World Cup

MBappé doesn't care if he's got three opposing players chasing after him. He just keeps going!

Ah. You think bias towards a team.

I am not seeing the problem. Could be me.

Françe v Morocco now, all the match officials are Argentinian, who are still in the completion. Doesn’t feel right to me.

Thanks for the birthday wishes can't wait for Saturday 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’m not at all a footie fan in general, but as so often was awake at around 3 am so did put the bedroom TV on for once, to see (IIRC) a score of 2:1 to us.
TBH given the altitude issue, I was expecting to see something like 3:0 to them!
Heard the final score via R4 at 6.30 ish - 👏👏! 😁 - and went back to sleep.

Best Birthday present I could have, I watched it at 6am but what a match it was thrilling from start to finish. Those boys played their hearts out for England they must be so proud and exhausted.⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 onwards and upwards.

Happy Birthday!!!

We play Norway next. This Saturday. 10pm our time.

Because of the later start I went to bed, couldn't sleep so watched until just after half-time and went to bed. I got up before 8 am and saw the remainder of a fantastic match. The best football England has ever played despite the loud hostility from Mexico. The referee was useless and unfair but our team won and play Portugal next.

A brilliant result, it really was fantastic. We didn't watch it as it was put back to an even later start time. I saw the highlights earlier and England thoroughly deserved the win.

I was struggling at the beginning of the match, but it was so very engrossing, i seemed to get my second wind.

For the first 10 mins I thought I was on this thread all by myself!
I think I was!

Thankfully, people then started posting.

I dont blame you for going to bed.
I would have needed to, if I hadnt had any sleep beforehand.

Well done England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
I couldn’t stay awake. Sorry. 😟

Well done England, onward and upward!

Same nanaK54 great result, well done team 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I watched on BBC 2 this morning (having avoided all news) - whoop!!!

Just checked the score and we won 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Fantastic 🎉

The red card player can't play in the next match.
Harry didn't get a yellow card, but a penalty was awarded to Mexico because his foot scuffed the sole of the player's boot.
Norway shouldn't be too bad a threat. Of course they have Haarland but English players are well used to him because he is at Man City.

I was glad of the company too.

Thanks for the company last night everyone!
Most of my family could not stay up to watch it because of school and/or work so it was good to share it with you.
Two of them are going to watch the full no-spoiler re-run match later after work. They know the score but none of the various ups and downs.
fancythat glad that you got to see what you did.
The last 11 minutes of extra time were scary. I could not have coped with penalties 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well done England! Well deserved. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

For the weak willed like me re staying up, or those who want to just relive the highlights, here is the 10 min version

just wow!

Maybe as winner of the FIFA peace prize he is allowed to pardon people when he chooses to do so? Methinks they’re as corrupt as he is .
