DH has had a proper sleep & I’ve had a bit of one but think I may well crash & burn before kick off! Hope I can stay awake though ⚽️🇬🇧⚽️🇬🇧

Set an alarm and going to sleep now.

Netcurtainnelly · 05/07/2026 21:29

Plan to watch the repeat on BBC2 in the morning.

No, just not interested enough to stop up until silly o’clock , will just see the result in the morning

Iloveacurry · 05/07/2026 21:49

Going to bed soon and will aim to wake up at 2, to watch 2nd half or not bother depending how they’re doing ….

I've managed to fall asleep through the boring parts of England games so far. Woke up just as they were about to score.

This world cup is hitting different for me though, 28 years ago my mum had a life saving operation and the world cup helped her recover. So we watched every world cup after that. She died earlier this year so just not as interested despite me being the bigger football fan.

Considering it, but I am flagging watching Brazil v Norway so I might need a nap first.

I'm going to bed around 10 to get up at 12.55....

This is my plan too - even if I just snooze for a bit!

FatEndoftheWedge · 05/07/2026 22:35

BravasPatatas · 05/07/2026 23:09

To be fair - and this will get me FLAMED - I want England to win, because I can't cope with a fortnight of whinging afterwards!

shiningstar2 · 05/07/2026 20:49

I will stay up until half time but not sure if I can cope beyond that. Problem is, if it's exciting and we are winning I'll want to see it all. If we're losing I'll want to stay up in the hope of seeing turn around.

Ha ha! That reminds me of the Laurel and Hardy sketch, when they are in a cafe and want to impress two ladies they have just met. They only have enough money to buy the ladies a soda and one more soda. Ollie takes Stan aside and they agree that the third soda they will have to share equally. Ollie passes it to Stan who drinks the whole lot and says his half was the bottom half.

Ccjidiot · 05/07/2026 23:17

No, but wanker neighbour will probably wake me up with his drunk roaring.

ImpatientlyWaitingForSummer · 05/07/2026 21:04

We have made the ridiculously stupid decision to set an alarm to wake up and watch it, we currently have a one year old and a two year old and said one year old is currently not sleeping remotely soundly in the night. Tomorrow will not be fun!

It'll be even less fun if we lose!

take every easy option you can tomorrow!

Florally · 05/07/2026 23:18

I’m in the US at the moment so a good time for me with the kick off - but everyone around me is saying not a chance of winning so maybe I’ll combine watching it with reading my book 😂
