1 am PDT: Eleven hours to go until the Euro 2020 played in 2021 Final. I'll try to do a live update (tormenting Tuan L or Giacomo G) although the total goals tiebreaker won't affect the top 4 (current total: 5) but will decide if my
Futbol Fabone Twelf finishes 47th or 48th (no more than 3 goals!). ENG is a
slight favorite at approx 1.6:1, playing at home, with an over/under of 1.5 goals.
Noon PDT: I love how all these matches start at the top of the hour. Easy to predict where the matches are (e.g., 45 after the hour should be nearing halftime, all finish within 2 hours with no extra time). Expecting 65K in the stadium.
2': 1:57 in, ENG scores on a great finish off by Luke Shaw a great cross. Footballsack looks good now! ITA is behind for the first time in 18 matches.
13': Rain! But cool at 67F. Here in LA, 94F and rising. ENG still attacking which is nice. Can't find my Becks ENG jersey but maybe it doesn't matter (wore my ARG jersey and ARG won yesterday). I do have a couple ITA jerseys but rooting for ENG today! Although I love blue, I still prefer ITA's white... with the horizontal graphics of Puma logo and ITA crest with Italia underneath, it reminds me of a racing jersey (maybe I have
Ford v Ferrari on the brain, great movie) for some reason, it looks classic and slick. I don't care for ENG's home (white) jersey of the Nike and crest in the middle vertically. Looks odd. And their blue away is just an alternate mess (though maybe I might get one... cause blue ;-)).
