To be excited about the World Cup starting!

I know FIFA and Russia and whoever is involved is horrible in some way... But it's the actual World Cup. Mexico v South Korea suddenly becomes hugely important to my life! England have a likeable squad and manager. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar. Spain sacking their manager yesterday.

It's so exciting isn't it!

Tunisia were poor, England had plenty of chances against them, Belgium still hasn't been tested properly but they do have exciting players.

Sweeeeeddddennnnn!!! YES! Germany are really not good tonight either. Weird! Our first half of football was prbably the best I’ve seen all tournament. Who knew?! England can test Belgium. I selfishly want us to finish second in the group so I can watch all the matches 😂

Belgium are class.

Sweeeeeden! Loving it. Hope Germany go out, such a boring team to watch.

BestIsWest · 23/06/2018 19:39

Sweden!

BitchQueen90 · 23/06/2018 19:59

SWEDEN!

user764329056 · 23/06/2018 20:02

Come on the Swedes!

alibongo5 · 23/06/2018 20:05

Shit! Fuck!

RoseWhiteTips · 23/06/2018 20:06

So unfair that Germany were minus a player for over 4 minutes...

WAIT!

Germany has scored! Yay!

IcedPurple · 23/06/2018 20:07

Goal for Germany!

For helvede as we fans of The Bridge like to say!

Amanduh · 23/06/2018 20:12

Sweden play the most boring football I’ve ever seen. And I’m a West Ham fan. Grin Says a lot if Germany don’t manage a win tonight, or even if they do. They’re so lacklustre!

Amanduh · 23/06/2018 20:12

(germany that is)

Halfblindbunny · 23/06/2018 20:15

Oh no I hope Sweden still win. Who was responsible for the player being off for so long? Was it Germany's own medics or are they independent medical to do head injury assessments?

ToffeeUp · 23/06/2018 20:17

IcedPurple that is Danish... Saga says för helvete! Wink

GingerKitCat · 23/06/2018 20:54

NOooooooOOOOooo!

BitOutOfPractice · 23/06/2018 20:55

I actually just said the words "knowing the Germans they'll bloody well score now". And they did. Damn!

WhiteHartLane · 23/06/2018 20:57

Great last gasp goal but poor Sweden

RoseWhiteTips · 23/06/2018 20:59

That is what marks a great team - that they can come back from that. Fantastic. And well managed Joachim.

NoisyBrain · 23/06/2018 21:00

Bit I said that too, but with a bit more swearing Grin 'Twas an amazing goal though.

RoseWhiteTips · 23/06/2018 21:02

Cannot believe how the commentary team had basically written them off with about 20 minutes to go. Egg on their faces now. Lol

Halfblindbunny · 23/06/2018 21:02

Rediculous place to give away a free kick!

ToffeeUp · 23/06/2018 21:02

This German team is not great but they are experienced and well German.
