Permission requested to get an enlargement of this? Planning to frame it and put it on my mantlepiece. It'll surely scare the kids away from the fire!

I'm kind of surprised that Everton have hired Rafa as their new manager. There's a fair amount of history there and I reckon he's going to have to do a lot to get the fans on side.

I received 4 comments about that shirt today. One bloke in a parked up white van shouted "up the 'ammers" to me in a mock 'Alf Garnett' accent as i passed by. Him and his mate asked if i supported West Ham. When i said no i support 'the mighty reds' they assumed Man Utd or Liverpool and asked why a supporter of one of those clubs would wear a West Ham shirt. When i told them by the mighty reds i meant Accrington Stanley they burst out laughing and asked if they could take a picture of me.

On about football associated shirts i didn't know that this shirt was the current England 'away' shirt.

I've seen a few wearing it and assumed it was just a leisure polo shirt,not an actual football shirt. 70 dabs is a lot of money for some flimsy polyester object!

I've always liked this shirt. I had the white one worn at Italia '90.

I might buy it. If i order it now it should get here before we play in the final!
Edit.....Just seen it's sold out, probably due to the popularity of 'Engurland' at the moment.

All this talk about England being sh/te avainst Scotland, pee poor in the first 75 mins against Germany...id offer another view.
If you think back to the late 70s maybe the 80s, then England really were sh/te, no passing ability, hoof the ball up the pitch and HOPE someone might be on the end of it, lose the ball continuously...they really were sh/te back then.
If you think about the Scotland game, the passing, tackling, self control, defence in general was there, just a lack of amition really, a failure to drive forward, i do wonder if they were coached as such, keep a lid on what is usually a hetaed game. Maybe, maybe not but, they weren't sh/te, maybe mediocre...but under control mediocre, which compared to the old days is a big plus.
Same with Germany, England held their own, but seemed to lack drive for a significant part of the game...but maybe that was part of the plan overall.
England rarely score nore than one or two goals, they need to start driving forward, look dangerous at every opportunity..
I wished i could remember exactly that specific period England were very poor indeed...it might make todays footballers look actually quite good. (We're still not up there, nowhere near as good as the top flight, but on the day....)

That is the flip side of course, which shows we still aren't there in reality, still not a rock solid unit across the pitch like top flight teams are. But, still acres better than the old days (imho)

Remind me how many goals Scotland scored in this contest? Was it 2-a-game or more ?

And how many conceded?
The England-Scotland game was hardly a goal laden thriller, but a dull 0-0 on a wet evening
3 shots on target in total ......woot http://www.soccer-blogger.com/2021/...ots-map-match-stats-june-18-group-c-0-0-draw/
England were shite...Scotland not much better
