That was my nickname with my uncles when I was younger cos I was such a stat boff

It was a great series that is much missed. The happy 90's ended to soon. I like how it is still a touchstone. I've hated almost everything since. soccer am? shove it. footy brekkie with tim and god knows who, in the bin! football focus, yeah, focus on lfc, ta ra!

That win vs the Netherlands has made a bit of history I believe, first time an England team has reached a Euros final of varying age/gender levels in 5 consecutive years

2021 - men’s senior
2022 - women’s senior and men’s U19
2023 - men’s U21
2024 - men’s senior and women’s U17
2025 - men’s U21

England are becoming an established force at international level now. Just got to get over the line at senior level now, which is very difficult

hm, I think that impression would change if you lived there a bit longer. But fair enough. I think niceness and cleanness is to love though, mate

Where in Germany are you from mate?

Wait.

Hang on a sec.

Women's Euro's 2025 starts Wednesday.

So, When does the u21's final happen and the abomination club world cup semis and final? Could we have 3 tournaments all broadcast at the same time vying for viewers? Wimbledon week? Audiences are being taken for a ride here...

Needless to say, I won't be watching these abominations because of the appalling Infantino, Harvey Elliot, and Eni Aluko.

Euro U21 final is tomorrow evening

Yup, our old friends the Germans again, we lost too them in the group stages. we haven't been great at the back in some games so it will be interesting to see how the CB get on with Woltemade who has been the standout player of the tournament.

Yeah I haven't watched much of this tournament but from what I've read I'd imagine the Germans to be the favourites. They've been doing well again at youth level recently so I'd expect them to be a force again at senior level soon (unfortunately)
