Will the vows be over by 4? Go to the vows then watch the Football then rejoin the party? To be honest I think vow renewals are generally just attention seeking anyway.

If England are in the final, people WILL find a TV or have in on their phones. It's absolutely inevitable.

It's such a shame for folks who have events at this time, but I feel the only option is to embrace it as part of the day, not fight it.

I am away in another country this weekend. I picked a 9.30am flight home (very short haul) on Sunday so I'd be back in time for the match. Grin

Oof. A vow renewal, not even a wedding itself? There's going to be a high drop out rate if England do end up in the final.

Some nice pics in the Guardian today of the team in gym/pool/sauna/recovering - they look so happy and relaxed

We had awards do the day of one of England's group matches when it didn't matter if they won or lost but we ended up putting it on the screens after because everyone wanted to watch it. I feel sorry for anyone getting married this weekend. If England get through it'll be a memorable day but if they lose you'll have unhappy guests!

Anyway.... Belgium v France first. A semi final to enjoy without ridiculous nervousness.

I hope it is as good a game as it threatens to be. Two managers that have something still to prove to everyone. Two supremely talented squads.

Can Kante stop Dr Bruyne. Can the French defence handle Lukaku? Can the Belgian defence handle Mbappe?

It's going to be so good

user1471517900 · 10/07/2018 09:13

First semi final tonight! Only 4 games left in the tournament :-(

BitchQueen90 · 10/07/2018 09:42

Very excited for tonight's match. Should be a good one! 2 very talented teams.

WhiteHartLane · 10/07/2018 16:52

Not long to go til kick off. Really hard to predict a winner, both teams full of excellent players. Think I'm going to go for France to just edge it but I'm expecting an exciting match regardless.

ToffeeUp · 10/07/2018 18:03

One hour to go before kick off ⚽️

I also think France will edge it, should be a good match!

nervousnails · 10/07/2018 18:40

I have got every prediction wrong this year. Still, my money is on the Belgians.

FawnDrench · 10/07/2018 18:49

Ooh Thierry Henry is going to be conflicted.

I will comfort him...

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 10/07/2018 18:57

I really want Belgium to win but I reckon it'll be France Grin

I think Belgium will pull off a shocker.

Wow close
Twice!

It’s so relaxing watching this. The calm before tomorrow’s storm 😀

I am enjoying an ice cream Grin

Sharkwithknees · 10/07/2018 19:27

Wow, what a match already! Some awesome talent on that pitch tonight. France are playing awesome but I think Belgium's going to go through.

Sharkwithknees · 10/07/2018 19:28

Fruitandbarley- you have my sympathies, what a decision! I think they're going to have to compromise somehow if England get into the final, otherwise they'll have a very low number of guests!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 10/07/2018 19:30

I've got an eye on the game whilst plotting up ways to kill me mother and get away with it.
