Right now I'm more stressed about whether I go to the pub or not than the game itself.

Thinking of chancing it with a walk-ins-only place but when? Get there too early and there's a reasonable probability I drink too much and can't remember the match, get there too late and I won't be able to get a table and will have to turn around and watch it at home (which probably isn't a bad thing, but I'd rather watch it out).

Go early. Leave watching it at home for the anti-England people like myself :D

Or at least invite friends round to your house.

Oh yeah sorry I should have clarified I'll be watching it with others either way!

I'm planning on going to the pub early to get a few drinks in, then come home to watch it with the family and parents. Maybe a couple of mates as well. 

Decided I couldn't be arsed with the pub for the actual game. Imagine there will be a fair few once a year drinking arseholes about. 

Watching it with the old man seems fitting and he won't do the pub for the game. Feel like I should experience this with him. Will we ever get that chance again?

Do you think Germany consider this tournament a mild failure, complete utter failure or par for the course? 

This isn't a troll. And not really aimed at you. Just curious generally. Open to everyone

Going out in the round of 16 is a failure, but the bar for complete utter failure had been set in 2018 with the group stage exit. Any tournament we don't make the semi-finals is considered sub-par. However, we were just 10 minutes away from a repeat complete utter failure, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how Germany were just sitting back in the final ten minutes against Hungary instead of trying to win the group, which was there for the taking. Hungary desperately needed to score and was wide open but the German team refused to follow through on the counter attack and instead took the ball to the corner flag whenever they could. They really liked this side of the bracket better and thought they'd beat England and coast to the final. They were pretty smug about it, too. So while England is a team you can lose against without shame, the fact that they wanted that match-up instead of trying to win the group and play Switzerland in the other half makes this a failure in my eyes.

Without the referee's help with Denmark (non-existent penalty), England would already be out
It is a huge shame that the final will be played at Wembley and not in a neutral venue.

Today is the day 😬🤢🥵🥴🤯🥺😳

It's very strange, I've spent years hoping today would happen and where I've been so focused on my mum this week, now when history is being made, it's almost passed me by in a strange way.

I’m excited, no nerves at all. I’ve been convinced we’re winning since the group stage so I’m not going to stumble now. Italy aren’t the sort of team that will let us dominate like the past few rounds have but we’ll get through them eventually. Probably won’t be pretty because I’m expecting them to go full Italian but we’ll do it in the end.

But that's useful context. It's just a football match and keeping an eye on your mum is far more important. I hope she's doing well.

Cheers, she's far from good, but she's making a tiny bit of progress, biggest problem is if she's needs the toilet at half time, the second half will be nearly over before we're finished.

But your right, perspective etc, like Weezer, Haguey, Rob etc ive been quietly confident all the way so I'm totally behind the boys tonight and if they have to do it without me actually screaming at the tv that's possibly a good thing :D

Since the tournament has started, I hoped to post something like this. I wasn't that confident we could go that far, but after seeing how Vialli hugged Mancini in the Austria game, I don't know but some good feeling grown up in me.

You have some unfinished business in Wembley.

Gianluca, you have a battle far more tougher to fight... but I hope tonight's game will give you the strenght to fight even harder.

Good luck guys.

 

And to english fans: I can imagine how it feels to live for the first time in your life this kind of experience. Enjoy the game, it's gonna be great, win or lose. If the first, this would likely be one of the best days of your life. If the second, don't worry, even if you think the world will end tomorrow, this is not gonna happen and believe it or not, you'll have another chance someday. Football always gives another chance.

There are plently of nice and fair guys here, losing against England will hurt of course, but it will be nice anyway to see someone new cheering this time.

And after all, at least it's not gonna be France :)

@SouthCoastRed I hope your mum get well soon mate :thup:

Been hearing the Italians have requested the longer version of their national anthem today as it will be harder to consistently boo throughout. Gamesmanship.

There is no longer version of our anthem.

Feels like something Sam Matterface will say on commentary tonight

Philosophy. If Sam Matterface commentates when the game is also on BBC1, does he make a sound? One of the great conundrums of our age.

Haha, you lot feel like I did in 1978, 1988 and 2010 ^^ :kriss: (Was too young for 1974 though)

Enjoy it for all it's worth! These moments are far too seldom in the life of a football fan. But then, that's what makes it so special. You will remember this day for the rest of your lives. 

(Captain Jack Sparrow would add 'the day you almost...' ;))

Good luck! (Also to the fans of the Azzurri of course).

He makes lots of sounds, just none of it is coherent

You seen the Dutch and Ajax sides of the '70s? Man, you've been spoiled. It's a pity you'd have been too young for the trio of European Cups.

Yeah, I'm from 66. Just a bit too young to enjoy it all but not too young to grow up with the belief (well, fact really ;) ) that Ajax are the bestest team in the whole wide world. Well, you know how goes ^^ The club chooses you, not the other way around.

I've got a lot of respect for Ajax. They've given so much to football. The amazing passing football they've made an identity. All going back to the Glasgow style of Queens Park of course :D
