I know this is a cycling forum, but as well as being a cyclist, I am also a football fan having played as a kid and coached as an adult.
I've attended a lot of England matches in my time with the first being a home international against NI in 1979 and the most recent being the opening qualifier for this current Euros in March 2019.
I'm a fully paid up member of the England travel club and although I couldn't secure a ticket for any of the finals, I'm totally crapping my pants at the prospect of England v Italy on Sunday night.
I know it's only a game, but how do the rest of you feel?
Is it coming home?

It may do, it may do.
Although I couldn't care less about a bunch of overgrown thugs on massive salaries fraudulently pretending to have shattered legs to earn a penalty. Christ, some of them shoild have equity cards the way they lay it on.
Thats the top level 'professional' game these days. about as sporting as playing tag with a blind man in an empty car park.

I'm as dismayed as you by the antics, but it's a game which has to be played that way because that's exactly what the other team is doing.
It's all about sailing as close to the competition rules as you can whilst staying on the pitch.
I happens in motorsport, athletics, football, weightlifting, cycling etc. etc.
I've spent many a year wondering why I chuck money at football. I spent more than two grand following my teams FA cup run from start to finish in 2017. Best year of my life to be honest so maybe it was worth it?
But yes, if you take it down to its nuts and bolts, its just 22 people kicking a ball around in front of 60,000 piss heads.
I too saw that post. I'm convinced that 95% of AITA is people participating in creative writing exercises but if this is true then I believe the phrase is "farkin' yikes"
