I am and feeling quite sad about it. Anyone want to keep each other company while we watch?

Can't predict, too nervous, but all I really want is for our team to play their best

Drovememad · 07/07/2021 20:02

@SausageCrush it's England expect a lot of stress!!

MotherCanDoIt · 07/07/2021 20:02

Always amazes me how fast Sterling is

Susannahmoody · 07/07/2021 20:03

What's that little car about, bringing the ball on?

TerritorialPissings · 07/07/2021 20:03

Yes, husband lucky enough to be at the match tonight, so I’m at home alone, both kids in bed with one minute to spare before kick off. Enjoy, everyone

VerticalHorizon · 07/07/2021 20:03

It's Walker who is fast. The fastest player on the pitch.

City fan here, he's blistering.

Susannahmoody · 07/07/2021 20:04

Let's hope we see Rashford playing

Go on Marcus lad

StarCourt · 07/07/2021 20:04

I'm watching with my dogs.
They don't know that though

MotherCanDoIt · 07/07/2021 20:04

@Drovememad I was trying to explain the unique feeling of being an England supporter. You’re forever hopeful but at the same time equally actually no even more so expect complete failure, so getting this far is relatively unknown stress induced territory where at all times you think the other team will score…. (Could just be me)

trevthecat · 07/07/2021 20:05

Kids in bed, glass of wine! Come on England!

username18702 · 07/07/2021 20:06

Great start!

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 20:07

@MotherCanDoIt agree, you almost don’t want to get your hopes up

I’m actually watching at home in Wales. I am Welsh, but seeing as Wales didn’t qualify for any football tournaments for most of my life, my default was to support England so enjoy everyone, I’m cheering with you.

LetsGoDoDoDo · 07/07/2021 20:08

Also watching alone. Come on England! Football

MotherCanDoIt · 07/07/2021 20:08

@VerticalHorizon just googled that, Walker is top at 23.49mph…Sterling doesn’t even make it to the list Shock

DisaL · 07/07/2021 20:09

I'm here watching on my own. My DS stuck his head round the door at 7.55 to say he was going to his friends to watch it there - charming!! He'll be bored by half time if the other games have been anything to go by so I'm going to enjoy the peace!

SavageBeauty73 · 07/07/2021 20:10

Even the dog has hidden under the sofa.

Come on England.

MoiraNotRuby · 07/07/2021 20:10

Just me and the dog watching here. One DC at friends, one not interested, DH at work. Same as all the other matches so superstitiously it seems for the best.

StarCourt · 07/07/2021 20:11

Unbeaten since November!

Erinrose82 · 07/07/2021 20:11

I'm in ! DP away in Newcastle and I was going to a friends but her son has come down with chicken pox and I'm pregnant. So me myself and I !xx

VerticalHorizon · 07/07/2021 20:12

Don't jinx it Mr Commentator

NotSureYet · 07/07/2021 20:14

Cracking start. The pace is great. Sterling's attempt was hopefully the first of many more successful ones 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Royalbloo · 07/07/2021 20:14

"Ooooooh!"

😂

OverweightPidgeon · 07/07/2021 20:14

I’m alone and painting the woodwork in my lounge with one eye on the game . Think I’d best down tools though as the cutting in is getting a bit messy !

Erinrose82 · 07/07/2021 20:16

God the nerves ....
