Express yourself
Create the space
You know you can win
Don't give up the chase
Beat the man
Take him on
You never give up
It's one on one
Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When something's good
It's never gone
Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
Now is the time
Let everyone see
You never give up
That's how it should be
Don't get caught
Make your own play
Express yourself
Don't give it away
Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When something's good
It's never gone
Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get 'round the back
Catch me if you can
'Cause I'm the England man
And what you're looking at
Is the master plan
We ain't no hooligans
This ain't a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we can't go wrong
We're playing for England (England)
We're playing the song
We're singing for England (England)
Arrivederci, it's one one one
We're playing for England (England)
We're playing the song
We're singing for England (England)
Arrivederci, it's one one one
We're playing for England (England)
We're playing the song

Arrivederci, it's one one one
We're playing for England (England)
We're playing the song

Arrivederci, it's one one one

India Women were just too good.
Is pineapple pizza now a flare substitute for the football fan who has everything?
I was so relieved he suffered no adverse consequences though an investigation by the police followed into how he had ended up in the water
Rescues in water are instinctive and never a thought to personal danger
"We'd urge everyone to keep themselves safe and look out for each other. We've seen people jumping off street lamps or hoardings, this could easily end in injury."
I've realised that we just have to roll with this. It is a one-off. It is England's first final in half a century, the nation with the most passionate (and inebriate) fans, the same nation that invented the game, it is at Wembley, it's against a great opponent, and - most of all - it is the end of 16 months of lockdown hell and bleakness
It is going to be mayhem, a bacchanal, a saturnalia, the Lord of Misrule is abroad. Just got to go with the flow

Utterly pathetic
Don't forget to put the bromide in the Corona, mind.

But it is depressing it still happens, even if things are not generally as bad as they once were.
The fact it has failed so early..
What could go wrong
Wish it was a cold doner kebab.
Remainers on the lash?

You know who I feel sorry for today? Prince Harry. He’d have been there at Wembley giving it large. Instead it’ll be a kale salad with the Mrs discussing the importance of supporting CRT in schools.
Very nice surprise from our @EU_Commission team in Italy
Forza Azzurri!
Fingers crossed for tonight’s #Euro2020Final

What a pedestrian, flair free line up.

Jackie Baillie, the Scottish Labour health spokeswoman, said: “It looks like the Scottish government is making things up as they go along. Having banned people from cruises and banned cruise ship passengers coming ashore in Scotland, they now appear intent on housing thousands of students in close quarters in petri dish-like conditions which risk a huge spread of the virus.”

More entertaining than that England line up.
Say what you like about Putin, but he knew how to run a good tournament, with no trouble.
Get under cover. Now. Somewhere with a very strong lock on the door.
Oh, and FFS don’t run.
Ramsdale, Johnstone, Grealish, Henderson, Rashford, Mings, Coady, Sancho, Calvert-Lewin, James, Saka, Bellingham. Foden, Chilwell & White
Now that could be a very exciting team....
This is the downside to Southgate 2 systems, there are very limited number of positions for flair players. There is basically 1-2 "free" roles, from which there is Sterling, Sancho, Foden, Grealish, Saka, and Rashford all vying for them.
And Southgate totally trusts Sterling, so realistically at most 1 free role, and 5 players all who could play there.
I’m not a big fan of going to back five in this era believing you are more secure. If you concede a midfield presser and midfield pass option to your opponents, you will concede too much possession and territory, leaving opponents with the possession playing too close to your defensive line, ie free kicks, your passer will be pressed too quickly by their spare man, and it leaves you looking like you are playing crap and without passion out manned in midfield.
It’s the first really big mistake Southgate has made in a tournament, and it’s pretty fatal really, going back five and leaving his midfield and forwards running round like headless chickens. 🤬
I would have Henderson for Mount, overload midfield press ourselves for at least 60 mins, I would play a long ball game. We have people who intuitively know where they should be, we should use that and their pace rather than a wing back game.
This has got high-scoring England win written all over it. 3/2, 3/1, 3/0, 4/1. One of those.
(only had a couple)
One rule etc...
Has to be lamb for me.
Foden is a huge loss today. If they get pinned back, he is the man who has the world class ability to work through organized tight defences. Grealish potentially can, but he will also give the ball away a lot, which the Italians will then keep for 5 mins.
"How long's the intermission?"
Me: "About twice the length of the matinee."
What he did was spend large sums of money on the main line networks, used by tourists and journalists. Then, he demanded realistic timetables. Previously the rail managers had been running timetables predicated on a running speed of around 120kph in stretches, where the realistic top speed on the railways of that time and place was around 110 kph. Moreover, no pathing allowances had been left to let them regain time. So, naturally, they were frequently late.
So he made the prestigious trains appear to be running much more reliably. Hence the myth of ‘he made the trains run on time.’
People on quiet branch lines didn’t get a look in, of course, but the Italian railway network was so chaotic that didn’t make much difference. There were numerous stations built so far from the villages they were meant to serve that they were actually further away than most inhabitants had ever travelled.
