They were the best side in the tournement. I am dissapointed but not surprised. We had our moments and I enjoyed the goal and the joy it brought in my club but if I'm honest we were only really in with a shout because of several brilliant saves from Pickford. Could easily have been 4-1. We found a way and got to the final, I'm proud of that, well done guys but we need work to win a major tournament.

And before mine gets removed or we get a message from an anon mod please note the OP was discussing the football final, only one poster started being unpleasant bringing politics and brexit into it hence derailing and winding eveyone up. The htreaad should have remained about the football (which I actually predicted Spain would win 3-1...)

See this is exactly why I keep a microfibre cloth beside my crystal Ball. 😄

Quite Prudie. Apologies to TTT 🙏

Everyone - please stay on topic.

no apology necessary we all know that some are more equal than others on here. Sad that a few are exampt from the rules that the rest of us must follow. I had hoped for a sincere adult discussion about the game but hey ho, not to be.

modster: "Everyone - please stay on topic.  " - Like gulliver has? I assume you will be removing all of the irrelevant posts attempting to derail this thread.

23:02, 23:14 still there.

I confess to clenching when teacher pops their head round the door while chaos and drivel continue elsewhere.

Anyway, as I don't understand the science of football (🤣) I'll just say that Spain deserved the win and the lack of BS the ref and linesmen had to deal with was refreshing. I take it somebody's had a word with the tattooed knobs about who's running the show. It can happen when professionals with a clear framework, stuck to by all, are in action.

TTT - apologies, I'd missed the 2 posts you referred to, they're now gone.  We Mods are only human & can't be expected to catch everything in the time it would suit users.

Everyone - please stop referring to removed posts.

Thank you. I know you can't be everywhere but gulliver and others are targetting threads for disruption.

My house is a football-free zone but I wanted our team to win.  Our Spanish friends are very gracious in our defeat - not a smirk to be seen - which is nice.

With that last moment winner they are probably too relieved to be milking it. After all, England now have a rep for scoring all of their penalties.

 Yes, well done Spain. This was their fourth win and the most wins of any nation. England had an easy path going through and did not set the world on fire and rode their luck but faced the same old problem in the final, we lack that winning mentality, Spain has it as they punished us at crucial times.

william: "we lack that winning mentality" - err we got to final, how do you do that without winning?

That's what eternal bridesmaids tend to say.

This post is all about a game of football between Spain and England.  Spain came first and England came second OK ! What's the problem ?..Get over it.

Question Author

no problem hence the title.

End of?

Fair play to England though. They did win the World cup          ..............Fifty eight years ago...............
