Good luck England! I hope you win, even though Italy have been the better team.
Please remember if you win the bragging right only extends to 4 years.  Only 3 years I suspect as it's a year late & probably only a year if a European nation wins the the World Cup.

It should be obvious, but the Uk is not a member of UEFA. The four associations of England, Wales, Scotland and NI are members of UEFA. Yes, so I gather. Ridiculous, isn't it? One country getting four bites of the cherry... Perhaps a single national team would actually win something a bit more often?

Whatever happened to the good old days when weekend matches kicked off at 3pm, which gave time for a pint after the match and then a chance to get home at a sensible time.

An Aston Villa fan is upset that he sent £2,000 to a complete stranger from Twitter for a EURO 2020 final ticket that never arrived. He appears to be even more miffed by the fact that lots of people are posting on line calling him an idiot.

Apparently 24,000 people have signed a petition to get the England Denmark game replayed because the penalty wasn't.

I've done exactly the same. You win either way then. What odds did you get? Bet £10 to Win £21, Big Hitter me. 😂 He-he, I got in a couple of days ago on Betfair Exchange and my tenner returns £21.50. Since then, Italy's odds have moved out slightly to 9/4, so a tenner now would return £22.50. First Italy goal, lay it off quick....! Worst result of all is a 0-0 at 90 mins. Boring no goals and stake down the drain.

He appears to be even more miffed by the fact that lots of people are posting on line calling him an idiot. It gets better, though. The tickets were £4k, but the arrangement was 50% up-front, 50% on arrival... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-57790171To be willing to spunk £4k on a pair of tickets that could be withdrawn because resale over face value is barred is daft. To be taken in by such an obvious scam is mind-meltingly stupid. To then tell the world all about your gullibility - ostensibly to claim it's to "raise awareness", but then to immediately grovel to the players to help you out...? <bangs head on table>

<bangs head on table> therein may lay the answer. Who knows whether he was really scammed, or whether the story is just a scam in an attempt to blag tickets from those wonderfully caring new age England players ?

True, but to be fair, it is reasonable grounds.

"he used money from his mortgage savings to pay for the tickets"It's always good to get one's priorities right.
