    Ain't got a clue on the score .
    Going on previous games you'd go Spain but finals seem to be different .
    I didn't think Greece and Portugal had a cat in hell's chance

    1-0 to a horribly unlucky OG that Spain concede in the 91st minute

    If both teams play to form ... Spain win ... but football is an inexact science ... one where results and performances can, quite often, defy logic ...

    A team collective can usurp individual talent ... it did in '66 - England did not have the best individuals - not in pure footballing terms, but they did have the best 'team'... with every member knowing their role and, especially in the final, executing it accordingly ...

    So - against the odds.. and logic - I'm predicting an England win tonight - just hope I haven't jinxed it <laugh>

    If anyone sees a George Cross with the wording Keith Bailey - Legend on it, it's for one of the lads down our local who should have been there tonight, been a member, home and away for years, the lads that have gone, have done the flag as a mark of respect.
    Edit, he passed away lastTuesday

    So BBC or ITV? I normally go for the beeb as the coverage is better but tempted to go ITV for Wright and Keane

    Penalties, none of them will be on target, so they'll go into sudden death at 5-5.

    How can it be 5-5 if none of the penalties are on target?

    There’s no way we can lose.

    Either we win by beating the best team in the competition, or we get beat by the best team in the competition.

    Be nice to win though. After all these years, all that heartache, disappointment and loss; can it really end tonight?

    Horrendous line-up from the Beeb. Rio Ferdinand, Micah Richards and Juan Mata. Shearer commentating. Alex Scott and Kelly Somers (?) pitchside.

    No contest.
