skybluedave Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I'm more nervous for this then the Euro final for some reason. I think with a final the tournament is ending whatever. I don't like losing and then having to sit through rest of tournament all depressed like. But this is the type of game I want. Big team, big game. I'm not confident because... I'm a 36 year old England fan. Gonna switch off the internet and just try to enjoy the game. See you all on the other side 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I suppose we have nothing to lose today. I'm always a nervous wreck watching football when it's my teams, for some reason. I do think we can do it though. Have to believe.

Mr Adam Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Tried to stay away from the punditry and journalistic build up so don’t really know the consensus but I’m not confident from what I’ve seen. We seem to be good at scoring goals once we have a team already beat. I can’t see us getting France into that position. And I might get jumped on for this but I think a lot of the tactical masterstokes some (I’ve seen in the media) have suggested have actually been more luck than judgment. As much as I like and respect Southgate as a person, a leader and a representative of our country Edited December 10, 2022 by Mr Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
