cafcrocky Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Driving back to London from the in laws in Derby at some point on Sunday. Sooner the better. Straight down a mate's house.

Bootador Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I'll probably watch it while running on the treadmill, not sure watching it in the pub is my vibe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Lucas Posted July 11 Administrators Share Posted July 11 Gear up in my red England '66' onesie. Put the dog's football hoody on as well. England football anthems on repeat from 6pm to 7pm Get food in, and ice cream. Sit down with my family (dad, mum) and watch the game. Drink some singleton whiskey after I've finished eating. Might slip in a bit of FM early doors. Really excited, have a bit more belief than 3 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal_guitarist Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Round my girlfriend's parents for her delayed birthday gathering as they all had COVID last week We'll have the game on but I'd much rather have been round my parents with my brothers and a takeaway that we were invited for.

JD nawrat Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Not an England fan obviously but will definitely be watching, have invited a mate up (was invited after the QFs so definitely no England supporting going on here ) to watch so should be fun. I don't really care who wins. The English media will be insufferable but they already are so... be amazing for the England team/players who I actually like the majority of. Never really liked the Spanish team (mostly due to their era of dominance via boredom) but this one is quite good to watch and I'm GODRI NUMBER ONE FAN so would be great to see him and a bunch of others win it for Spain. Either way i just hope it's a good game. I think Yamal and Olmo might cook the England defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizzy Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I'll be in Fuerteventura on holiday with Mrs Gizzy. I'll most likely watch the final on my iPad from our balcony as the thought of watching it in a pub surrounded by drunken England fans is a thing of nightmares. The locals will be happy if Spain win though 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthCoastRed Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I’ll be sat on the living room floor playing ball with the dog, just like most of the other games. Far too old to be down the pub with the pondscum. Probably get a takeaway delivered and a few shandy’s, and sit back and watch the best day of Robs football life. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titchuk Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I'll be out somewhere but not sure where yet, a lot of pubs in London have turned into walk-in only or charging extortionate amounts for a seat - got to one yesterday 90 minutes before kickoff and I reckon there were 80 people in the queue on a one-in-one-out policy so sacked that off.

hilly_boro Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I've watched every game so far in a pair of boxers and a 1996 England top.

Craigus89 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Ever since I dressed up my 6 week old daughter in her England baby grow which matches my shirt, England have won all 3 games.

EdBed Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Step son has suggested going to the Hooden-on-the-Hill to watch it which is my local, so i'll join him and his mates, and his gf, with my wife. No superstitions, I don't beleive in any of that. (used to though many years ago; I wouldn't watch a match with the TV volume set to 13) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc91 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Hope for a gentle headache, as I'd quite like you to win so I get the Monday off. On the real though, got a family meal around 1, so will sink a few beers then, likely to stay local so will see who in the area is watching and probably go join them and soak up some atmosphere as the misses will want me out the house, and the little one will be in bed. Fireworks at 11pm, smash the local bus stop up at 2am, stroll in at 3am, and then enjoy a bank holiday. Nothing like tailcoating on some glory for the sake of a few beers, been a good euros for that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopOnBaby Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Handily, my football team's sponsor is a gay bar that puts Euros games on for us, so we generally fly below the radar in terms of people knowing it's being shown. As a result, it's usually just us (got 30 saying they'll come at present), plus I'm sure there'll be other regulars who like football that don't play who will come along too. All while there's three or four drag queens in the other room showcasing their art 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_fenton Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Will just watch at home. Kids (5 & 8) have shown no interest whatsoever so far, but are both adamant they want to watch the final.

Rick87 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 As excited as I am for the final, the news coverage has been incredibly cringeworthy, interviewing bloody Jessie Lingards dad, kicking a ball around cardboard cutouts of the players, and waffling on about basically nothing to fill time.

kopsy101 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Watching with the wife, who'll undoubtedly be wearing an England shirt and I'll have to make supportive noises every so often to assure her I'm supporting England.

Bliss Seeker Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) Mates have tickets for the big O2 showing, but I am not doing that unless my arms gets seriously twisted. So just watching at home, whilst the wife, who stopped feigning interest in anything football years ago potters about hoovering, on her laptop, or asking really inane questions about plans for the next weekend.

Gary_Parker Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 At home, watching it and playing a drinking game. A decent swig of beer every time one of the commentators or pundits remarks that they've already won it before the game kicks off, uses the phrase "England expects" or makes a joke/pun about Yamal's age and the kick off time. Half a beer when the crowd shot focuses on a grown ass adult with their face painted and downing a full beer when it focuses on some sad twit dressed as a medieval knight for no good reason, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
