I know not everyone will be watching but just interested to see the consensus.

I.e. at home, at a friends house or party, a fan zone, a pub, Wembley etc.

I'll either be at home or just going to a friends. There'd probably be a lot more in pubs if not for the restrictions. Having to book etc will put people off (and it being a Sunday night).

We're in 'Continental Europe'. Never come across the sentiment expressed by snoin. I can't imagine being so small minded as to hate an entire country. How ridiculous. Back to the OP's question, at home pacing the floor.

Oh and I don’t like parsnips but I don’t go in the supermarket and throw them around. I just let them sit there in their parsnipy glory, living their life whilst I live nine. Be more parsnip, dear.
Be more parsnip🤣🤣

I don’t care who wins. I hate the tribalism of competitive sports. I have never had a competitive bone in my body. I also can’t comprehend how people can get excited about kicking a ball around. As long as the match is fair, then the best team will win obviously.

No, not bitter.

If they win, then they win. I'll just be delighted if they don't. :)

frustratedgreeter · 10/07/2021 15:42

BritWifeInUSA it will be on ESPN with Steve Mcmanaman as a commentator or they had a match on the other day on ABC so try there as a second option.

frustratedgreeter · 10/07/2021 15:44

In in NY. Very excited to be going to our local sports bar with our expat friends. We’ve reserved our lucky table from Wednesday!

CrotchetyQuaver · 10/07/2021 15:48

At home
Local pub won't be opening due to at least 9 covid infections occurring after last Saturday nights match ☹️ it's not a rowdy pub either...

What’s your justification for hating an entire nation? I’m intrigued. I mean most of us have a dislike for certain things but it takes a special energy to hate England and everyone in it. Your life must be nothing short of exhausting. Have a lay down.
frustratedgreeter · 10/07/2021 15:55

ZingDramaQueenOfSheba Lucky table, lucky friends, lucky t-shirt, lucky pants - think we’ve got everything covered. A lot of BA/Virgin flight crew stay at our local hotel so Wednesday had a good crowd. We still believe!!!!

I have nothing but contempt for the “anyone but England” mentality of some of the more racist and unpleasant members of the Scottish fraternity

I'm in Cornwall which, despite what they think, is actually part of England and there are a number of people here who are doing the same and wanting italy to win just because they hate the English.

They are English ffs.

Anyway, my daughter is organising us all as she's the football fan. We're going up to the big house (my dads place) and watching it in the newly decorated cinema room (his 80th birthday present ). We're apparently having a buffet cooked by them both and there will be cocktails (but not for the 15 year old).

Geamhradh · 10/07/2021 17:27

I'm in Italy (British) and will be watching on my sofa. Dp (Italian) will be watching in the bar with his mates. DD will be at the tennis club with her mates.

ThatWayNoItsThatWay · 10/07/2021 17:39

Yes I will. Looking forward to it so much :)

MrsDThomas · 10/07/2021 17:44

Yes 🇮🇹

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 10/07/2021 17:44

@MrsDThomas

Yes 🇮🇹
🤣

are you drunk or just hungover?

MrsDThomas · 10/07/2021 17:49

Neither. Why?

Cantthinkofabettername · 10/07/2021 17:56

Watching it in the garden. DS (17) has some friends coming over so he’s taking bottles of wine to the neighbours before the match Grin

Coasterfan · 10/07/2021 18:00

We ll be watching at home, we have a theme park day out during the day but should be home before kick off!

Mumofboys1 · 10/07/2021 18:05

I’m watching at home, with my Dh and boys 7 & 5. I can’t wait to share this experience with them!

LubaLuca · 10/07/2021 18:12

At home, just us due to one of us having to isolate. We had intended to go to the local, but never mind. Pizza and beer at home instead Smile

I'm stealing this.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 10/07/2021 18:38

At home with 8yo DS. I have to be at work on Monday morning and I don't like taking DS to the pub when loads of people will be pissed.

TheTurn0fTheScrew · 10/07/2021 18:46

At home. I enjoy football and get to a few matches a season, but don't enjoy the drunken twattery that big England games bring out in too many people (I know, not all football fans). Got some snacks for half time in the hope of enticing the DC to join me for the second half, which worked for the semi final.

LakieLady · 10/07/2021 18:47

At home. Djokovic will win.
