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.

At least now the radio stations can bury that dreadful "It's Coming Home" dirge!

I’d rather Argentina won the World Cup because at least we’d know that we lost to the best team in the world.

The English team did brilliantly to get that far . I had to switch allegiance to England ,my second team, once my team was defeated but Australia did well, too, considering they are pretty much newcomers to international soccer ( we have the AFL, completely different)

“We”? It’s nothing to do with me. If anything I’m relieved that England didn’t win, because if they had, the news would have been about nothing else for weeks.

So you don’t have any empathy for the disappointment of the team who gave it their everything, and the people that supported them just because you’d have to avoid some news for a bit?

It was a old game and the best team won ⚽️

It's disappointing all round, it wasn't to be, but we did our best.

Well done Joe Hart for saying what I was thinking, those lads gave it their all.
Proud to watch them.

MayBee70 Wed 15-Jul-26 21:53:58

Oh hell. How did that happen so quickly?

merlotgran Wed 15-Jul-26 21:52:26

This is torture.

I am glad it was Gordon. I think he has been a bit of an unsung hero.

Jaxjacky Wed 15-Jul-26 21:18:52

Perfect tackle

MayBee70 Wed 15-Jul-26 21:18:42
