1…anyone who loves football appreciates Harry Kane for the phenomenal talent that he is

2…anyone who loves football hates financially doped success because ‘he loves football’ init

I think the only reason you cheer on Pep is because you appreciate them getting the better of your real rivals, Liverpool. Just own it fam…hey I ‘appreciated’ your lot because you kept, first the Goonz and then the chavs at bay for a good few decades coz my ****ing dogshit team weren’t ever gonna do it…just own it

What are the rules around over-age players?

England's lack of under-21 players in their squad may raise eyebrows among the uninitiated but it is allowed under UEFA rules.
The competition is held every two years and the qualification process for this summer's edition began in 2021.

UEFA rules dictate that players had to be 21-years-old or under at the start of that year to compete at the finals should their team qualify.
Players born on or after 1 January 2000 are eligible this summer - with Norwich City's Aarons the eldest in the squad and passing the cut-off point by a matter of days.

We get Israel in the Semi's, IF we can get pass this Portugal side. We've already beaten Israel in the group stages, but Portugal are not done yet, so will be a tough 45 ahead.
 
FT 1-0 England U21's into the Semi Final

I have no idea how we survived that second half, that was by far the toughest game we've had.

We beat them 2-0 and quite comfortably last time from memory, so barring any fook ups, we should do. Although after todays game, not sure I can bear to go through another game like Portugal.

Couldn't watch another game, after todays match, but looking at the BBC results...

France U21's have lost to Ukraine U21 1-3

I think that makes the other semi as Spain v Ukraine.
 

I only cheer on City for the bantz <laugh>

Man City's beat Gills at Wembley where their journey began, and Mark Halsey (referee) was probably hated by every Gillingham fan for adding 5 extra minutes that day - which allowed City to come from 2-0 down to 2-2 in the 90th and 95th minute. To put that in perspective, 5 mins injury time was not the norm as it is today. I hated City for years after that defeat, and even more so when they had their money in the Prem. But two things make for good bantz on this site and it's Man City and the Tories lol.
