Have a soft spot for Spain as lived there briefly a long time ago ! Wouldn’t mind an upset either , but it is unlikely isn’t it.
The Spanish man on BBC is very nice.
At least it’s not Wayne Rooney for a change.

They’re talking about cats?!

the80sweregreat · 02/07/2026 20:15

Cat chat !

I start work at 1pm but had planned to go to the gym Monday morning. Somehow I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

We can add it to the national list of what’s not gonna happen 😁

LuckyHazelFox · 02/07/2026 20:19

Loved the cat chat ❤️ shows how blokes can have a soft side

IAmKerplunk · 02/07/2026 20:31

‘Consistently incorrect’ 🤣

PickfordsWaterBottle · 02/07/2026 20:37

Gol Espana

LuckyHazelFox · 02/07/2026 20:47

Grrrr was hoping this was going to be an upset match. Still time I suppose.

the80sweregreat · 02/07/2026 20:50

I feel that Spain will score in the second half and that will be that!

Yeah agree

IcedPurple · 02/07/2026 20:53

I think Spain being only 1-0 up doesn't reflect the run of play. They've totally dominated and I expect them to score at least 1 or 2 more.

Cat chat !

Who what where why? The football pundits. Did a cat wander onto the pitch? Has happened before.

Maggiethecat · 02/07/2026 18:19

Erm, Ghana, Panama and Ivory Coast weren’t supposed to be hard either!

I know I know!

Anthony Gordon played for Newcastle since 2023. I don't have a lot of time for him because of the way he left Everton but he is a decent player, bit inconsistent.

Ah ok, thanks.

frozendaisy · 02/07/2026 21:19

Spain just look quite relaxed about it all don’t they

LuckyHazelFox · 02/07/2026 21:22

I'm just trying to work out how I'm going to get round the 1 am KO on Monday. Bet loads of people are. I'm fortunate that I'm retired.

frozendaisy · 02/07/2026 21:22

I missed the car talk might have to insist we watch from the start after match has finished

the80sweregreat · 02/07/2026 21:23

Cat chat was about 18 minutes in.

Spain are smug bastards. There I said it.

the80sweregreat · 02/07/2026 21:24

Spain may be happy with 1/0
save their energy for future matches.

the80sweregreat · 02/07/2026 21:28

Nope, I’m wrong again! Lol

Tou were right about another goal in the second half though
