Live thread - is it coming home?! ???????⚽️

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.

It's his birthday tomorrow ?

For those of a nervous disposition - may I recommend watching it with the sound turned off?
Somehow it’s not as scary! ☺️☺️☺️

? Phew

I go to type something, then England get possesion then I have to stop. Come on England.

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!

Best explanation ever!!!!….??????????

... kettles go on and toilets flush!!!

It's the middle of July and it's raining....natural conditions for Englishmen.?️

No more goals please let it stay as it is - please please do not let this go to penalties - I will have to hide!

Whoop whoop I ve got my cider my kettle crisps and I m jumping up and down and I don’t even like football ??

Cheers ?

Cheers??

I have been banished to the kitchen, as when I last watched a full England game they lost, so it’s a repeat of The Most Exotic Marigold Hotel and vino blanco for me.

Here we go again!!⚽⚽

Oh, it's too tense!

To many fouls now for my liking!

Managed to watch with the sound off while I watched a concert on the laptop, but the concert ended at the same time as the first half of the match.
Just hoping it won't all depend on a penalty shoot-out.

Nóoooooooooo

Bugger
