To be honest, this is why I struggle to watch international football, I find it difficult to set aside all those club rivalries against players I spend season in and season out spewing insults at, when they pull on the England shirt. It’s probably why the digs from our Irish friends don’t bite as much. The playoff final loss hurt so much more than Sunday, no comparison.
England and Leeds legend Jack Charlton and Republic of Ireland and Leeds legend Johnny Giles didn't think so, but you wouldn't know that ye thick ****
I would like to point out to Scotland/wales/Eire etc just because you wanted Spain to win does not make you winners. There will be no trophy parade in Dublin or Glasgow to mark your win.
Just because I'm a total pedant, 53 teams attempted to win the 2024 Euro Championship and only Spain were successful
Eire lost and did not attwnd and scotland failed miserably in their group. Southgate bottled the final.
Thoroughly enjoyable tournament though for both Eire and Scotland. That's what footie is all about, the enjoyment it brings
