I’m with you rosie. I can’t stand football and I’ll be bloomin’ glad when the World Cup is over. My DH is obsessed with it! I don’t like the way it has become ‘cool’ to like football and ergo not cool if you don’t like it. One of my grandsons is not into football and says you can’t really say that at school because people will say you’re a ‘nerd’ etc. I say to him ‘you do you’ and it doesn’t matter what others think. Football appears (to me) to be all about following the crowd. I prefer to be my own person, and prefer that for my grandson too. Sorry for offending footie fans here - no offence meant. Just my experience.

We are booked to go out tonight 6 of us to a Christmas party 5 of them normally watch football me I am just glad to be going put instead of suffering the football
I really want Netherlands to win, but can’t see it happening…hope I am wrong!
I wanted them to win, too. What a game. Summed up perfectly by Gary Lineker afterwards. ‘Bl**dy hell’. I know the referee was inconsistent but he was up against some terrible behaviour.
I usually want the underdog to win. I only watch football every 4 years so I am obviously an expert. Croatia was the better team today and they were rewarded.
I will be glued to the screen tomorrow evening- I do hope we win but France as a team is superb. We have done well to get so far. Scotland did not make it so I am shouting for England, mainly because I live here now.
