Bit of a nightmare trying to watch it this morning. Had a busy weekend and a big work day ahead so just couldn’t do the 4am start. Decided to get up a 6 to watch bit delayed before work. It was on both BBC and ITV and I’ve used both with a VPN or DNS settings many times, although they can be a bit hit and miss as to whether they work (BBC did work for earlier games). Both a miss this morning and after half an hour faffing about with restarting router, devices, DNS settings etc and after much swearing I gave up on that and downloaded the UEFA app again in desperation hoping it would let me watch the live stream from the start even though they don’t provide the on demand replays – figured it should still be going as would either be in extra time or trophy celebrations by then.
Thankfully I was able to cover the screen so I could only see the slider and go back to the start. That worked until the live stream ended and then it died so I got to about 60 minutes. Had another go at BBC and ITV and still a no go so went to the trusty reddit football highlights page and someone had already uploaded the full match (BBC version) seemingly within minutes of it finishing. Time to get ready for work by this stage so downloaded it and managed to watch a bit more on the train then the rest at lunch time at work – meant it had to be a muted celebration! In hindsight I should have just got up at 4 and watched the way that was guaranteed to work but just needed the extra bit of sleep today. Bit of a shame UEFA didn’t also have the on demand replays but can’t complain too much when it’s free.
Yet another iconic legendary moment for Chloe Kelly. Somehow doesn't start over the ineffective James but still gets on and makes the difference again. The Arsenal players, Kelly especially, pretty much dragged England to this title. Not a bad couple of months winning the CL and Euros!
