Anyone watching the Football?
Whose watching in your house?

DH and DDog. I am drinking wine and messing about on the internet/reading a book.

FuzzyStripes · 16/06/2024 21:27

I’m watching with DD1. DH is out with friends to watch it and the other DC are upstairs.

Given how well we started, I expected us to be doing better than we are.

HappyMuma · 16/06/2024 21:28

Me, DH and oldest DS. We are a big football household! We will watch as many games as we can, not just the England games. Are you watching OP?

It’s not the most exciting match ever is it

MrsToddsShortcut · 16/06/2024 21:33

DS just said exactly the same thing! Mind you, Serbia seem like pretty dirty players. In the first half there was so much deliberate shoving etc.

gleefulstar · 16/06/2024 21:34

It worries me that this is the best we can do against Serbia 😬

Mojodojocasahous · 16/06/2024 21:36

Just literally said the same thing to DH

Noosnom · 16/06/2024 21:38

I'm watching. I think DS is watching in his room.
I'd be more relaxed before bedtime if we could score another one.

Kangarude · 16/06/2024 21:41

DH has gone out to watch it and I decided to watch at home. (Which I wouldn’t normally do) I might go to bed as I’m bored with it tbh.

longdistanceclaraclara · 16/06/2024 21:42

H is upstairs watching. The door is firmly closed after his ridiculously loud celebration at the first goal. No one else is the house has any interest.

FuzzyStripes · 16/06/2024 21:53

Serbia has been playing dirty but they have also improved in the second half. We really should be comfortably cruising towards the final whistle with several goals behind us, instead we are panicking that Serbia are going to equalise.

As per usual, England stink out a tournament with the most boring game so far. Every. Single. Time.

soundsys · 16/06/2024 22:00

We were but didn't make it all the way to the end - so boring! After it started off so well!

maudelovesharold · 16/06/2024 22:01

Well, that was more nerve-racking than I expected!

Mojodojocasahous · 16/06/2024 22:02

They are going to need to get their fingers out if they want to progress

incessantpunditry · 16/06/2024 22:03

Well that was dull.

Lonelycrab · 16/06/2024 22:03

Serbia are apparently 33rd on the fifa ranking scale. We’re 4th.

Who’d have thunk it

England will get massacred the moment they meet a vaguely competent side, judging by that performance. Plus ça change, eh?

TuckingFerrible · 16/06/2024 22:04

They usually start off quite tentatively but then improve as the tournament progresses. Give them time 🙏

Lonelycrab · 16/06/2024 22:05

And honestly, stop relying on Kane, ditch him, he’s about as useful as the rightfully dropped Rashford right now ie not very.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 16/06/2024 22:05

There's a Euro 2024 thread.

incessantpunditry · 16/06/2024 22:07

I don't mind the actual football. It's the endless yackety-yack from all the presenters that drives me potty. They fill every millisecond with chattering drivel.

PassingStranger · 16/06/2024 22:16

Does the BBC need to pay four of them lol.

My OH watched the first 5 mins and said it was boring.

Later on we had a quick look about 25 mins b4 finish and it looked interesting.
It was a close call for England a few times
The main thing, we won!!
We both felt Harry is past his best!!

We are a family of Rugby TBH, but wishing England lots of luck!!

Mummapenguin20 · 16/06/2024 22:26

I’m hoping the next game is more intresting but we have 3 points. We are huge football fans here too
