The Final: Spain vs England live from the Olympiastadion, Berlin. BBC1 AND ITV1. Sunday 8pm

[RTHerringbone]

It's all still like an out-of-body experience for me. I'm genuinely expecting to lose but am pretty sure that's largely me trying to fool myself into not caring so much if / when the inevitable happens.

Two beers in pre kick-off, just to take the edge off.

[Smallen]

holding back tears and nausea, I am a wreck, get this over with already argh

I was ok till then, bastard 

[Andrew_]

The opening ceremony will take some beating...

[GunmaN1905]

As expected, looks like there's about 70-80% England fans in the stadium.

[Wavelberry]

5 minutes till I play World in Motion for the last time and hope it works.

[RTHerringbone]

These BBC montages 😭

[DJ]

What is this shiz? I hate 'music' before or during a game. 

[Rob1981]

That’s it. I’ve gone

Good luck Gareth 

[Darren Moores Mum]

So emotional right now. Even more so than 2021.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

 

[Darius1998]

Chiellini. :')

[SouthCoastRed]

Ah, the national dirge one last time

[GunmaN1905]

Weak anthem, everyone must be clenching.

[RTHerringbone]

Oof.

[Darren Moores Mum]

****ing done 'em on anthems. They can't even be bothered to sing!

[DJ]

The usual sporting whistling from the fans... 

[JD nawrat]

Not a single bit of passion on display from Spain. make up words ffs

[GunmaN1905]

I've never been calmer when facing the impending doom.

[CFuller]

Bloomin' heck, even the referee is the youngest ever! 

[GunmaN1905]

England settles this in the first half, tbh.

It won't even be that bad. Yeah they'll still talk about it in 100 years, that's the whole point. Croatian and Scottish media/fans would do the same too  

[DJ]

Vamoooos!

[Wavelberry]

Well, here we go then.

[Redshift]

Just glad all the waiting is over tbh.

[Astafjevs]

Bellingham is playing wide left from the looks of it.

[Baptista_8]

Bellingham is so lapse at times. Take more care with it.

[JD nawrat]

Shaw had a good physical start to the game. Putting his mark on Yamal early. 

[Redshift]

Is that the German fans booing the Spanish?

[SouthCoastRed]

Just Cucurella tbh

[DJ]

Only Cucurella. The German fans have declared him public enemy number one because Germany did not get a penalty against Spain. It was his hand that stopped the ball. 
As if he made the decision himself  Utterly pathetic. 

[ThanatosAFC]

Top notch pressing from the Spaniards. 

[JJ72]

Be nice if we actually had some possession. Keep giving the ball away

[Wavelberry]

Williams is proper tasty innit.

[Redshift]

Stones going in like a freight train

[georginho_juventusygr]

JOHNNY!

[arenaross]

Spain are a very good football team. 

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Not the best of starts is it

[Baptista_8]

Konsa would pocket Williams

[JJ72]

Dreadful

[TalkSport]

Can we ditch going long to Kane yet?

[Astafjevs]

It's the same as pretty much all the other games though. Like I said before, this tournament it doesn't seem to matter. They can still find a way even if the game is one-way traffic

Par for the course, really 

[Pukey]

No but they were always going to have more possession. We need to be much better on the ball but this isn't much different to what we should have expected 

[Coulthard's Jaw]

One thing is for sure, if we go behind in this game it's over, chasing a game against this would not be fun

[Andrew_]

Sleepwalking their way to defeat.

[JJ72]

That was better. Jude seems on it tonight
