so was i

u have a complex relationship with the old country lol

admittedly italy/ireland was a bit of a sham given that italy team and belgium/sweden prob featured better football and footballers

you have no romance in your soul

hey now i watched and was cheered

I watched Belgium Sweden too, as a neutral was the obvious choice. Did turn over for the last 5 mind of Italy Ireland and that 5 minutes was pretty compelling.

i was gonna switch over if italy scored tbh

England, Germany, Spain, Italy, France all on one side of the draw. Croatia and Belgium on the other side. Unusually lopsided.

have you watched England?

Instantly regretted lining them up with 'big names' tbh

:D

angleterre is quite long

I didnt see the goal.

The kids next door, theyre that kinda magic age for a summer tournament, three of them between 8 and 11, no girls no work schools out and nothing matters but this.

They watch tv on terrestrial feed. Three seconds ahead of me.

One. Hoolahan has the ball at his feet on the right.

Screams. Like all the lost boys at once. Hunh?

Two. The ball's in the air. I can see a green shirt in its flight path if it misses that defender.

Screams are going on long. Longer than the penalty shout. Longer than the near misses. Theres no edge to them, just sheer jubilation.

Three. The ball is on Brady's head. I don't see the goal. I'm already crying.

<3

if that had been your poetry competition entry i might have voted for it

now now

Needs to be a limerick

And amn't being thick

74/1 for an Ireland v Icelan quarter final

Viking grudge match.

r & c thrashing it out for possession in the middle of the word

We are shit but sometimes we beat good teams one nil. Never seen a game in which one side was given so much and achieved so few chances.
