Did anyone else see Gurinder Chadha on channel 4 news this evening? Made me smile from ear to ear!

Is there a World Cup coming up? I've no idea about football

I can't work out if you're being sarcastic but on the off chance that you're genuinely asking:
The England women's football team are in the final of the womens World Cup against Spain. They are playing on Sunday. It's totally brilliant.

🤞🤞

Yes!! 🎉👏⚽️🏆

England's Irie by Black Grape is the best football song ever with World in Motion coming a close second.
But yes, it's coming home 😀

We're even having vindaloo for dinner tonight!

Hopefully not followed by a World [of] Motion[s] <getting coat>

Up until todays match I'd have not agreed with you and felt they were quite jammy - but they were reallys solid today and played so so much better than I'm starting to feel hopeful.

I am raging I booked an escape room at 11-30 on sunday which means we'll be incommunicado for most of it :(

Escape Room? Omg IKEA for me is bad enough.

Maybe see if you can get the record for the fastest escape.

I'm Irish, not into football in any way but I will be rooting for the girls on Sunday! Would just love to see them do it.

I watched it and believe we were the stronger team. The Matilda’s defence was very strong but I think the Lionesses were more all-rounders

It was a tough match today - don't think the scoreline reflected the game, but thank goodness we got through.

Fingers and everything else crossed for Sunday!

Actually England well deserved the win. Just read the comments on the BBC website football section. It wasn't that close.

ajandjjmum · 16/08/2023 17:26

Yes - I do realise that @WeetabixTowels Grin. Having been watching football for over 60 years, I think I can comment that it was a closer match than the scoreline indicated. Makes no difference to anything though - just a passing thought on a chat forum, on what is a really exciting day for England!

WeAreAllLionesses · 16/08/2023 17:14

But of course it is!!

I mean, the point of the game and the scoring criteria are pretty clear in football. Put the ball over the line. England did it three times as much as Aus. If you ain’t doing that then what are you doing 🤷‍♀️

Oh I hope so 😀 they played well today, so hopefully come into top form at the right time.

ginandtonicwithlimes · 16/08/2023 17:02
