And completely off current topic Marco Borriello turns 39 today. 

He had some very memorable on field moments and because he was ( still is) so very easy on the eye had some very memorable off the field moments too????

 

Happy birthday Marco.

There is a rumour that Southgate made his team play another 90 minutes against a make shift team of drunken Scottish supporters. The score was still 0 -0

Great squad management, 8 changes to the starting lineup (how good is it to see Verratti back) 3 remaing from the previous game so subbed off to give other a chance to make an appearance ..Mancini has absolute faith in his squad.. 

 

Top of the group without conceding...Never  been done before in Group stage since the examination of Euros. 

 

On we go.

Last nights games were off the hook. Great football, great tension, great games. 

England vs Germany...the ultimate showdown. 1966 , Tommy vs Fritz. Don't mention the war. 

5 pm on Tuesday you can rest assured nothing will be moving cept the bar men and bar ladies at the pub and the bookies. Got my ticket to the pub. fiver a pop. Pubs going to do recoup all their covid losses plus more.

So, it has come to this Gen.

From duels on Bikehub to duels on the Football field. 

Hope De Bruyne is ok. Damn porras bunch of dirty sods. Should have been a red card or 2. 

And, as the devil would have it i am travelling home during that time on trains so hope to get to watch on my Ipad. 

 

Bookies have Belgium as the underdogs. Interesting that. 

 

 

[IceCreamMan]

Gonna be epic

[Patchelicious]

Itaaaaaalia!!!!

 

bye Belgium!!! ????????????

[IceCreamMan]

Well played Gen. better side on the night, Lukaku really should have scored that second. 
 

italians last 20 minutes was a little cringeworthy though. But that’s football. 
 

Possible end of the golden generation.

Great final to look forward to. Italy looking very good and going to be difficult to break down, England lifted by 54 000 fans and everything to play for.
