Battle lost
12 May 2024
No pun intended - I don't know if another title would be more appropriate ... but I reckon we have to work with what we get! I do understand that England and its fans had quite a lot to look forward too. It is 2024 and there the Champions League final is in Wembley - but no English team is going to be there to challenge for the trophy (you got a German and a Spanish team left).

But a couple of years ago, the national team was able to reach the finals. Against Italy - one game, everything is possible! But the structure .. the way things were prepared seem in hindsight to not have been the best.

If you know the outcome (and I knew who had won the game, but only remembered while watching what occurred after the game was over), you may not be too surprised ... but we get interviews and snippets from the day and the days leading up to it. I still think as already said that the title can be perceived as a bit deceiving ... but that aside, it is horrible what some "fans" did after the final ... you win and you lose together! I reckon some things will never change ... and with social media giving certain people a platform ... well it won't be changing in the near future.

Let's try to spread love - even in the time of "defeat" ... not easy to do, but better to stick together and give each other some comfort, rather than spread hate ... which should be a take away from this, not sure if it really is done in a way, you feel it serves that message .. or any message of that kind.
