Yes. The National stadium. Where should they be played? Selhurst? Seriously though, I wish they were screening the final at Selhurst... I'd pay for a ticket...Mr. Parish if you're reading this

We are not hosting the euros, yet seem to be enjoying home advantage. The English quarters, semis and final all being played at Wembley.

People say you need luck to win tournaments. We've had some luck here.
You're right really. There's no denying we were gifted that penalty. On balance though we were the better team, so to an extent 'you make your own luck' as they say. Hopefully in the final we won't be on the receiving end of something similar - certainly a possibility against Italy!

Mourinho says England must ‘relax’ one player who makes him ‘nervous’ Haha - well we have a small idea of who he might mean. Not exactly Gordon Banks is he? He'll probably play a blinder.

It wasn't. I agree that it wasn't a clear penalty. but if the Ref had given it as one - and it could have been given - VAR wouldn't have overruled it, as it also wouldn't have been a clear and obvious error.

I think it might have been ,as it was Kane who initiated the contact, which the ref clearly saw, which is why he didn't give it.

I know its only a song & a good footy anthem(along with a Cpl of others), BUT, how is it 'coming home' when we've NEVER won the Euro's, World Cup, yes I can understand, but, Euro's? So, it cant come home if its never been here in the 1st place. Just asking.

So, it cant come home if its never been here in the 1st place. When it came out in 1996 it was the anthem for the Euros hosted in the UK. It was sung by supporters of all nationalities ... certainly at the matches I attended. I could never get any tickets for the England matches but went to several others. It became more relevant to winning something as England progressed through the competition. Edited by Henry of Peckham (10 Jul 2021 2.43pm)

An unbelievably derisory fine of £26,500 for the laser attack on Schmeichel and usual yobbish excesses of our so-called 'fans'' The culprit should be in jail, Schmeichel was targeted several times before he went to the referee, it could have been murder. How much more one-sided can it all get? And why us, we are not usually favourited in this way.
