Euro 2020

[Rita]

Cos Scotland have a point. I think if they win against Croatia they have a chance of finishing top three but I may be wrong.

Is that likely though? My son just explained to me that England are one of the the favourites to win this whole thing so not a good result for them.

 

[Alla]

Why are some of you not backing England? I mean, fair enough if you don't care much, but it seems like if some of you want them to lose?

 

[Rita]

Good result for England, not for Scotland but they still have a chance.

So it IS a good result for England in relation to making it to the next stage, but not in the grand scheme of things?

We were expected to win so it’s a bit of a shock.

 

[dmlaw]

Is there any chance England may fail to make it out of the groups?

Not really. Even if they lose their last game, they’ll have four points and it’s hard to imagine that won’t be enough for one of the best third place finishers at least.

 

[Peekaboo]

Scotland and England locked in an endless, pointless battle under the rain. Sums up the UK's history

 

[Alla]

So it IS a good result for England in relation to making it to the next stage, but not in the grand scheme of things?

It's a good result. After first round it doesn't matter if they won all their matches or not, so don't worry about it.

 

[Alla]

Well I think so, you're not asking the right person here, Rita

 

[dmlaw]

Why are some of you not backing England? I mean, fair enough if you don't care much, but it seems like if some of you want them to lose?

English football fans are notoriously dicks, so people who don’t care about football would mostly prefer that they lose.

Some of us are Scottish (or maybe that should be "North British" )

Because we're Scottish!

 

[Rita]

I think it goes a lot further than football. I live in Scotland so I was cheering for Scotland but I love England and have also lived there but am an Irish girl, but I assume we never qualified as I have never heard anything about Ireland, or am I getting confused with Eurovision?

 

[Rita]

Ireland didn’t qualify.

 

[Rita]

Some of us are Scottish (or maybe that should be "North British" )

North British? That’s a new one.

 

[COB]

Yeah ask dmlaw about it!

 

[Rita]

I sense some BIGOTRY vibes here and am
stepping well back.

 

[Kate]

Well I’m quite RELIEVED, though it could have gone either way.

 

[Kate]

The cunts in England shirts here seemed pleased when the one with the stupid hair came on.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Utter piss

 

[ButterTart]

BORE DRAW, that's the term I've just invented to describe it.

 

[Rita]

I may invest more time in this (I won’t) if this was boring. Generally, I assume that goals add to the excitement?

 

[Soldi]

I just wanted SOMETHING to happen. It seemed to be the same thing repeating every few minutes *one team gets it close and then fuck all happens*

 

[Dark Carnival]

Because we're Scottish!

WTG is SCOTTISH ?

 

[GNL]

I thought being English AND Scottish my dudes would win either way tonight but I see they both managed to lose.

 

[Rita]

WTG is SCOTTISH ?

So is @straightorbroken

 

[win_the_game]

Au contraire - I’m glad nothing happened and the expected drubbing never came to fruition.

 

[win_the_game]

WTG is SCOTTISH ?

Where did you think I was from out of interest?

 

[Rita]

Do some of you invest in 3 games a day? I think I would rather DIE.

 

[Dark Carnival]

England like the rest of them basic bitches

Gives me something to do at work.

 

[Rita]

I keep getting I AM ENGERLAND playing in my head when I see ENGLAND mentioned in the tune of I AM KIMBERLEH. Those boys have got me OBSESSED.

 

[Indie]

Frankly I want England to draw the next match, finish second in the group and enjoy the next round more.

If we win the group, we probably get Portugal in the next round. If we come second, we probbaly get Sweden. I know which I'd rather have.

 

[Rita]

Gives me something to do at work.

Your work must be TERRIBLE.

 

[Rita]

Do Scotland stand any chance in their next round?

 

[Indie]

Your work must be TERRIBLE.

If you want me to watch something more interesting, feel free to send nudes instead.

 

[Ellie]

Feeling quite smug tonight. All the football obsessed people at work predicting their scores earlier today after a meeting. I interjected at the end that it’ll be 0-0 “because it’ll be dull as expected” and they all scoffed at me like I didn’t know anything.

 

[Rita]

If you want me to watch something more interesting, feel free to send nudes instead.

In your DREAMS.

Braveheart on Channel 5 this evening. I have NEVER watched it.

 

[Rita]

I see this being a draw.

Did you see this in the scriptures?

This isn’t the daily thread my love
