    Refusal to get involved in wars, the last remaining thing to eradicate if we want to claim to be the most advanced species on earth.
    Never colonised any other country.
    Great standard of living.
    Fine chocolate.
    Great scenery.
    Good cheese.

    They've a lot to be proud of imo

    Loving these victories of determination, commitment and teamwork over CVs, egos and reputations.

    Hope that trend ends now, obviously.

    Spain's first equaliser yesterday ... why wasn't it disallowed (or at least VAR-ed) for offside?

    HIGHLIGHTS | Spain and Croatia play out 8 goal thriller! | Euro 2020 - YouTube

    Check out the goal at about 1.00 minutes.

    Isn't Morata offside?  Or has the law changed?

    No-one has mentioned it.

    Didnt look offside when the cross came in

    Guess they then decided that he wasnt interferring with play when the shot for the goal came back in, as he wasnt trying to obstruct the Goalkeeper's line of sight, and actually looked to be trying to get out of the way.

    Morata is in the six-yard box, about halfway to the goal line when the shot is struck ... and arguably borderline 'socially distanced' from the goalkeeper.

    Not interfering?

    I'm just amazed that it hasn't even been mentioned.

    Apart from the penalty save during the game last night (although it was a poor shot to be honest), I couldn’t believe how poor Lloris was with penalties. He didn’t even move for two of them.

    So 8 clean sheets in our last 9 games and not conceded for some 600 minutes. That is the way Southgate will continue to play until such time as he finds us in a position where we have to chase the game. It's Mourinho's pragmatism over Guardiola's adventure. Whether that will work against the best teams remains to be seen.
    Make that 9 clean sheets in 10. We've seen the likes of Portugal and France trading blows and they are home already. We are a throwback to the Italian sides of a bygone era and that is the way Southgate will play until he feels he needs to change it. As he did today.

    Feel drained, not sure if I'll be able to watch the entirety of the Sweden v Ukraine game

    Could barely manage my dinner when it was 0-0 in the England game

    It’s by far the worst stadium in Glasgow, I include Patrick Thistle in that list.

    To be fair they have restrictions like Wembley. A full Hampden is a good atmosphere.
    I think the Seville games win worst so far.

    Don’t think Hampden is even selling out the vastly reduced capacity though. The Czech Republic v Croatia match I went to apparently only had an attendance of circa 5,000!

    You could get tickets yesterday for this game on the UEFA website for £50
  • So far Sweden v Ukraine quite entertaining, both teams looking to attack not too much sideways/backwards passing.

    That's surprising mate. Is it coz of quarantine rules or what?

    Poor defending for the goal, both of the cross and of the shot

    So far I would be happy to see England face either of these, but preferably Ukraine as Sweden can change gear, but I feel Ukraine are at 100% already.

    Hardly any of the cheaper tickets (Scottish people like cheap!), no refreshments inside - even soft drinks, it’s not a great stadium unless you’re there watching a big Scotland match or a cup final and (for the match I went to) it was England v Scotland an hour after the final whistle. Guessing they’re all contributing factors.

    So no teams from the apparent strongest group went through.
