I cant believe the last 2 days action. I hope the six gets points deduction.

I note this with resigned fatigue, still doesn't fix the shit that is the champions league, Oh the hoops you have to jump through to get in if you are a smaller league title winner, where fourth placed teams get in with ease, absolute fucking dogs dinner
I think there should be points deductions and I'd ban the clubs from European tournaments next season, maybe next time they will think before they allow madness to replace reason.

Wales got out of jail there, they didn't look too impressive. I think they may end up going out at the group stage.

Heartbreaking scenes in the Finland/Denmark game.
Hope Christian Eriksen pulls through.

England game this afternoon, probably their biggest test (much as I'd love it to be Scotland) and I suspect whoever wins this, tops the group.

Final tonight.
I'll be watching, honestly don't think England will win. They've done well to get to the Final, but I think Italy will do the business.
I would cheer on England, but unfortunately all the commentators and pundits are insufferable arsewipes. Rio Ferdinand especially.

I love a good football tournament and have watched as much of this one as I've been able to. Somehow though reaching the final doesn't seem to me to be the achievement it's being chalked up as. Playing all bar one game at home against sides England should be beating anyway doesn't really feel like a cause for public holidays. The Germany game was a significant moment, but getting through the semis by virtue of an own goal and a rebounded penalty felt more like a lucky escape than a team in control. England's slow controlling/passing play will suffer at the hands of Italy's speed tonight and I think we'll come unstuck pretty quickly.

It's been a very underwhelming performance from England, all jingoism aside if Scotland had an actual goal scorer up front I fancied we would have won. England are a team with some great individuals but they don't play as a team and it shows. Certain players work well with each other, but a few never click and you can see the understanding isn't there, hence why the passing play is so slow and controlling, as opposed to being fluid and quick.
Harry Kane has been awful this tournament, he looks like he is running on fumes. I still think you have an absolute bomb scare of a goalkeeper in Pickford. He's not really been tested and it shows.
Germany are a shadow of what they were, the fact that Joachim Low had to go back and recall players he's cast adrift tells you their issues right now.

Well that was a week.
Heartbreak on Wednesday night, was absolutely scunnered when Ramsey took that awful penalty. Thankfully yesterday we did the businesss and picked up our first Scottish Cup since 2009.

So we are on the Semi Finals of the most horrifically objectionable World Cup since the last one.
England out last night, not a surprise as I didn't think they would have enough to beat France. Very pleased to see Morrocco get through to the semi-finals.
I would absolutely love to see a Croatia v Morrocco final.

Mrs P wanted to watch last night which is why I had to leave the call so quickly. It did give me an hour to sit and fiddle with Junkheap though. I suspect this might be my toy of the year.

Had the BBC text commentary on the other computer wasn't fussed to watch it, as I knew the broadcast commentary would drive me nuts. The main reason why Scotttish fans adopted the anyone but England mantra, is due to the absolute arse that has been continually spouted by commentators and pundits over the years.

First old firm game of 2023.
We drew, but going into the game I thought we'd get pumped, so to be 2-1 up and lose a late goal, sicknener. SPL title race is done, if we'd won we'd have pulled them back to a 6 point lead. 9 is too big a gap to claw back at this stage.
