Yuko Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, The Amazing Dale Watkins said: This attitude is utterly perplexing to me. How is getting to a final more important than winning it? Why do so many English fans insist the big hurt is not getting there for fifty years rather than not winning anything? Trust me, a lost final absolutely sucks, and it's nothing that's ever a cherished memory. That's how we saw the 2004 as well. Oh, to be a minnow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haguey Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Well that's the point, people under the age of 60 don't know what it's like to lose anything but semi-finals or earlier Getting over that hurdle and making a final is such a massive mental thing for the team, and honestly the entire nation. We'll start another countdown about 18 months of hurt if we lose, just in time for the WC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw10 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 1 minute ago, InigoPatinkin said: He has loads of games in between, he gets lambasted on here loads for missing a few passes when he assisted the winning goal and score the equaliser. I've never seen a player so obviously and consistently productive get constantly underrated because he passes erratically a couple of times a match. We had a guy who rated him every game last season in the United thread and came out with an average match rating of below 6, in a season where he scored 28 goals and 18 assists. I think the Bruno thing is people trying to be too smart. Arsenal fans started to do it with Alexis. Scoring goals but people wanted him dropped because his pass percentage were low. Look at the many England fans and pundits that wanted Sterling dropped because he doesn't do anything apart from scoring and creating goals 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigmatic Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 7 minutes ago, XuluBak said: Just because one of them didn't run over and kick it out of play in the middle of an English attack doesn't mean they didn't notice it. Also doesn't mean it didn't impact play. The game should have been slowed or stopped (long before it got to that point) for it to be kicked out. Poor officiating, whether it actually impacted the play or not. What would have been dreadful officiating would have been to stop a developing attack because of another ball everyone was ignoring.

I’ve only really Saints experiences to relate too, and I have to say the 3 finals I’ve seen us lose hurt a **** sight more than the semi ones did.

Haguey Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 It was gutting whenever Sheff Utd lost a playoff final, which are the only finals I know of, but I kind of expected it. Even the Huddersfield one which went to goalies taking pens I just knew it in my gut. I care so much more about England doing well than my club though, as we can actually hope to win big, actual, tangible stuff. Blades will almost certainly never win a PL title or a major trophy so I kind of accept it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuko Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Losing a final hurts like a *****. The main reason is that you have those other guys across the stadium celebrating, knowing that this is it, there's nothing more. They've done it. It's like playing on an arcade machine as a kid, having to go through several levels until the final boss. You struggle, you reach a couple of insert coin moments, but you keep advancing. Then you reach the boss. And you're out of coins... Hurts a lot, you dwell on it for a week till you return back to the machine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Lucas Posted July 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 8, 2021 Well I don't know where the last few hours of my life have gone. Screamed and shouted so much during the game it scared my dog For at least an hour after the game there was nothing but car horns going off outside. Just absolutely amazing and this is better than 3 years ago because there was a sense of expectation this time compared to back then. Still pinching myself and can't quite believe it. Moved to tears when the final whistle came as I really never thought I'd see the day and when Denmark scored earlier in the game, I just thought history was repeating itself. I will be gutted if we don't win the thing now of course. Italy game is another I can see going 120 minutes or more even. Absolutely buzzing. Soft penalty as well to give and to take like that, but I don't care as it's gone in and we've won Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
