Is it?

.....coming home?

I'm not a footy fan and have hated the bad behaviour of some hooligans over the years, but I will watch tonight. I am a big admirer of Gareth Southgate and all he has done for the England team, not just in skills and tactics but in attitudes too. Respect to him, he deserves a win.

All together now ....

Good Luck England!

I hope the fans behave well whatever the outcome

Hi Suzie.

We'll soon find out.

I don't think the fans are behaving too well so far.

Theres always a few to spoil things.

Hi Margaret, Yes, already 2 fights outside and elsewhere, bottle flinging and so much litter in Leicester Square I think. Some idiots drinking since 10am I expect.

I have yet to have one (drink) but might hunt down a G&T.

Half way and 1 up, so a chance for us. I hope we win not least because I fear angry fans might take out frustration against Italian fans.

I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching it! What's the point of 22 men running up and down after a ball for two hours and only two goals scored? I expect someone will say that was because they were "equally matched" but they weren't. If you look at the stats there's a big difference between the teams on possession and shots on goal. To have such a game settled in just a few minutes, they might as well have done that to start with instead of chasing after each other for two hours. The rules need changing, particularly the offside rule.
