Football ⚽️ Coming home, what do you think

[TheNokia]

Pretty excited myself, hope we make it into the finals

It's all a bit shameful though isn't it? Do you really want it? How have you managed to pretend to yourself that politics are separate? If it's a World competition then it's political whether you like it or not. Frankly, I am ashamed of FIFA and I'm ashamed that not every single member of 'our' team didn't immediately sew their fucking armbands on and wear them with pride. If you're representing England, or NI, Scotland or Wales you are representing us. So do it.

And don't tell me we should be focussing on the game; the entire excuse for going was to flag up the human rights abuses going on. So do it.

Pathetic. I'm ashamed.

I’m Scottish with an English dp, but hope England do well and watched the game, despite the English fans chanting about us 😂

Lol it’s already home, the girls brought it home to England . The men fail very time . Old saying if you want something do it yourself🤣😂

They were immense, so proud of the lionesses. Glad they did it before the men.

I don't know if the men will do it or not, but they did great at the euros too. Very proud of Saka, Arsenal fan and he's amazing.

So you dont support and wont be watching but feel the need to point it out so typically mumsnet 🤣

I'll be watching every match. I'm Scottish so will support Wales. ABE
Sorry OP.

England wont beat France

They might not have to

I really don't think anything will be coming home apart from the players, with their tails between legs, as per usual!

The fact that they conceded two goals to Iran says it all really.

If there's any player who deserves to lift the World Cup, it's Messi. This is his last big tournament and I'm backing Argentina.

Wouldn't be disappointed if England won, but I don't think they've got it.

Not looking good so far......

Last World Cup I bought DS a Brazil shirt so he wouldn't be disappointed when England got knocked out early. That was a waste of money.

I am the kiss of death to South American teams.

Sorry Messi.

😂 oh dear!

It's a very odd match this one. I am only half watching

I doubt very much we have anything to worry about from Argentina.
Dear Oh Dear. 😂😂😂

Very baffled! They should have walked it!

Their team must be built around Messi, and he's just too slow and too old now. Oh well...

I find that with Portugal. They spend most of their time on the floor as well ..

Sometimes it's harder to play lesser teams because they up their game whereas the other side go in thinking it's like a training session and they don't need to put the effort in.

I hate this whole phrase tbh
Despised it when the women won the euros ' it didn't come home it was a female team playing a completely different tournament ffs

Agreed. They look like they might be in trouble too...oops.
<he's rich, he's round, he's rolling on the ground, he's Ronaldo>

To be honest don’t care won’t watch any sport again.

You're obviously confusing Portugal with Brazil since Neymar is the KING of rolling on the pitch like he's been shot by Clint Eastwood! 🧐🤣

Nopity-nope....that wasn't a World Cup, was it?

The men brought the WC home in 1966, you know.

Oh god yes! I forgot all about him. Didn't he win most roles after a tackle?! 🤣🙈
