England have got to a third European final. Of course the women’s team have won the competition, but the men’s team have yet to do so. There will be many who will point out that England were lucky as we did not deserve the penalty that was awarded, but I think that our players were as surprised by the decision as the Dutch ones were.
But I remember the match in 1993 when Ronald Koeman, the current manager of Holland, should have been sent off for a professional foul when he was the last man, and then, while still on the pitch scored a free kick. We did not qualify for the World Cup then so I would like to say that an injustice was corrected.
Fingers crossed that we are the better team a Sunday and win the final! A view that I think is shared by all where I work.
