Going to the final I think Rashford must play, or at least Sancho instead of Saka. Rashford would be better because of his explosive speed and great control for long balls behind defense, also his long range shooting could make problems for the keeper with deflections. Not sure if there is another player in the team that could make such powerful shots that could shook keepers when games are too tactical and defensive.

I know he has two on-going injuries, not sure what's happening behind the scenes.

I worry about Rashford running himself into the ground. He's been playing through injuries for a while now. Hopefully he can get that operation he needs and gets to rest up for a bit. If that means he's not available for United for the first few weeks of the season so be it.
 
Was there contact? Yes.

Was it in the box? Yes.

Did said contact make Sterling trip? Yes.

Was it a penalty? Debatable. But the ref, and let's not forget VAR , said it was a pen.

Cry more.
The contact did not make Sterling trip. He would have been tripped by a feather.

And refs and VAR have been flawless so far, right?

Can you prove without a doubt that the contact didn't make him trip? No.

Refs and VAR have been pretty good during this tournament. Certainly better than prem VAR.

I'm sorry you hate England and are bitter they're in the final, but there is nothing anybody can do to change that.

Looking at the crowds celebrating in the UK - mega cluster incoming throughout Europe. Hope having a few guys kick the ball was worth fucked up summer with restrictions.

I was actually rooting for England to win because there are a lot of Utd players in there. But come on cheating is cheating.

You're going to have to prove beyond doubt that there wasn't enough contact for Sterling to trip, and he did indeed dive in order to get a pen.

The fact that the ref gave that dive a penalty kick makes me ashamed for my nationality lol.

I hope Kuipers does a better job in the finals. Jesus.

[L'Equipe] Zidane is willing to wait for French NT coach position. He has turned down many offers so far. After witnessing the team's failure at Euro 2020, he doesn't envisage anything but the NT job

[Simon Stone] UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin says there will never be a Euros with so many host cities again: “I would not support it anymore. I think it is too challenging and in a way not correct that some teams have to travel more than 10,000km and others 1,000km.”



Everyone knew it was a huge mistake before hand.

It's gonna be glorious and emotional. I hope they don't bottle it. I've supported England since 2000 and been laughed at for 21 years. Hope tomorrow is the day that I start laughing. I think it won't stop here, even if they don't win, hopefully will, they'll be among the very favorites in the next World Cup. This English squad has a very healthy depth, some aren't starting and they're among the best in the world like Dean Henderson, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Foden, Trippier, Grealish, Chilwell, Calvert-Lewin, and even Mason Greenwood.

So much youngsters that will get better from now going forward. I hope tomorrow marks the true golden generation of England as they've taken some of the latest world cups in the younger stages and they're just coming to the top level.

I just want to point out before the final that everyone is invited to the official Football Thread (I'll make a new one before next season start):
