Looking forward to the final, technically on my self imposed rules I should support England but I also allow myself the veto if England become the team I have to follow. I think I shall abstain from supporting either side and just hope to see a good competitive match, and hopefully an entertaining one. 

You realise they still have the death penalty for treason?  Just saying : )

I did have a little chuckle at something I saw on Facebook when the semis were on, saying it was the ex-colonial semi finals with France, Spain, Netherlands and England haha. 

Also could have been interesting on the national anthem front if it had been Spain Vs Netherlands, because I think the Dutch anthem has a line that swears allegiance forever to the Spanish king? And also the Spanish anthem having no words (presumably to avoid the comments they make about England players who don't sing enough)

The death penalty was abolished in 1998

I think we’re going to win in normal time. 3-1 or 3-2.

Saka will do something good. Pickford will make a decent save. Kane doesn't score.

Game goes to pens.

In the words of Rob Burrow -  “in a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream”.

If we play well, we’ll beat them. As we have a better first 11 / squad. 

We have experience at this stage of a major competition on our side too. 

But having spent 40+ years being disappointed I’m ready for some more disappointment.

2-2 after ET, 5 all on pens, England victorious on the sudden death 

How’s that for a slice of fried gold?

Lot of people getting good use out of their England shirts around the shops, Espagne t shirts on the sale rack in Matalan. 

But whatever else happens this evening at least I don’t have to watch the match on ITV.

2-1 to Spain - ironically it may suit us if they score first
