I don’t get football. I don’t get why people say ‘we’ won or lost. It’s not ‘we’, it’s ‘they’ - unless you’re in the team, of course. Whoever wins, one side is happy, one isn’t. Always the same.

Sorry.

My son and I follow the World Cup avidly. Me trying to leap up from his low-slung sofa last night when England scored was not a pretty picture. Excellent match. Saturday will be a battle for them.

I knew nothing about football until I had two grandsons. I decided to Jen up on the subject. I’m so pleased I did as I can now discuss the players and games with the boys. We go and watch them play when visiting and I have a chair to sit on and a flask of coffee. ‘Yay’ as the boys would say.

Last night’s match was excellent.

Watching tennis is my favourite sport and the boys visited the Rafa Nadal Academy in Majorca at half term in order to buy me a Xmas present from there. I wonder what it is. 🤔

I thought I was the only one! Yes, watching here avidly, excellent game last night, Saturday will be exciting, we were living in France in 2018 when they won.

I don’t like football but watched yesterday and got a bit excited
We did well it will be a tough match on Saturday
I do like the calmness of Southgate he seems a very caring man and we ve done much better since he’s been the manager
Good luck England x

Brilliant result, France will be a much harder game. Unfortunately I am meeting my daughters and four of my granddaughters in London next Saturday to go to Winter Wonderland. It's been booked for ages and I'm very much looking forward to it but I love football. I'll have to keep an eye on the game on my phone.

A great result. I don’t think Saturday will be so easy! But fingers crossed 🤞 and miracles do happen.
