FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 - DISCUSSION AND WATCHALONG THREAD ⚽️. Part 5

[placemats]

Follow on

I had been watching tennis as well and that has now tapered off .

Off to now water my mums garden .
Boring !!

I'm watching the fantastic Educating Rita for the goodness knows how many times. I am chuckling away at Rita's beautiful and refreshing naivety.

I’m still trying to find something to watch ☹️

First time I’ve tried it and discovered that I agree with you. The magic isn’t there for me to watch a whole match when I know the result. It’s too hot to do much here.

I love Educating Rita. Such a great film

Do you know Yeats? What the wine lodge? 😆 🤣 😂

I love the ending where she ends up reciting poetry back to the professor ( can’t remember his film name )
Michael Caine as a drunk is amazing isn’t he.
I haven’t watched it for years , but it did stay with me.

Sadly indooe pool. We used to live right by the sea and I miss the water. I would swim often. Our liido is currently broken and the community is fighting to keep it open, so hopefully by August, we might get a couple of weeks in there.

Does anybody know if @mumofonealoneandwell is OK? Haven't seen her for ages and she started this first thread.

Like how they should have polished off CV and Egypt 😂

They won them both but hardly easy affairs for Argentina.

Just been shopping but forgot snack for this evening, have to venture out later when it’s even hotter 🔥

Didn't realise that Deschamps is leaving as France's manager after this World Cup.

No I haven't either, I miss her & gifs. I wonder if MN have banned her? Some of the bannings are getting ridiculous.

Oh I hope not. She's such a fun person x

Oh that's rubbish 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼for your Lido!!

I hope she's back soon too!! 🤗

Would be a nice high to go out on if they lift the cup.

Who is watching tonight?

Me! I've already opened the prosecco. I don't think Morroco are going to make it easy for France. Tonight, I'm Morrocan. 🇲🇦

Just seen that FIFA has banned England defender Jarell Quansah for two matches over his red card against Mexico.

So now expecting the Prime Minister, the King, the Lord Mayor of London and Paddington Bear to call them up to overturn it.

I’ve barely seen France play so I don’t know what they’re like. Have all of their matches been late ones?

We have to wait until 9? Gawd.

France have been so good , but so were Argentina the other day too. I do think it’ll end up those two again tbh.

Tonight I am Moroccan too!
Hoping it will be a good match

❤️ we need your gut kicking in after kick off!
