The Football.....

Scotland - the only country whose players do a lap of disgrace.

And as someone with a genuine affinity with Germany, having seriously considered holidaying there in ‘93,

I can trump that. My grandma (on my dad's side) came with her parents to Blackburn Lancs from 'the fatherland' as a 4 year old in 1904,when her dad was a much needed 'Tackler' in the local cotton mills. A Tackler is/was a engineer/mechanic who fixed the looms,for those who don't know. She never mentioned her homeland,most likely because of the 2 world wars,but my dad told me she had cousins in Germany who'd fought and probably died in world war one.

This welcome rule change was way overdue -

Well the Italians started that one thousands of years ago always boasting about stuff. Julius Ceasar I believe it was. 'We killed 50,000 in the Gallic wars.' only to be corrected by Crassus who reminded him there were only about 25,000 of their enemies on the battlefield. 'Ah, you forget, away Gauls count double in Europe!'

It's no wonder they stabbed him.

I was shouting for Wales but gave them little chance.
Red for Harry Wilson....... NEVER!!!!

Just got back from a 27 mile ride to see the 3rd goal, followed by the sending off and then the 4th goal!
Mrs C said they were really badly beaten but, to be fair, they did really well to get where they did.... certainly out-did Scotland!

 

[postman]

For Welsh cyclists only.What is the difference between an egg and Denmark.You can beat an egg but you can't beat Denmark.

 

[Grant Fondo]

I made sure I was back from the ride before 5pm, expecting a close one.

Certainly quite an achievement.

Oh dear! I know that feeling ....

An even (and entertaining) game until the sending off. I still enjoyed it after too, neither side held back.

Absolutely the right decision for de Ligt to go; I'm not sure why the ref needed VAR to help out, it was so obvious.

Is that Phil Jones' sister in that picture?

Fair play to the Czech Republic they certainly took advantage of the extra man... ⚽⚽
