    I think most true fans have had faith and not been moaning. It’s the empty vessels making the most noise as per usual.

    All these teams were on the other side of the draw.

    Essentially people are already laying the psychological escape route of celebrating getting to the final.

    Do you think England are good enough to win it?

    Who will win final mate ? Spain have won all 6 games including victories against Croatia Italy Germany and France , so I'll be very surprised if the plucky English aren't the next scalp.

    Anything can happen in the final and it’s not often the favourite wins.

    Let’s just enjoy the occasion.

    Football wise the favourite wins approx 60% of matches.

    Doesn't seem very high unless you factor in drawn games in which case it's actually quite a significant percentage given the remaining 40% is split between draws and non favourite wins.

    The above is obviously assessed on two participants, if you increase your pool e.g. horse racing then the favourite only wins approx 35% of the time.

    Well you gotta have faith.

    England currently have a better chance of winning a pot than we have.

    Faith is hocus pocus and won't make any difference mate. There's a chance of course, but Spain are a far more successful nation, they gave had a far more difficult and successful route to the final, with 6 straight victories including wins vs Croatia Italy Germany and France.
    That side of the draw also included Belgiuma and Portugal... there was literally no countries of note on the entire opposite side of the draw but England and the Dutch.
    If England win I'll yield, but until then I see the full picture.

    Now you've gone and confused poor Hamish on who to support.

    He had just gone to buy his outfit for the final.

    You've been trying that for years but deep down you all love an argument.

    I just don't want England to win not even wumming.

    You'll play us off the park, we'll get a scrappy winner in the last few minutes and southgate will be lauded as a genius and knighted for his "services"
