins but it is decades old. It was even in the Italian Job

Apparently the Dutch fans are rioting against English fans.

Hope England get smashed in the final. They don't deserve to even be in it, should have been sent home a long time ago, just pure luck they got through with last minute goals.

Vamos Spain!

I may be just a little bit annoyed as that 2nd England goal today cost me getting a £7k win from a £2 bet

That was before the game.

In unrelated to euros news but there no Copa America thread videos on X of Uruguay players fighting with Colombian fans in the stands and Darwin Nunez is there.

Yeah, as @bingham67 said, that was some time before the match. A few minor injuries of England fans just minding their own business.

Considering the numbers of English fans and the 100k+ of Dutch fans I'm.glad it was that limited (unless.ive missed something).

 

[adidan]

Wonder if Hasselbaink will be allowed back n the Netherlands.

Presume he misses everyone with his swings?
