To be excited about the World Cup 3

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Come on England!!

I knew the football gods wouldnt let me be right twice in a row.

I want to trim Thierry's beard, just a little.

He needs it to compensate for his bald head.

Once again Lukaku went missing in a big game.

De Bruyne seemed hesitant to pass to him

I won't even mention the things I'd like to do to Olivier Giroud....

FFS. I am never predicting things henceforth.

I love Thierry 😍 Danny Murphy needs removing from Mbappe’s backside. Or his own 😂

Right I've read every single previous thread and I'm now officially patched in.

So it'll be France when we get to the final?

And it is a when

Hello there Basil ⚽️ Like the optimism

Yes it will be France in the final

My parents are hoping for England not to win as they think it'll somehow make Brexit worse I'm going to the other side of the country to visit them this weekend, but if we make the final I'm coming home early so I can get excited without listening to them moaning about it!

🎵 ENG-GER-LAND ENG-GER-LAND ENG-GER-LAND!!! 🎶

(Fingers crossed) It’s coming home!! 😃

Having said that though, France played really well tonight though - Belgium couldn’t get past them at all. Mbappé’s fab!!

Oh bless them hahahhahahahha sorry that made me laugh a bit!

What is everyone's instincts for today? I've got to say I have felt really positive at all the other games but I don't have that feeling for this one...

I really cannot stand people who cannot lead a normal everyday life without bringing politics into it.

I'm already nervous and it's bloody three and a half hours till kick off!

I've been trawling to watch all the interesting (and not) interviews and reading twitter and - oh goodness I need to get a grip!

I don't know what to do with myself. I am panicking.

I am going for a narrow nervy win for England tonight, 2-1

Glad to see a few positive football threads popping up today.

How is it still three hours before kick off?!

I'm so so nervous.

Also getting annoyed at all these jonny come lately people.

We had to sit through France v Denmark. We had to sit through England v Belgium. We have put in the hard yards.

Happy to have missed Poland v Japan as Senegal v Colombia was on at the same time

I am sticking to this and the rolling football thread re the World Cup as to avoid people who don't understand off side

I feel sick.

I've had a hell of a day at school too. Every class was a nightmare with singing Three Lions! Don't get me wrong, it's been my earworm for 3 weeks and I'm as excited as they are, but there comes a point, when we're supposed to be reading Animal Farm, when it's got to stop!!

DD has been singing Three Lions at school too.

Anyone see the RAF fly past in london? They did "It's coming home" in formation.

Federer lost. This is a bad omen.

shhhhhhhh.
