A thread for those who are watching it.

Not sure how interested in it I will be.
Like I said on the not watching thread, it may depend how far some Countires I am interested in, get to, in the competition.

Can anybody explain why Mexico seem to have โ€œhome advantage โ€œ in the next game . The altitude and home crowd will make it more difficult for our team .

Fantastic win. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Of course itโ€™s all down to my late Mum. ๐Ÿ˜‰ she was a big football fan. In second half I said to my family it was time to bring Nanny on as it didnโ€™t look good and I put her photo looking at the TV and told her to work her magic. In less than one minute Kane scored! My lot were flabbergasted. Kept her there and told her we needed another and Kane did it again.

Do you think your dear late mum could stay up Sunday night/Monday morning?

Watching this game is detrimental to my current asthma flare up ๐Ÿซ

I cant say it is a comfortable game to watch.

The African teams have been underestimated. Fabulous goalie!

I totally agree. I hope England win. DRC have been brilliant though.
