I don't even like football but I enjoy the world cup. I really like watching the other countries play but I am sat here with a knot in my stomach and I don't even care!! There seems to be a pessimism surrounding the team this year

I'm the same Grin

I'm not so informed that I can comment on any pessimism surrounding the team though, are you sure you don't like football? Grin

After the last few World Cups nobody is expecting anything are they?
I've spent the week not being bothered and now I'm glued to the TV !
DS has the option of watching it or not (big, huge football fan), he's convinced they'll lose and is watching Star Trek in his room Grin

YANBU, I feel really jumpy Smile

IWillYeah · 14/06/2014 23:09

Its not as much fun when you are invested. I have seen them live many times and its always a tense experience.

I really enjoyed Spain v Netherlands last night, but feel sick already watching England.

LEMmingaround · 14/06/2014 23:10

No really - just heard a few things on the news. I actually feel sick Confused

I'm fucking expecting them to win, hopefully on penalties as I've got a fiver at 100/1 on it Grin

I can't watch football at all, I just find it all too stressful, even the sound of it makes me wound up!

VampyreofTimeandMemory · 14/06/2014 23:12

it's probably because England losing puts everyone in a shit mood, though you'd think they'd be used to it by now.

Itsfab · 14/06/2014 23:13

I stop breathing at times Hmm. I can't enjoy it really but this Storridge guy is really really good.

Youdontneedacriminallawyer · 14/06/2014 23:13

I'm Welsh, and therefore don't give a shit. Its a nice place to be!

AgentZigzag · 14/06/2014 23:14

Pac-man does the same to me Scousa.

picnicbasketcase · 14/06/2014 23:15

I've switched over from watching the Holiday, but I might turn it back over due to the tension.

LEMmingaround · 14/06/2014 23:17

My dp is asleep ffs how can he sleep? ?

I have to sort of half watch. Browse MN and look up at TV in the noisy bits. I get too tense otherwise. I would like Robben and Van Persie to discover English roots and switch to our team please.

fatedtopretend · 14/06/2014 23:19

I'm sat on my own in knots, close to actual vomit time! I barely even understand the game Smile

LEMmingaround · 14/06/2014 23:23

I don't get it either but every world cup I have to explain the offside rule to dp

I opted to reminisce over my youth watching TOTP 80s special - with oohs and arrghs wafting up from the boys (DH & DS) downstairs. Sadly I fear England are doomed

ballsballsballs · 14/06/2014 23:26

:)

Apparently we've got more young players this year (am fairweather fan, so NFI). So am optimistic... ish.

LEMmingaround · 14/06/2014 23:30

Am chatting to my friend on Facebook it would help but she is Italian!

Shock

Being one down will just perk up our players though Wink

AgentZigzag · 14/06/2014 23:37

Hahaha, what did I say? Grin

LEMmingaround · 14/06/2014 23:38

This is too much! !!

How did the physio get hurt???

OP posts:
ballsballsballs · 14/06/2014 23:40

So does the game go into injury time if the team physio is injured?

CheeryName · 14/06/2014 23:40

I've never seen a physio stretchered off!
