My walk home last night coincided with extra time and, I think, penalties so it was at once the quietest walk back and the noisiest. The streets themselves were empty of cars and people, but every last pub and cafe or any place of public congregation with the blue glow of a television was thronged.
Every few moments the relative quiet was pierced by joyous or tortured exclamations that gradually bled into each other. By the end of my walk they were the same and I was hard-pushed to work out what the result was.
As a pseudo Scot who cares not a fudge for football, it was a lonely experience, but also quite a magical one.
I don't hope that England do badly*, but by fuck you cunts will be insufferable for decades if you win.

My personal pet theory, as mentioned beforehand, is that the machinations of world order will somehow conspire to make it an England vs. Russia final, with England edging a win, thereby cementing the virtue of Brexit and isolationism, whilst pushing a favourable Russian agenda but keeping them in their geopolitical place. Wit hall the Royal shit this year, Queenie and her Lizard chums are using all the soft power they can to maintain the illusion of relevance in our small isle.- I can't stand the Scottish thing of supporting Whoever- Isn't- England. I feel it's meant more poisonously than Scots would like to let on.detritus
- England are due to meet Russia in the semi final. France in the final. Most countries have a single sworn enemy. We have half the globe.Fax_Benson
