stimpy Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 To be honest, it would have been nice to score a "real" goal. That said, we were definitely the better team and deserved to win that match. The boys will have to be fully on point and work through the Italian drama to stand a chance Sunday. That Italy / Spain match was just ridiculous re drama fouls and penalties!! Does my nut in with all that drama - grown men rolling around on the floor pretending to be hurt..😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Brilliant. And so true... I think there used to be a rugby vs football vid floating around years back - not that I'm into rugby mind - but certainly ridicules footie players...

When I was a nipper watching Transworld Sport in the late 80’s early 90’s I remember one year the self-supported motorcycle class winner of Dakar rode the last section with both of his ankles broken, duct taped up and stuck back in his boots - now that’s sport! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 You also don't get any advantage for falling off your motorbike in a race but if it gets you a free kick in football, worth a try isn't it. 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Seeing as football originated in China circa 2000 bc,I doubt its "coming home " 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Trust us winning during a lock down we can watch the parade on TV or they let us out to line the streets then lock us up again as covid spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Yeah, gutted.... Have to say though, I really thought Italy would give us a punishing during the match and they didn't. The fact that we made it all the way to penalty shoot outs is a testament to how good we were as a team 👍. Just the better team won on the night. 😭 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 It’s not coming home it went to Rome ! Congratulations to Italy 👏👏. Someone had to win and someone had to loose just such a shame that some folks are such a disgrace when it comes to loosing and some folks ruined it for others. You can probably forget the World Cup ever coming here now after this weekends events which has probably cost us billions in lost revenue! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it seems that racism and destruction are still alive and well in English football fandom - yes we like to think it’s an insignificant minority, but it’s still large enough to taint the nation when the eyes of the world are looking upon us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get it. I don't doubt that there is a minority causing most of the issues but there still seems to be some really bad sportsmanship generally. A shame and a disgrace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
