We are in our pj’s on the bed, tv on already! We’ve eaten our tea and are ssettled, ready. I’ve got a rosé wine poured it’s on my bedside table. We know how to live!

I’ve just peered over the balcony. The main road is empty! One lone cyclist, then a taxi passed. That’s the sum of traffic right now in usually busy Urmston. It’s like a ghost town …. So quiet! The bars up the road will be buzzing, just not the one below us as they don’t have TV screens and closed early to let their staff go to enjoy the game. Himself told me most of the bars are ‘ticket only’ tonight as on NYE!

What are YOU doing?

C’mon England!

The result was inevitable, but painful nevertheless. The best team won. Well done 🇪🇸.

Should have gone to bed earlier, could have saved the disappointment until morning but then I’d have missed the lovely moment when we did score.
Goodnight

Well another Cava it is…🥂.

Sad to see England still waiting to match their talent with achievement but Spain haven’t lost a game in the tournament so deserving winners.

I’m glad I’m not in mi Casa tonight - my neighbours will be driving round tooting their horns til the early hours 🤬

Ah well. Everyone applauded here and the staff were pleased! The chef had come out of his kitchen to watch the last minutes 😁

Urmstongran Sun 14-Jul-24 21:58:43

Boohoo! 😨

Rekarie Sun 14-Jul-24 21:58:22

Fabulous. I mean I did want England to win. However I placed a small bet on Spain and Alcaraz to win. So I'm now waiting for financial advice on how to spend my £22.

Millie22 Sun 14-Jul-24 21:58:07

Oh dear another loss.

SkyBird Sun 14-Jul-24 21:57:27

There will be no fine to pay if Lamine Yamel stops playing at 11 pm. Be interesting if Spain take him off to avoid the fine.

Taken off at 10.45.

Btw, mango kulfi is one of my all -time favourites. I’ve also got a tin of mango pulp in my cupboard. Might open it now and a couple of spoonfuls 😋

Galaxy Sun 14-Jul-24 21:48:43

Maybee you need to keep walking sad

Grammaretto Sun 14-Jul-24 21:48:33

It's only a game..........hmm

Pantglas2 Sun 14-Jul-24 21:48:10

Gosh - 3 goals while my back is turned 🫨 my nerves would be in smithereens if I was watching 😱

rafichagran Sun 14-Jul-24 21:47:05

Hope you enjoyed your meal V3ra

Lovely, thank you. Currently enjoying mango kulfi for dessert 😋
The music's gone off now, commentary (in Spanish) on.
Customers are roughly 50:50 but the English are noisier 😬
The Indian waiters are carefully neutral 😂

Beautiful goal for England!
