FFS.

This better not be FIFA messing around as usual.

What's going on here?

Hate these stuttering run ups when taking a penalty

YESwaaaaaaay!!! 🇳🇴

Yes a win for Norway.

Yes well done Norway 🇳🇴

Why is it still going ?!

Yay!!!!! Well done Norway!

Phew, thought the buggers might equalise for a minute there!

Great result.
Now just need Kane to do the same for England!

FIFA giving Brazil every chance there. Well done Norway! 🇳🇴

A-ha!

Norway had been hunting high and low for a goal and then they got two!

😂

Hate seeing little kiddies of the losing team crying though ☹️

Okay my strategy is to take a short nap during the next match and wax lyrical about the green and pleasant land that is England.

😆 🤣

The ref questionable,why was there a penalty and why did extra time go on for so long? Am not confident that we will not be stitched up later!
Am going to have a shower,food and nap to try and keep going!

Off to cook dinner before the game (we're in the US) so perfectly timed for us!
My DH is Mexican....viva Mexico!

Welcome a Mexican supporter x
@ModernV

You can go off people you know ... 😁

Welcome @ModernV ,what is on the menu ?

@ModernV how are the Mexicans feeling about the game ?
Are they really confident ?

I saw England play against Northern Ireland in Windsor Park Belfast and fell in love. Of course when George Best came on and scored it was brilliant. However I was secretly glad that England won. Catholic born. I was about 11 at the time.

Seeing that hand ball again grr 😠 😡 hand of God my eye
