Ardent supporters, luke warm well wishers (I'm looking at you Scotland and Wales), waistcoat appreciators, Spurs, Arsenal, northern football fans, League 2 strugglers, those whose only interest is the office sweepstake, those playing 'It's coming home' on trumpets at 1am (I still haven't forgiven you for the vuvuzelas), those quietly sipping Chateauneuf du Pape with friends and family, Brexiters, Remainers and basically, anyone and everyone in between who isn't going to use the football as an excuse to jump up and down on emergency response vehicles or piss on a foreigner. Get over here now and leave the naysayers and misery gutses to it.

Come on England!!!

RayRayBidet · 11/07/2018 09:32

I would be delighted if they win and really hope they do!
Tbh they have done so well anything now is a bonus. They will still be able to hold their heads up high.

LittleLionMansMummy · 11/07/2018 09:33

Jesus I'm jealous - I tried my hardest to get dh to wear his but he was having none of it!

Yay! Finally some positive one!
Except it will be flooded by "I don't care" and "I hope they lose" crowd🙄

Since I am non native, I wanted to ask if there were any "traditions" to upheld? Like things for good luck. Or is it just personal good luck rituals people have?

We’re not all lukewarm, you know! 🤗 Massive good luck vibes here from Wales.

Raven88 · 11/07/2018 09:35

I would be great too see them win. I don't watch football and I'm Scottish but I really want them to win. It's bringing people together and it's nice to have something positive happening.

JacquesHammer · 11/07/2018 09:36

I’m over excited already. It’s going to be a long day Grin

jigsawpiece · 11/07/2018 09:36

DontCallMeCharlotte · 11/07/2018 09:37

Me me me!

And I need to bury the ghosts of Italia 90 and Euro 96.

We're singing for England...

LittleLionMansMummy · 11/07/2018 09:38

OftenHangry (love the username, I can relate) just personal ones here (we've also had a tricolor flying until today, but took it down ahead of tonight's match!) Love France, I've got them in the sweepstake but couldn't risk us meeting in the final and still having it flying!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 11/07/2018 09:39

I have zero interest in football, and the type of people involved in the game - Gary Lineker can take almost full credit for that Smile - and couldn’t tell you the last time I saw even a bit of a match. BUT I was listening to the radio at the beginning of the tournament and heard caller after caller saying how rubbish England are and how it would be better if they were knocked out immediately. And I thought woah, hang on that’s a bit off. So I decided right, I’m going to bloody well watch and support them now (cos I’m contrary Wink). I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it though I do think this team and Gareth Southgate in particular are very different to what’s gone before in recent years. I agree about the positivity being great for a change. I’m not sure I can watch tonight though because it’s the first time I’ve ever really wanted them to succeed, I feel like I might jinx it (might channel hop to check the score though!)

BastardGoDarkly · 11/07/2018 09:39

I can't wait!!

I wish I'd have filmed the scenes in my home town during/after the games, just euphoria, joy and loveliness. No one sees that do they?

Whatever happens, it's been a brilliant tournament.

(It's coming home Grin )

Love that! Grin

SeaViewBliss · 11/07/2018 09:40

I’m one of those annoying people who never watches football and know nothing about it but suddenly become an expert when the World Cup is on!

I am a waistcoat appreciater. I think this team are the nicest England team we have had for ages. Gareth is a saint and I hope they win.

Very excited for the match tonight!
