Well tonight the old foes meet again, England v Germany in the knockout stage of the euros, I’ve listened to all the hype on tv and radio about how, this time, we can do it, most of the country will be glued to the match tonight, hoping, praying.
But, as always, it’ll go to penalties and we’ll miss one, or have one saved, ho hum, maybe the World Cup next year……
Germany haven’t been playing too well just lately and have just scraped through, England finished top of their group, so if we are going to do it, now’s the time… Good luck England, and keep it clean…
Well I shall graciously wish you the best of luck in the game. I won’t be watching it - not because I’m sulking about Scotland not being in it anymore, but the sun is shining and I’ll be outside.
I wonder why neither journos, politicians, nor OFF members can resist using “foe” for a competitor. Trump used it for the NATO member Germany. We all know about the negative connotations of the word.
I’ll be watching it although I’m not into (club) football. I wish England the best of luck. As someone said, Germany’s record in the Euro2020 hasn’t been very good.
I used to work in Wimbledon for BT and made things very hard to get anywhere while the tennis fortnight was on. Police stopping us from parking outside where we were supposed to work so customers complained. It was a nighmare fortnight for those who worked the area in all trades
