Mad props to our BOYS IN GOLD!
Lost in the League Cup Final on pks last night.
IMHO we were as good or better for most of the match.
Messi had a goal and one bounce off the post. He wasn't as big a factor as he could have been. Our D was pretty solid.

Spain have played well and better then expected this tournament.
Well deserved win for them 🥇
Sweden will meet them soon again in the (National League) qualification for Olympics 😅

Bravo.
Very well done England, - a fantastic tournament - and congratulations to Spain who were excellent.
Wonderful.
You know how they say that you cannot be what you cannot see - or, it is difficult to conceive, or imagine, otherwise - well, when I was a kid, I think I would have given almost anything to have been able to see something like this.

Everton are making a hard afternoon of it. 2 goals down after 24 minutes. I don’t see a way back from this.
I DID started to play football myself very early, at 11-12 👶
I started in a local small team. But I became friend with a player who played in the national team, when she visited and guest played with us in a training match, as this smaller club was her mother club.
Sh-t that was a level change. She enlisted me to her club, and so I moved closer to that place as a 15 yr old, and my *splendid football career* started. Ah, well I was not so very talented, except for my physic, willingness to train harder than most, and maybe a quite good eye for the game. Play against me was a tough thing though.
Well done to Spain, they contained England very well. From an England performance point of view I think it was one of their worst games. I think Sarina will be gutted because it is history repeating itself, wins the Euros and loses the WWC with the Netherlands (beaten by USA in 2019) and wins the Euro's and loses the WWC with England (beaten by Spain in 2023).
Now that Spain have won the WWC I believe there will be questions asked as to how does a team that gets hammered in the group stages (beaten 4-0 by Japan) go on to win the WWC. Not many teams come back from a loss like that but Spain did.

Four down, now.
Granted, it is still very early days, but they have been flirting with trouble for the past few seasons and have only only avoided relegation in recent years because a few teams were actually worse than them.
Happy days. Hope their heads go down now. Paqueta gets booked. I bet there was some money riding on that!
Hahaha.
I hope he’s learnt his lesson lol.
Ive got a feeling if found guilty he might get longer ban than Ivan Toney.
Well it’s not like they haven’t got strength in depth is it?
Not only have (the absurdly amply resourced) Chelsea missed a penalty, but West Ham now lead, by two goals to one, thanks to the excellent Michail Antonio.
Down to 10 due to a really stupid challenge. It was so late, I could have got there sooner! Aguerd should know better. Be lucky to hold on.
WestHam 3-1 Game Over.
That was tense watch for Hammers.
Brilliantly win for Hammers especially with 10 men for most of the second half.
I think Arsenal dodged a bullet with Mudryk.

Carney Chukwuemeka went off with knee injury. He tried to play on but left knee said no more.
And now it’s 3-1 to the hammers. No matter how many millions Chelsea spend, I hope it’s many years of overpaying for players and under delivering on the pitch.
