    Have you saw the highlights? During the waaaaay too generous penalty action there were two balls on the field so the ref should’ve stopped the game.

    Anyway England deserved the win. Except for a free kick Denmark basically never shot on target.

    Statistically this is Italy’s fourth Euro final and we lost the last two.

    As the Euro's Final approaches, here are some great images of the England's World Cup winning Captain Sir Bobby Moore visiting Pinewood and meeting Sir Sean Connery. Jimmy Greaves and Yul Brynner are also in shot...

    In other news, Argentina has won their first Copa America since the year I was born, 1993. Can't believe it's been that long!

    I was surprised Argentina had not won it in so long, finally Messi gets International Silverware, though I don't subscribe to having to win international honors to be considered one of the best.

    George Best was genius irrespective of his national team.

    At least the old and ridiculous narrative that "he doesn't care as much when playing with Argentina" can be buried for good. Anyone who vitnessed the celebrations yesterday could see how much it meant to him.

    I am more relaxed before the final than I thought I would be, been out all day so avoided the build up.

    I don't like Italy's dirty playstyle. Nasty from Insigne on Declan Rice.

    Just as long as the projected swarm of flying ants don't descend on the fans. They're not nice company, believe me! 🐜

    Back in 2007 they literally drove me out of a hay field I was working in. Never felt anything like it.
