We need a hydration break methinks.

Mixing another limoncello spritz

I’ve got Norway as my “crap team” in the office sweepstake. (We get a top rank team and a Lower ranked team. There’s a prize for worst team and best performing crap team) so I am delighted with Norway’s progress so far.

He is cute. I thought Mexicans were all short arses but he isn’t.

Is the ref Mexican?!!

Feeling a bit Peter Purvis here! 😬

Get in there!

Norway are definitely not crap! Probably the dark horse of the tournament.

Iranian lives in Australia.

Yes!

He may as well be.

We have a complicated thingy. I have Mexico and Jimenez among others so this game is kind of win-win 😁

Agree. They all needed to settle

I think the Ref has been alright, agree the penalty was a soft one.

My toddler has woken up and joined us, at least we will be equally tired tomorrow

Smart move to take O'Reilly off after that elbow.

Dig in England

He's so hesitant to card any of their team, yet so quick to act in ours.

I know where I'd love to shove his whistle...

remember agincourt, lads.

This is insanely tense !

😭😭

MY BLOOD PRESSURE.

also ive finished my bottle of wine and im meant to be working at 9. Oh god.

A dive for the cameras 🤣

This is crazy, I'm up because it's on, but not actually watching it, because it's too tense. I'm an idiot!
