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 ⚽️🇬🇧⚽️🇬🇧

Yes

Nat6999 · 06/07/2026 00:00

I'm a night owl so yes I will be watching the match.

Oh FFS, KO is delayed for an hour. So I think I’m going to sack it off now.

Interested in this thread?

Kick off is at 02:00 now!!

Too tired to, and am drifting now. I think England will lose anyway because Mexico have the advantage (because of the high altitude.) And Mexico have won 33 of the last 34 matches or something.

I really hope England do win of course! Will find out tomorrow!

Yeah, it may not finish til 4.30am, if they go to extra time! It will be light!

I'm still awake and got tv on in bed. DH snoring beside me! Not sure I'll still be awake at 2am though 😳

SpottyAlpaca · 06/07/2026 00:20

Yes, I’m a night owl anyway so no problem. It’s only work tomorrow, and because I'm not a pilot, or a HGV driver or a surgeon I can function adequately while hung over & half asleep.

ghostyslovesheets · 06/07/2026 00:28

Went to bed at 8:30 - just woke up to my alarm to meet DD1 on the landing saying go back to sleep it’s delayed! She’s stayed awake as well - oh well another hour of kip for me - fingers crossed I wake up

basiically · 06/07/2026 00:28

I was but now its going to start at 2am so not going to bother, i`ll hear about it on the news in the morning.

MustardBear · 06/07/2026 00:29

Zov · 06/07/2026 00:15

Ooooh, because of the thunderstorms?

Yep - due to “severe weather”
which they were discussing on Friday, hence the proposal then to bring it forward…
Anyway, here we are. I’ll watch the replay on BBC2 at 7.10am instead!

MustardBear · 06/07/2026 00:31

Will set my alarm for 7am, avoid all social media, watch the replay, then log on for work - perfect!

Penkie · 06/07/2026 00:33

I was going to stay up but 2 am does sound like the middle of the night now. I pity all those whose alarms are set for 12.45 am.

blackheartsgirl · 06/07/2026 00:37

Nope. I live in Wales so the hypes just not here.

I haven’t watched one World Cup game whatsoever, I normally do but this time around I just can’t be arsed with it all, doesn’t help that they’re on late or early morning.

Happyjoe · 06/07/2026 00:58

No, and just looked out the window at the pubs and looks like they're all shut. Phew phew phew. I may indeed get some sleep!

I'm up. Went to bed about 9.30 and haven't slept for some reason. I might go back to bed now I've realised it's delayed. I have work in the morning at 8.30.

nightowlzzz · 06/07/2026 01:05

Not sure I'll stay awake until 2am for even the kick-off let alone the whole game but we shall see. Was going to let the DCs stay up for it but rescinded the offer when the kick-off got moved back.

DH is away for work and staying in a room in a pub - he is thankful to have been provided with earplugs Grin

blankcanvas3 · 06/07/2026 01:08

I’m up! Alongside 17 year old DS and seven of his friends! My youngest two are at my parents so tomorrow we can all have a looooong lie in. DH is in Mexico for the game and he said the storm is unholy. Crossing my fingers it doesn’t get delayed again

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 06/07/2026 01:08

Went to bed around 9 but have not slept too well. Going bad to bed until 2 now. DD 13 got up but went straight back to bed

NormasArse · 06/07/2026 01:09

I can hear people outside the pub. You’d imagine that they’d ask people to stay inside, with it being 1am on a Sunday, eh?!

This sounds like a fun night! Enjoy!

I'm in a time zone two hours ahead. I set my alarm for 02:45 to watch, woke DD up, then found out kick off is delayed! I can't go back to sleep now, I can never fall back asleep after getting up so that's me up for the day now with a full day of work ahead of me (that I will have to go in late for now that match has been delayed as I usually leave home at 5am)

AskedForSoLittle · 06/07/2026 01:23

I went to bed at 20:00 and set an alarm for 12:55. I’ve got to be up for work at 05:00 so with the delay I’ll just stay up for the night now.
