England’s momentum in the Euros

England’s momentum in the Euros. 

As someone who doesn’t watch football & aren’t really interested, I was amazed by England’s performance in the Euros. Euro 2020. ⚽️🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

In Group D, England won easily against Croatia and Czech Republic. As for Scotland, well it was not a draw. Not really an great performance. At least both teams tried their best to score a penalty. 🥅⚽️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇭🇷🇨🇿

Then Round of 16, England defeated Germany. 2 nil. 

I didn’t think England would be able to pull it off by winning a match against Germany. Especially with past matches, it’s always England loses to Germany. At least it’s first time for long time since winning FIFA World Cup 1966 that English finally won against Germans. ⚽️🇩🇪🙂

Then England would went to defeat Ukraine in Quarter Final and Denmark in Semi Final. 🇺🇦🇩🇰

Now that is a good strength for England. Football is definitely coming home. Only if football doesn’t come home to Rome as England is prepared to face Italy in the final tomorrow on Sunday 11th July 2021. 🇮🇹

Although I was recently stunned by football hooliganism. Number of controversies regarding football hooligans (particularly England fans) From booing small German girl to using laser aimed at the Danish goalkeeper & booing national anthems (& booing their own football players for taking a knee against racism and racial injustice), England is fined £25,500 (€30,000) by UEFA. That’s why I don’t pay much attention to football. Only in some events like Euros & FIFA World Cup. I even shared it on social media platforms that some of England fans were on top of the buses in Central London (as far Covid is concerned). When it to football, booing is only done in matches (which I have no issues) but at national anthems (German, Danish), it is not right.

I do not want that to overshadow England’s success in the Euro championship. We the football fans and non football fans (like myself) really do need to be better than this. Being better than despicable behaviour. All I want to see for the Euros final is all positive. Not negative. 

I see greatness in England. Because of that, I am on team England so I hope and pray that England can finally win the Euros for first time ever. 😀

It is first time for very very long time for England since 1966 World Cup final. I hope the English football players (Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane & others) can pull it off successfully by scoring many penalties as possible so that we can party like 1966 (in a responsible and sensible way since we are still in the Covid pandemic). Now many people wants the day to be public holiday in case if England does win the Euros against the Italians as I read about the petition & all that. Plus everywhere I go, I’ll see the English flags as a support for England doing very well in the Euros. 

Gareth Southgate (England’s football manager) will definitely be satisfied at last. 25 years since Euro 1996 semi final (when England hosted the Euros) when he was a footballer. Good to know that there is greatness in him & the team (England) that he is managing. 

So very best of luck to England. 🤞

It’s coming home, it’s coming home, it’s coming. Football’s coming home. 🎶🎵🎤
