June 29, 20213 yr I'm not in the under 30 bracket but I have never seen Germany as particular rivals - although 96 was the first tournament I ever followed. I find it quite cringe that Germany are referred to as rivals as it feels like an excuse for out of date war references under a sporting guise and everyone should have moved on a long time ago. They always did say that football replaced war between European nations 😁
June 30, 20213 yr Author I’m so hungover today, still in a bit of disbelief shock that we actually won in normal time.

June 30, 20213 yr The amount of news coverage following this has surprised me - with coverage showing the origins of Raheem Sterling in Brent and all for non - football watchers who wouldn’t immediately know him. The sort of thing you would expect following winning the tournament.
June 30, 20213 yr Author The amount of news coverage following this has surprised me - with coverage showing the origins of Raheem Sterling in Brent and all for non - football watchers who wouldn’t immediately know him. The sort of thing you would expect following winning the tournament. It’s a massive thing beating Germany in a major tournament to be fair. I’ve not seen much of the coverage but a lot of it is all psychological. It’s a bit like when certain football teams have horrendous records at certain grounds etc. - I’m pleased for Sterling. He gets a lot of unfair stick and he was the scapegoat for the horrendous tournament in 2016.
June 30, 20213 yr Yeh but it just feels like they won the tournament the way it was reported. Agree with the rest of what you said
June 30, 20213 yr No one in England would be able to sleep if England won the tournament. There would be car horns beeping throughout the night into the early hours :lol: , which reminds me that there probably wouldn't be an open top bus parade for whichever country wins Euro 2020 because of the pandemic. No doubt though that all social distancing rules will go out of the window amongst people on July 11th in the winning country.
