The Euros

Fisherman will be along soon to retract the attack on England considering Wales didn’t earn their rations tonight☹️

Or maybe he's watching the submarine racing? 

Hats off to Austria for giving their best against Italy, but apart from extra time, I found it a very dull affair. (I wasn't watching it, Mrs ExT had the tv tuned to BBC One hoping Casualty would be shown )

Switzerland 3 ~~ 3  France             PENALTIES

Switzerland go through  

And Brian goes to bed  

Hope you slept well Brian, unlike a lot of French folks 

Yesterday being dubbed 'Magic Monday' and it certainly was entertaining. 

Question 1: When was the last time Roy Keane smiled? 

Question 2: When was the last time Roy Keane spoke with excitement/happiness in his voice?

I will be watching tonight from behind the sofa 

The difference in style and playing attitude between the earlier group matches and now these knock out games has been staggering. Maybe in future it should just be knock out from the word go (even with more countries, say 32 rather than 24, it would mean less matches overall.)

Can England show the same change in style? Well, given the evidence of recent pre tournament matches, I doubt it. But we live in hope (the eternal motto of the football club supporter! )

I really enjoyed yesterday’s games, think it helps when you’re not bothered which side wins.

Will definitely be watching the England game, be interesting to see his team selection. Would like to see a bit more creativity in the midfield, maybe.

Fingers crossed for a good result. 🤞

I'm getting very nervous now! 

The "boys in the studio" seem to think we've done ok but our build up is just so slow - we need quicker forward passes.

And with Rice & Phillips both now on yellow cards it's an invitation for the Germans to play on them.

Not quite "squeaky bum time" yet, but heading that way.  

Never, ever in doubt! 

Good win. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍👏
