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.

Whenever there are penalty shoot outs it brings back all the agony of previous England ones. Canโ€™t believe Germany are out!

I agree about the penalty shoot outs MayBee70!

Didnt see the Germany match. Wow.

Saw Brazil v Japan.
Brazil scraped through.
Japan played better 1st half and scored a goal.
Brazil played better 2nd half and got a 2nd goal in something like the 92nd minute.

One nil already?๐Ÿ˜ฑ Come on England!

They are not doing great. In my opinion.
Defence is ropey again. All my opinion.
And Pickford is not having his best game either.

I think a lot of teams are finding these African teams difficult to play and beat.

I keep coming back to this bit from MayBee70 Weds 24th June 3.01am

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

We canโ€™t get anything past their defence.

The African teams have been underestimated. Fabulous goalie!

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