If so, what are you doing?
It’s on here but I’m pottering in the garden.

I gave ds a driving lesson then have showered and am resting now.

Netflix and chill. I am not a fan of team sports. Especially football.

My 2yo just woke up crying because some men across the road were shouting about the goal. Seriously, this man was doing this primal tarzan-style yodel, so unnecessary, I feel like the football equivalent of ebeneezer scrooge right now. HUMBUG. I've only just managed to get ds back to sleep, 20min later. If England score again and the man decides to repeat his performance I might explode with rage

Me. I don't like football. Dh and the kids are watching. Dh said I should because it's the semi final. I said I'd rather water the plants....genuinely have spent nearly 5 decades being made to watch football and I still don't enjoy it, get it or play it. Am off to do some sewing next!

Me. I’m watching Hebburn. After finishing Only Child.
i like Harry and the team, they are good lads but I can’t bring myself to get interested in middle aged men dressed like giant toddlers kicking a ball around.
Also put off by the whole football hooliganism.

Everyone else is watching it here, but I am on my laptop 😃I can hear what's happening though. I don't like football but I do hope England win. I support quite a few different countries in sport, but Argentina isn't one of them so I am on the side of England today. Off to get a hot chocolate now ☕

Me, I have absolutely no interest in it.

DH and DS1 are at work and DS2 is watching Love Island so I'm watching 'Hidden Assets' just started series 2.

It's lovely, I'm in the front room with the windows open and have heard about 3 cars go past in the last hour!

Me.
Dh and one of our sons has gone to the local to watch it with their mates.
Dh dud the shopping before he went, there was some bits missing so I walked to the Tesco express elsewhere and picked them up.
Im feeling tired as I went for a walk and had two pints this afternoon. That wiped me out! Im not used to drinking, drinking in the afternoon and drinking in the afternoon, in the heat!!! I slept for and hour and half!! 😆

I couldn’t be less interested in the game though the supporters are funny

FancyKeyboard · Yesterday 21:58

I get very stressed by it being on, as when I was a kid the house was always very tense when we lost.

I want to not care, because I am not interested, but I can't get myself to not follow it. I am sat in another room but still know what the score is! Would be easier if I didn't have a football-mad son!

friedaklein · Yesterday 22:00

I got sucked in and jinxed it for England! Shouldn't have watched. Too sad.

Jungfraujoch · Yesterday 22:01

Me! Never watch fullstop - hate football!

dancingdeidre · Yesterday 22:01

No, but it's on downstairs and I can hear cheering right along the street whenever anything exciting happens. Which hasn't been often, so far.

CassandraWebb · Yesterday 22:02

No, because I 'm in hospital Sad

Sitting in the garden. Lovely balmy evening, wonderful wafts of honeysuckle scent. Waiting for our resident hedgehogs to rock up.

ConstantlyFuriosa · Yesterday 22:04

No. I can’t stand it, but all of my neighbours are so it’s been like I’m watching it!

RhinestoneCowgirl · Yesterday 22:07

I've been out this evening at a summer herbalism course. Heard a big roar as I came home

Additup · Yesterday 22:08

Is like us to win, but I'm not interested enough to watch it. I'm enjoying lying on the bed naked with a cool breeze wafting over me from the open windows 😊

This Scottish/Welsh household isn't watching! I just mopped the kitchen floor. 😆

You missed a spot 🤭

I didn’t watch it, no interest in football. It was a beautiful evening so I sat outside listening to music till half nine. Now I’m just glad it’s all over….
