Yes, it's not England vs Italy tomorrow, it's England vs Earth :)

Hopefully UEFA's referees won't turn it into England vs Common Decency, where common decency loses... again.

A trauma?

Well, I don't know and I don't really care, as long as Italians wipe the floor with them tomorrow.

The only thing that worries me is UEFA and their referees... :-/

Some people can't lose - the defeat brings out the worst in them. In case of England, apparently, it is victories that bring out the worst. A sad spectacle.

"People have tried to invade us", coming from a guy whose fellow countrymen invaded and enslaved half the world. What a cheek!

Physical violence, spitting on children, laser beams into goalkeepers' face, and now cheap chauvinism on top of all that. How sad to see once proud England turning into a xenophobic, hatred-filled sh*thole. Oh, well...

Hate to quote myself, but...

they will be fined some peanuts money (50k euro or something) and it will all just blow over

...and today's news:

UEFA punished England for the behaviour of their fans in Euro semi-final. English FA was fined 30k euro

sport.interia.pl/raporty/raport-me-euro-2020/aktualnosci/news-anglicy-ukarani-przez-uefa-jest-oficjalna-decyzja,nId,5350762

:)

According to Danish media, Danish supporters were assaulted and spat onto before the game during which English "fans" booed the Danish anthem, verbally abused Denmark's supporters and repeatedly tried to blind Schmeichel with laser beams.

30k euro for that... and Hungarian FA was fined 100k for racist chants, and three games at home without supporters. UEFA is a joke.

My passport says I'm British and my name says I'm Polish.

Yes, that's the story of our nation. I spent three years in Ireland myself, but could never leave Poland permanently - I'm too addicted to this country. :)

guys with the bigger frame to team up and compete against each other

Nothing wrong with that but they should take off all those tons of medieval armor and play rugby like men.

A sport for wusses - all that protective clothing and helmets, lol! Rugby - now that's a game

Exactly! I wrote my response before I read yours. :)

Not "da".....I think that's russian

I think Romanians use "da" as well.

American football

American football is kinda like grape-nuts, neither American (it originated from European rugby) nor football.

If you have enough, you can buy a football team or at least follow your favorite one in your own private jet.

Hmm... or you can buy a rival team and lead them to an epic downfall. You've got a point there ;)

I can think of only three things more important than football in life: God, family and fatherland (for obvious reasons, so I won't explain).

What else could be more important?

Job? Yer havin a laugh... maybe if you are a Nobel-prize-winning scientist whose discovery can change the world, rock star or a top Hollywood actor. Maybe...

However, 99,9% of people in the world have menial, boring jobs with ZERO effect on the world at large (no matter if they are a street sweeper or a medium company CEO), from which they dream to retire as soon as possible.

Career? What does this word even mean? People won't remember exactly what you did or even care one year after you retire, and in 10 years it will be completely forgotten (unless you're a famous writer, scientist etc. - 0,001% of people). Those who sacrifice their time, health and family relations for their so-called careers are only moderately intelligent (to put it mildly).

Money? Nope. Most "needs" that people in the first world have these days are not genuine but rather invented or forced upon them. If one has enough to support his family on a decent level then struggling hard to get more and more is nonsensical. After all, we only live for 80 years or so, so what's the point of wasting your life to chase after money?

Health? Yeah, right! I would be infinitely more healthy if I wasn't a football supporter (imagine supporting Polish NT!). I would have healthier nerves, digestive system and would probably consume significantly less alcohol, so that would give me a chance to extend my lifespan from approx. 80 to approx 83-84, but I would miss on all the emotions and all the drama, all the love and elation and all the heartbreak and hate. Not worth it. :)

So, yeah, the below list...

1. God (that's a question of eternity, after all, not mere 80-90 years in this vale of tears).
2. Family (close friends are counted in this category as well)
3. Fatherland.
4. Football.
(for atheists it's 3Fs - Family, Fatherland, Football :))

OK, so this is a Londoners take on the game.

Living in a stable doesn't make you a horse. ;)

So, all you England haters

FORZA ITALIA!!! :)

Football is the most important non-essential thing in the world.

What do you mean "non-essential"?

I don't expect fireworks from a 36-year-old forward, but it will be interesting to see Podolski finally playing for his beloved boyhood club.

Anyway, I've heard that there has been a last minute change of the VAR referee for the Euro final...

The fact that the Dutch "referee" didn't even take 15 seconds to take a look at the situation on video replay is nothing short of scandalous.

As for the English "fans" - one of the wankers used laser beam to blind Schmeichel during the penalty...

i.postimg.cc/QM6dS7fz/01.png

... what a bunch of sorry *^%#$%.

Hasn't it always been that way?

It has but VAR has aggravated the situation even more.

How often are international referees disciplined for poor/biased performance?

Not nearly often enough.

I watched the "penalty" situation again today, with calm head.

Daylight robbery.

The VAR system was supposed to eliminate the referees' mistakes (or "mistakes"). It didn't. If anything it aggravated
the situation. When "the wrong team" has a faulty goal accidently awarded, then the VAR system is always there to point
out the mistake and cause the disallowment of the goal. However, when "the right teams" scores a faulty goal or has
an idiotic "penalty" awarded, then the venal referee can simply decide that he doesn't wish to see the video replay.

Absolutely disgusting. This is not football anymore.

Farage is probably now talking on some British TV that it's all thanks to Brexit - "we left the nazi EU and look what happens - first major tournament final in 55 years!". *rolls eyes*

"...and the previous one was outside the EU as well! Coincidence? I don't think so".

Schmeichel is a great penalty specialist - referee couldn't allow the game to go into penalties. And he didn't. Well done.

*ironically clapping*

There should be something in football like video challenge in volleyball or tennis (let's say two challenges a game for each team).

They aren't. They think they are the best and deserve it all (home advantage, no away fans, and "kind" referee). No embarassment there.

I wonder what the Brits paid the UEFA

It's simply a rich and influential federation, and they haven't won anything in a while...

They played all their games but one at home. As I said, ri-di-cu-lous.

Quatar anybody?

...and Russia before that. Logically North Korea and then Iran are next in line.

Italians now...

They should refuse to play this game - no point. Someone decided that England is to win the championship, and referees will make sure that it happens.

Michał Listkiewicz - former international FIFA referee - is just saying on TV that there was definitely no penalty.

They play at home, with virtually no guest fans and they are getting vital help from the referee as well. That penalty was a gift to England. Scandalous...
