World Cup

Casdon

The defence needs to up their game, Kane and Bellingham can’t continue to carry them now, brilliant though they have been so far, they need the back up.
I think you’re right though MartavTaurus, France are going to have it in the bag unless either England or Argentina produce something much stronger in the semis.

The party is at mine Casdon if that's the case. Proper champagne, saucisson sec and rillettes. Followed by tarte au citron.

I am yet able to manage to see the whole game.

Did anyone see the interview with Thomas Tuchel at the end?
He was sooo cross with the team it was funny!
Typical German, (and no, I'm not not xenophobic before anyone jumps).

He had a right to be cross. Just spoke to my partner who’s away at the moment but knows more about football than I do and we both agreed that England were lucky and played quite sloppy last night. I do think these breaks are causing a problem though in the way they interrupt the game. And there seems to be some dodgy refereeing. I think a non foreign manager would have been equally disappointed in their performance too, by the way #justsaying

England started off very poorly IMO and there was too much passing the ball back when they should have been attacking from the start. I was thrilled that they won obviously but they did have luck on their side.

I’m not sure I agree. He has plenty of opportunities to hammer home his instructions as honestly and forcefully as he likes but immediately after a win, saying England got lucky when there were two excellent goals from Jude Bellingham?
Would a bit of praise be too much for him?

I read it today, good, no pussyfooting around, Kane has some sympathy with Tuchel, just some mind.

Well done England! My niece in Canada has decided she is going to marry Jude Bellingham so I will need to buy a new frock!

Tell the designer houses you're attending Jude's wedding & you'll have the pick of their designs (on loan) for free! They'll be fighting to dress you.

I want England to win so I can get a day off work. Otherwise as a non fan, I've seen about five minutes of the entire tournament.

Well done England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Those balls are a bit snazzy ⚽️

On to the semi finals and the black and gold balls.

That was exciting. And exhausting.

Whoop!!!

They all look overheated, poor things.

Oh, well, anything could happen yet, then.

15 minutes plus any added.

All I've done is lie on the couch, eating.
I've no room to eat any more food.

How much longer??
