Somehow managed to speed run it back to Duisburg in two hours. Fuck being in that tram queue.
I'm back home after this, whoever is carrying the torch enjoy it!
At this point I feel like, even though it goes against all wisdom that ‘put your best players on and hope it works’ never works, I would just play 4141 and put our best players on and hope it works.
Got the train home and watching it there. Had a similar day, went up the tower and had a few drinks in that little deck chair bar before a couple and dinner in the old town.
Thought I’d leave it to the Germans and Scots tonight though, loads of Spanish out there too.
I’m in the Altstadt now. Just a nice area for having a drink and some food if you want.
Dreading the travel from Duisburg to Cologne on Tuesday. It’s going to be an absolute nightmare.
Manager coming out against the players is never a good sign.
In Southgate’s previous tournaments something we’ve never lacked is team spirit. Looks like this has finally gone here.
There’s fuck all ‘big club’ fans out here. I’ve met one Utd and one Spurs and that’s it. Fans of all over clubs though and a fair number of non-league lot.
Those clubs are just tourist attractions these days though.
We were absolutely shocking.
Called 1-1 before the game though. He always goes ‘safe’ in the second game after a win in the first as it means we’re basically through.
We need to look like we can turn it on though and there is little sign anything is there.
