Bottles & missiles thrown in Leicester Sq
At least it’s happening in London rather than some other European capital
If #England win or lose, it might be wise to stay clear of Trafalgar Sq / central London tonight

Ystdy, an #England “fan” revealed the hotel where the #ITA team were staying & tweeted
“If #Italy’s hotel isn’t kept up all night by fire alarms & fireworks on Saturday I’ll be massively let down”
This is what happened👇

It teaches us about team work, fair play & that some things are more important than winning
At the EURO2012 #ENGvITA match, an #England fan dropped his pants to try & put off a penalty taker

“Footage of a nude man waving an #England flag while attempting to windmill his chipolata dick in the car park of PC World in Wembley is a better metaphor for Britain’s attitude to the world under Johnson than any satirist could devise.” @brokenbottleboy
From Pelé’s sublimity in 1970 to Maradona’s Hand of God in 1986, Gascoigne’s tears at Italia ’90 to Zidane’s head-butt in 2006, football has many lessons to offer about the human condition & our individual & collective responsibilities & to one another. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
Chaotic footage from Wembley (via @RaveFootage)
Not entirely sure what is going on here
Surely fans aren’t really trying to get into the stadium without tickets?

Hundreds of people without tickets pushed past barricades & stewards in an attempt to get into Wembley stadium
A BBC presenter - who described the fans as “boisterous” - said no one without a ticket got in but “the stadium was locked down for 40 minutes”

Scenes of crowds on Wembley Way, in Leicester Sq & in pubs across the UK are worrying given the spike in #COVID19 cases
There were 31,772 new cases today &
26 deaths - a spike of 27% in a week, & the highest since 10 March. #DeltaVariant #JohnsonVariant

Do #England fans know:
* the St George flag 🏴 was originally the flag of Genoa
* St George, was a Roman soldier of Greek & Palestinian origin
* the three lions have their origins in France
* Italians mistook Carrie Symonds for @BorisJohnson’s carer #EURO2020 #EnglandvsItaly

Fair play to the big fella!

Shameful but sadly predictable
#England fans booing #Italy’s national anthem & booing Italians on the ball.
It’s hard to tell from the TV coverage how many England ‘fans’ were booing, but this is classless & entirely unnecessary. #Euro2020Final #EURO2020 #EnglandvsItaly

Extra time! #EnglandvsItaly
This video appealing to “a small minority of England fans” not to vandalise Italian independent businesses - whether #England win or lose - is a gag, but one based on a real threat of hooliganism. #EURO2020 #eng #ITA

This is not a time to apportion blame
BUT...we do need to ask whether the govt jinxed #England
“The Curse of Liz Truss”
“The Hoodoo of Zahawi”
“The Evil Eye of Patel”
“The Jinx of Johnson”
Why didn’t @theurigeller stop them? #EnglandvsItaly #Euro2020Final #EURO2020 #eng #ita

To put things into perspective, this was only the Euros
European Cup matches are more important than intn’l friendlies but less important than World Cup Qualifiers
The World Cup is the only tournament that really matters
Boris Johnson should perhaps stay away from Qatar 2022

“Remember, it’s only the Euros. A nothing trophy. Compared with the World Cup, it’s the difference between winning Queen’s & winning Wimbledon...If we’re going to win anything, let’s save it for next year, eh? When proper teams will be playing.” @gilescoren on #EnglandvsItaly
“I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home”
Football holds a mirror to the soul of our society. We must not shy away from what we see #England

Football may well have been invented in Scotland (records show it was being played there in 1497) but we didn’t used to care
Watching footage of the 1966 World Cup final, one is struck by the sea of Union flags in the crowd
What does #Euros2020 say about the state of the Union?
