It wasn’t a classic with both sides evenly matched. Shame it had to go to penalties but well done Italy. Will welcome the newly crowed European Champions to Windsor Park in November. Italy will be very humble winners, imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just because of where we are, but it never really felt like the showpiece final of a major tournament. You expect groups of fans congregating, bit corporate, carnival atmosphere. Instead we got...whatever that was. Even though they're complicit, I'd imagine UEFA are fucking raging this morning. Basically they'd rather have seen scenes like this in Leicester Square French Coverage of the Portugese Partying on the Champs Elysee after beating the hosts in 2016 You'd need to go back to Greece beating Portugal in Lisbon in 2004 for the previous comparison but I can't speak portugese Edited July 12, 2021 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I did wonder. Say by some miracle we were in that position last night, and Hampden was the venue for the final. Now a fair proportion of our fans would be absolutely fucking blootered by the time kick-off came around (something I've never understood, but I digress), but do we think outside of the odd bit of trouble, there would be anything like the sort of scenes we saw yesterday? I don't really travel with Scotland, so the most comparable one I can think of in my fairly short career following them was the Ireland game at Parkhead that felt like it had needle. Never came close to a bunch of Scotland fans trying to kick f**k out of each other though.I worked that game and Maloney’s worldie was punctuated by about 30-40 Scotland and presumably Irish fans leathering each other in the stands where I was. Was some laugh, I mind asking the steward if he was gonnae get involved and he hit back “I don’t get paid enough”. Fair enough! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 7 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Saka has apparently never taken a penalty at senior level before. Quite why you'd have him 5th, so he has the whole shoot out to put pressure on himself, is wild. Presumably he was decent at them in training or something . I was baffled by England's choice of penalty takers. If Saka had to take one it should have been the second or third. I had been impressed by what I saw of him in the tournament, and delighted as I was by the result I hope he isn't destroyed by this. Apparently he's never taken a penalty (in a first team game). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry's is absolutely the best off licence in the south side of Glasgow as well. Tremendous watching England lose in the most heartbreaking manner possible last night. They came out the traps at about 100mph but I think once the adrenaline had worn off Italy looked like they had everything under control. As a few folk said about Chiesa, he was wonderful to watch. When he skipped through about 5 separate fouls from Rice it really was showing the difference in levels. Chiellini and Bonucci are just absolutely sensational. Absolutely willing to put bodies on the line in order not to concede. Give me a masterclass in shithouse defending to watch over tiki taka every day of the week. The number of people outing themselves as never having watched an actual game of football when they were claiming Chiellini should have been sent off for his jersey pull on Saka has been superb to see. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
