There’s loads trying to get in without tickets, they tried to pull the stadium fencing down, but a load of riot police turned up. They’re now going through seat by seat and throwing people out. The organisation is much worse than the previous games.
That’s a Sunday morning special there’s no entitled to go down bollocks there is thee He’s going down
Just to ruin someone’s night 'I tip Maguire for a knighthood after Euro 2020 final' - Alex Bruce who kept Harry OUT of Hull City side Former City defender Alex Bruce looks ahead to England's biggest night in over half a century Barry Cooper Alex Bruce admits seeing Harry Maguire develop into a key part of England’s run to the Euro 2020 final has not come as a huge surprise, and has backed his old teammate to earn a knighthood. Bruce played with a young Maguire at Hull City and has watched closely in the years since as the former Tiger has gone on to become the world’s most expensive defender, and one on the cusp of writing his name into history should the Three Lions beat Italy to claim their first major title in 55 years. Maguire missed the first two group games of the tournament as he recovered from injury, with boss Gareth Southgate choosing to operate with Tyrone Mings alongside John Stones, before bringing the 28-year-old back for the 1-0 win over the Czech Republic.

I just hope to god we win,” he said. “I was a bit more nervous for the semi-final than I will be for the final because it’s a sense of achievement to actually get to the final.” Southgate has been criticised for his team selection at various points throughout the tournament, while Harry Kane also came under scrutiny early on, and Bruce says the manager’s strength of character has been hugely important. “That’s one thing you’ve got to give Gareth Southgate credit for, he’s got thick skin, and he’s not listened to any outside influence. “The press in this country have a very regular habit of building you up to knock you down, we’ve seen it over years and years. “Gareth touched on it himself in the tournament where he picked a team and he thought ‘if I don’t get this right I’m dead’ – to go into a game with that pressure, I’m not sure other countries would have to feel that so it’s something we have to look at and try to sort out. “When you’re in a major tournament you can’t play well all of the time, it’s the results that matter. “Listen, if England play poorly and win 1-0, are we going to complain? Definitely not. “You don’t get to high with the highs and too low with the lows, you’ve got to try and keep an even balance on things and don’t put too much pressure on the lads, and they’re young.” please log in to view this image (Image: PA) When it comes to the pre-match betting, there’s not a huge amount in it with England marginal favourites if anything, and Bruce is bullish about their hopes. “I fancy us strongly, on paper we’re the stronger team. “If the lads turn up and play well I think we’ll win and they’ll all probably wake up on Monday morning with Sirs before their names. “Everyone knows what’s at stake, what a game to play in. They must be so excited, the players, and if they go and do it they’ll deserve all the accolades they get. “I’m going for 2-1 England in normal time, and hopefully we’ll all get a Bank Holiday on Monday!”
They shoot horses don't they? Rabble ! Seems you were allowed 4,000 plus subs back then. You had to wear a flat cap to identify you were a sub.
That's really sad. It's a shame they made this a 8pm kick off. Some people were bound to go too far to early..... Some of the people in those video's look too far gone to even watch the game. Come on England lets do the business on the pitch. Please. Pretty please with knobs on.
Come on England...I've had words with a couple of pricks in work Today. Let's keep it clean and play this mob off the park!!
