Watching Romania vs. Netherlands  right now, and one thing that strikes me is the huge support for Romanians.

Would they need to pay the same price as everyone else or do they get their tickets cheaper because they're a pauper country?

 

ETA:

1-0 to the Dutch.

Same price but a large Romanian population reside in Germany

They must have done some amount of begging to get that kind of money.

Spain beat England 2-1.  Spain are champions.  ENGLAND WIN NOTHING AGAIN.

 

That's all folks.

The equaliser made the late winner oh so much sweeter.

Just as they were thinking they'd got to extra time, and then nearly scoring in a goalmouth stramash, they were daring to dream...

Sixty Years of Hurt incoming.

Listening to all the comments on the usual outlets from the pundits etc. has been absolutely glorious.  Its as good as the game itself.  Despite all this none of them come to the conclusion that were a slightly better than average team and they rode their luck all tournament, their supposed 'world class' players werent world class at all, and their championship level manager overachieved spectacularly by taking a team that only scored seven goals all the way to the final.

Just like last time, i was dreading this lot getting to the final - just in case they win - however its like Rangers getting to a Europa League final, the aftermath and the delicious tears afterwards is well worth it.
