OK, it's news headlines, but it's only a game.

That's how I feel too, Susan. It's all the noise I don't like either, as well as grown men's adolescent behaviour. So that makes us both grumpy ole women then.
Don't know if we should call it 'euphoria' or 'hysteria.'

In any game, both sides try to play their little tricks on the referee. Perhaps referees could start handing out yellow cards for this kind of behaviour, I don't know.
Denmark weren't completely innocent though. For example, what about the pass back to Kaspar Schmeichel within the first few minutes? As I understand it, England should have been awarded an indirect free kick just outside the six yard box. Instead, the referee waved 'play on'!

So l ask, are you enjoying the euphoria at the moment? Or aren’t you bothered, preferring to close your eyes and ears to it all?
My morale was significantly increased after the Germany game. Last night's game was a bit scruffy, but I think it was a fair result in the end.
Football is not all about loud male fanatics seeking to assert their national superiority using a football team as a medium. There is lots of geniune passion for the game itself. Having a team to support is of course a great bonus, but we must all remain aware that the losing team and its fans have feelings.
Also, I believe that the vast majority of the players themselves really do care about their fans. You can see this in the behaviour of a player who has just scored. He always wants to go to his fans first before celebrating with his team mates.
Don't know whether you saw the footage on the news this morning of Mason Mount giving his shirt to the little girl with her Dad in the crowd? This is what football is all about!
