Bellingham seems to be playing better as the tournament goes on. Let’s hope his ego for big games lives up to the hype 😍

COME ON ENGLAND! (sorry for shouting, but I’m very excited)

Bit nervous for England tonight.
It’s never an easy watch is it.

It’s squeaky time!

Yep.

Haaland doesn’t actually do much else apart from scoring goals, and he’s very dependent on his team-mates creating chances for him. Therefore, our best strategy is to cut off his supply by monopolising possession of the ball as much as possible, particularly if we score first. Easier said than done, of course. I’m sure Tuchel has a plan. 🤞

Show quote history

you underestimate Haaland, he does far more than just score goals,

HumbleKatey · 11/07/2026 16:28

In the extreme heat one or both sides may decide to conserve energy early in the match, then strategy will change significantly as the game progresses. It’s definitely going to be a game of two halves … or four quarters to be more precise. Plus possibly two extra-time halves. That’s a lot of halves and quarters.

What terrible news about Jayden Adams 😭

I hope Clive is advising Tuchel. He's our only hope.

OMG <faints - could be heatstroke>

the80sweregreat · 11/07/2026 18:23

Just read that the match may even be cancelled? Anyone else seen this online ?

the80sweregreat · 11/07/2026 18:23

.. due to the weather apparently.

DuncinToffee · 11/07/2026 18:25

I haven't seen anything

Feelblue · 11/07/2026 18:54

There’s BBC on potential weather related issues. It includes heat safety and the risk of lightning again meaning half hour delays. There are updates on TalkSport but I don’t want to pay or get cookies

Checked AP and CNN websites - nothing about that.

Checked a couple of weather sites...it might rain towards the end of the game or in ET but doesn't show T&L which would be the bigger problem.

🙏🏻🤞🏻

the80sweregreat · 11/07/2026 19:04

I saw something on the daily mail website, but then it said delayed a bit later on.
Not sure now. I hope it’s not too disrupted

The tennis was good. 5 champion ship points saved.
It was a roller coaster washt it. I haven’t seen that many games this year.
