It's a game of two halves Brian.

Congratulations England, now finish this it's been a long time
Don't lose the finals ,that's a tougher one to lose then the semis, I still remember us losing the finals in 2010 against spain

Squeaky bum time.......

England starting XI:
Pickford, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Shaw, Foden, Bellingham, Kane.

Prediction Spain 3 - England 1

a reply to: gortex

I don't do predictions but.....we lose on penalties seems to be traditional?

Hopefully we will be at our peak tonight?

Especially if we can give Harry a few good crosses.

My cat Carl has come in to watch the game.

We've got our secret weapon.
Drake's Drum.
As we all know, he's "slung atween the roundshot in Nombre Dios Bay, and dreaming arl the time o' Plymouth Hoe", but always listening out for that sound.

Ah. The dirty Dons

I recommend this book, The Pyrates by the author of the Flashman books. Hugely funny, ignore the crap review, it's a riot!

"Praise for ‘The Pyrates’ ‘Its all there right down to a Dead Man’s Chest, cleavages that are everything they should be and characters in sea bootswho say nothing but “Arr!” and “Me Hearty!” in a plot that is wonderfully absurd.Financial Times ‘Fabulous…you’ll want to stay up all night reading this one.’Washington Post ‘The most wonderfully idiotic lovesong to swashbucklers ever set to Korngold trumpets. Fraser again proves himself the master.’New York Times Praise for ‘Black Ajax’: ‘Mr Fraser is a great historical novelist and in Black Ajax he is at the very top of his form. Damme if he ain’t.’Christopher Matthew, Daily Mail ‘This is not a flashy novel, wearing its learning noisily. It’s rigorous, intelligent, meticulously horrifying. Wonderfully well done.’Nicci Gerrard, Observer"

I'm rooting for Ol Blighty today.

I ate Marmite with my breakfast, to get some 'oomph', or whatever it says on the jar.
