I'm about 10 mins walk from there. Been busy as well with the games they've shown so far. There's a bar as well

Yeah went down for the Slovakia game and then took my 2 year old down for the Switzerland game, good set up tbf. 
 

looked good after the Netherlands game but I was working that night

[Saxondale]

At home, mindful of the fact I’m starting work at 5am on Monday morning and need to be up at 3.30.

Has there not been a big outdoor fan zone setup somewhere in Leicester with a jumbo screen? Abbey park/Victoria park etc?

seems like a missed opportunity or would that only happen if it was a World Cup final?

I'd imagine the short turn around time from the semi final meant it wasn't possible. But that would have been amazing.

Still in two minds what to do tonight. 
 

Part of me wants to be out in a place with an atmosphere but the other part of me doesn’t want to be surrounded by all the arseholes that are already on their way to spoons before tucking into their Charlie later. There’s also the probability of getting soaked in bar and ridiculous queues for a drink. 
 

Watching it at home is winning for me at the minute.

Was going to go to local but then remembered none of them actually like football, they are all coked up and mad as a box of frogs … staying home 

[wardyfox86]

At home with the wife and kids. Mum is NI/Scottish and dad is Welsh. But I'm born and raised in England and consider myself English. It has, however, left me with very limited passion for International football.

 

I tend to just follow whichever Leicester player is playing for a home nation.

Why not go out for a few pre match beers to take in some of the atmosphere and then head home if you're not feeling the crowd that is out where you are

[Lako42]

At home

 

I've got a massive TV and a beer machine with 11 pints in it. 

 

And only one complete tosser in attendance 

[RowlattsFox]

Finals should be no later than 5pm. 

Even if we win tonight, it'll be a bit underwhelming for me as I head straight to bed

Never understood European games kicking off at 7.45/8.00pm kick offs (Even in Champions League games for example), it seems very UK/England centric as most of Europe are an hour ahead are they not? 

 

I guess it's coincidental, i'm sure they don't pander purely to UK/England time.

 

There may be other reasoning and I may be showing ignorance here but you'd have thought they'd go with a majority of those an hour ahead of GMT/BST. (Unless theres less than I thought ahead of us)

If I’m out I’m staying out  and I’m not to fussed about pre-game it’s more the game and after should we win.

Happy Holland...joint in one hand Beer in the other 🚬 🍺

3pm kickoff here, off to the local brewery. There’s probably a joke somewhere about Londoners, Glaswegians, and Americans all walking into a bar…

The warmer parts of Europe wouldn't want to play much before 9pm, it's still too hot, I don't know how much of Europe that actually applies to without looking though

[tom27111]

2 weeks annual leave started about 2 hours ago.

 

I've barely touched alcohol this year, but I've got 18 cans of Stella in the fridge and I fully intend to finish them all tonight
