Can't bear the sing song, drum beating. Salute the fans and then leave.

@the80sweregreat wouldn't it be great if the Spanish team/fans did a flash mob to the Macarena 😂

Whoops!

Ignore post above @placemats 🤭

So Spain v Portugal match was so lacklustre, they're showing highlights from England Mexico match 😆

Oh god, me too.

I managed not to wake the rest of the household throughout the game, but actually woke my husband when I was cry-laughing at that interview. And then at Rooney still laughing when they went back to the studio.

That was so funny 😂

We're all cracking up again just watching that.
It will never not be hilarious.
Best post match interview EVER!
😆

Old school like Wayne Rooney

Is anyone staying around for the USA/ Belgium match ?
Is it still 1 am or has the weather changed it ?

I think I am!

Oh no I love watching the teams connect with the fans

Me too. Especially like what we saw with Norway yesterday. Simply qualifying for a WC, and then beating the mighty Brazil, is a once in a lifetime experience for those fans.

Can't England and Norway become mighty like Brazil and erm, Mexico?

I’m watching it 😀
Still 1am as far as I know

Bloody hell. We've had a birthday this weekend and I've been hosting, so Ive had barely any free time. I lost you all halfway through thread 3 and you've nearly filled this one!
Placemarking so I don't lose you all again, but I'm not sure I'll read all the previous posts.

Signing in. Never wanted a team to lose so much

I’m here!

I’m in, but only for the first 20 mins or so, honest!

I'm here, sort of. I will be driving but will have it on the radio- hope it is a one sided game with lots of goals.

It's Belgium playing, but on behalf of the rest of the World Cup teams v America.

Goal!

Yesssss

Good goal Belgium!

Allez la Belgique

Good shot
