In theory, the SFs will be France v Spain and Brazil v Argentina. But, who knows??

Heaven help us if this goes to penalties.

No. It's dull.

Canada's kit looks like the team has stood under a flock of seagulls and been shat on...

Oooh. Hopefully, we won't have to suffer extra time now ...

That's a good goal.

That should do it.

Thank god we will be spared extra time.

🤣

Canada lack quality and energy

Quite liking that Morocco's goalkeeper is called Bono..

Does he wear sunglasses indoors and generally act like a bit of a twat?

😄

His name is Bounou, and to be fair the male commentator has now started to pronounce his name properly.

Oh, Canada.

Thank god it’s over

It reminded me of Leigh Leopards, who I've just been watching.

I’ve lurked a bit on here, but unlurking to find out how everyone is approaching tomorrow night…?

Is anyone going to try to get some sleep before the game?

I’m usually asleep by around 22:00 each night (get up 5:30). I’m thinking I might attempt a split sleep. Anyone else?

I'm thinking of a nap in the afternoon.

I’m going to have a nap late afternoon or after dinner plus probably a cup of coffee or 2. I don’t have to be up Monday morning though and I regularly don’t sleep till gone midnight.

I will not be cheering France on.

Well, if it's anything like this evening's match, you might not have to worry about falling asleep...

I am having an evening off watching footy tonight.
Myplan for tomorrow is lie in until about 10am ,get out with family to enjoy beautiful weather . Nap about 7pm and either go to pub to watch the game or just stay at home and get husband and dog onboard …think pub with friends will win !

Come on Paraguay!

Come on France! They are a class team. Feel sorry for them all playing in the 38 degree heat 🥵
