    For me, the two best sides in the tournament to the quarter-final stage met yesterday afternoon. France will need to be better than what we've seen from them if they're to get past Spain but, rather like England, they're finding a way.

    14 only?

    With Southgate in 4 tournaments. Wow.

    I would have guessed at more.

    I think we've only been in two penalty shootouts under Southgate and won them both so the other 4 are open play ones.

    Maybe we are the Greece of 2004 and Portuguese in 2016!

    50th anniversary of the World Cup Final Germany vs Netherlands 2-1

    [​IMG]

    50 years ago. Heroes for an 11 year old boy who was so nervous watching the match against the Netherlands that he has to run to the toilet every 10 mins.

    R.I.P Franz, Gerd, Bernd and Jürgen. Thx for the great memories.


    Sorry, for getting a bit nostalgic on this special day for me. Back to Euro 2024

    I haven't read much about the England fans in Germany? Have we been behaving for a change?

    Seems so.

    German police are probably very strong in their law and order .

    The anti English hate on German fb pages is huge, and very surprising tbf. The whining about the penalty decision is frankly pathetic. About 80% of Germans want Holland to beat us, and the Dutch hate the Germans ! Over 300,000 have signed a petition to have the Spain game replayed, no I'm not making this up ! You lost ffs, get over it.

    :laugh:

    btw: I read about the "petition". This is really ridiculous.

    But the other "facts"? Jesus Christ, I must be in the minority according to zippy. Maybe because I'm not on "German FB" pages? :laugh:

    And nobody in my circle of friends want the Dutch to win the match against England


    edit: Wasn't panja's question about the english fans and how they behaved originally? Tbh I didn't hear any negatives from them. Only read that there's some brawls between Turkish and Dutch fans yesterday.

    It was just for the Serbia game and was for both sets of fans, and of course was only in the stadium.
    It was also as much to do with the police getting intel that 500 Serbian ultras were looking to travel and target England fans as anything else.
