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!

Panama haven't been as annoying in this half.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 24/06/2018 14:45

They do seemed to have calmed down a bit now.

@alibongo5 It'll do for me!

Good afternoon. Glad we’ve qualified, so Thursday doesn’t matter as much as I can’t watch it Grin

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 24/06/2018 14:59

Be nice if we could get something from a stronger side. Even a point would do.

Agreed. Going in with no pressure has to make that more likely

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 24/06/2018 15:03

Possibly. Belgium and England have only 1st or 2nd in the group to play for now. The hard bit is done for now.

Anyone going to watch Japan v Senegal? Both lots of supporters are in good spirits seemingly!

I'm looking forward to Iceland v Croatia on Tues night Grin

JacquesHammer · 24/06/2018 15:06

Anyone going to watch Japan v Senegal?

Did look a bit dodgy at times at the back so hopefully thats sorted before Thursday.

SickOfSitting · 24/06/2018 15:24

Is there another match on today?

JacquesHammer · 24/06/2018 15:25

Japan vs Senegal at 4pm
Poland vs Colombia at 7pm

SickOfSitting · 24/06/2018 15:27

I only ask because my neighbours appear to fuck off somewhere go somewhere else to watch the games and I am THOROUGHLY enjoying the peace and quiet GrinGrinGrin

ToffeeUp · 24/06/2018 15:28

Do England qualify even if they were to
Lose to Belguim?

England and Belgium have both qualified whatever happens on Thursday. It’s only 1st/2nd place that can change

ilovesooty · 24/06/2018 15:43

England and Belgium have both qualified.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 24/06/2018 15:44

England Vs Belgium is all about positioning now. Both have qualified.

GingerKitCat · 24/06/2018 15:49

Will finishing second in the group give a better pathway to the final? Or is it all up in the air?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 24/06/2018 15:50

I'd say, anything could happen.

The80sweregreat · 24/06/2018 15:51

Thanks everyone!
