1997 was also peak Glasgow music scene year with Belle and Sebastian, Mogwai, Arab Strap, and The Delgados. And smoking was still socially acceptable.

I was wondering about Space Jam but that was December 1996, so close. Daria also first aired in 1997.

There's something distinctly sickening about The Scum putting Raheem Sterling on their front page, considering the amount of racism they've directed towards him in the past. I was at the pub for drinks last week, and waking up the next day, slightly hungover and smelling of cigarette smoke (because we were outside) reminded me of the late 90s and early '00s in a bad way.

The really warped bit is that the only other paper to give Sterling the main front-page picture was the Financial Times.

When you're running around for ninety minutes in fairly hot weather, pacing yourself is pretty key. I did wonder if England was able to score two goals so fast for the simple reason that the Germans no longer had enough energy to stop them.

They definitely weren’t shite. There were some decent chances. First 15 were really boring but they picked up pretty quick, and I was feeling pretty good after the first half. I feel like it’s a bit of a ‘only watches football at NTs’ thing to say teams were shite til they started scoring.

The real masochist's match was sweden v ukraine afterwards, where the players started brutally injuring each other in extra time until they could all barely stand.

And yeah I do agree England played markedly better than Germany, though Germany was really bad this time around in general.

I knew it's going back a few pages but the Baddiel chat reminded me of the short lived sitcom he wrote "Baddiel's Syndrome" for Sky One which was godawful poo poo, some of the worst comedy I'd ever seen up to that point.

Even if it does turn me into the bore who will go on for hours about how black metal is surf rock with blast beats & effects pedals and that is why it is dope, or why At The Drive-In should've been the most important band of the 2000s but instead it was I dunno, The Killers or Coldplay or something equally grey

I'm no football fan but you can't be that shite and still manage to beat Germany, one of the tournament favourites, 2-0, and keep a clean sheet the whole tournament. gently caress, I've been in this country too long. I have opinions about bloody football now.

Bat Out of Hell II- Back into Hell. I was a teen and got a tape for my birthday even though I had no interest in music. Turns out I quite like fat middle aged men singing about their horny teenage years.

Germany really hadn't been favourites this time around, they've managed to lose to North Macedonia in the qualifiers. Then again they did beat Portugal who aren't doing badly.
