Hi all
Just starting this
Let’s see how we go
Come on England!!

Well hope so, English fans seemed to have taken on board what Southfield said, unless I’m going deaf! Singing our anthem, no booing on taking the knee, and a goal in the first few minutes, like to think it will be 3 2 to England, Fingers crossed. Off to make a cuppa soon, can’t watch it for long, too edge of seat ???????

So pleased for Luke Shaw. He hasn’t had an easy path.

The offside rule explained:

You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.

She prepares to throw her purse to you.

If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!

BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!

Well, we are 2 Italy supporters, 2 England supporters and one not bothered here in my sitting room.????

Should make it an interesting evening, enjoy.

I am enjoying this, although I am clueless about the rules.

Pittcity Sun 11-Jul-21 20:18:42

BigBertha1 it's Wemberley and Ingerland!!

Smileless2012 Sun 11-Jul-21 20:09:15

I'm too nervous to watch and I'm not a footy fanblush; great startgrin.

Oooh, might have to watch the Handmaids Tale on plus 1 and keep Mr. S. company in the other roomhmm.

BigBertha1 Sun 11-Jul-21 20:08:34

Can anyone on tv say Wembley rather than Wemberley?

tanith Sun 11-Jul-21 20:05:14

tanith Sun 11-Jul-21 19:57:45

Red Arrows just flew past my house WOW! Come on England ?????????????????????

Sunlover Sun 11-Jul-21 19:50:39

My son is at the game. Hoping he has a fabulous evening. A once in a lifetime experience.

Casdon Sun 11-Jul-21 19:50:26

I hope so, not least for the safety of London’s policemen tonight, there are so many (probably drunk) fans out on the streets that it could turn very ugly if England lose.

Nana3 Sun 11-Jul-21 19:50:23

Well, we are 2 Italy supporters, 2 England supporters and one not bothered here in my sitting room.????
