It’s England v Germany (again)
Go on those women - bring it home

Riverwalk Thu 28-Jul-22 08:22:16

Please no penalties! shock

Iam64 Thu 28-Jul-22 09:01:21

I know Riverwalk ??. Here’s hoping the women don’t have that aaargh we are doomed anxiety if it does go to penalties

Wasn’t the film if the 10 year old girl dancing and singing to Sweet Caroline, then the interview with her sublime. She’s now bern given a ticket fir herself and an adult to go to Wembley and meet the pundits. And - aren’t the pundits fabulous - loving it

I’ve been invited to watch it with DD and friends so I’ll bag myself a corner with a large cushion I can howl behind if things get too nail biting.

I normally have no interest in football but have been living this. Wishing them lots of luck for Sunday.

As an aside, am I the only person to think white shorts might not be the best choice for a women's team?

Tess has been a delight, hasn’t she? I’ve seen her interviewed several times. I think she’s only 8. So confident yet unassuming and with such good manners. I’m hoping to see more of her at the final. smile

I agree Maggiemaybe. I’m hoping they show her meeting the pundits (too much to dare hope she can meet the team). Confident, unassuming, articulate and yes such good manners. A real little cracker ?

Concerned about these yellow cards.....

Sparklefizz Sun 31-Jul-22 17:53:08

Come on ENGLAND!!!

Sainsbury's posted an advert showing 2 vegetables and a fruit and saying come on England. I have spent the morning trying to work out what Turnip - Carrot - Lime meant.

Eventually I realised that the turnip was a swede -
Swede Carrot Lime
Clever eh? I've been singing it ever since.
