Bravo Egypt! What a game

They should have.they didn't lose, they were robbed!

Egypt ❤️

Yeah, me too.

That's entertainment now. 😳

Me too

Also gutted.

Agree.

I can’t believe they let a 2/0 win go, but Argentina were too good.

That's the reality of it.

Who can we get to ring Infantino?

This doesn't bode well for England if we beat Norway.

So gutted for Egypt.

ENG v ARG would be a legendary - not faced each other in 21 years!

Yep! 3 goals so quick just wow!
Unbelievable

Andy or Keir? 🤷🏻‍♀️
Nige seems to be busy trying to win his own seat🤦🏻‍♀️🤯😵
Doubt HM would lower himself to that level.

Remember when Manchester United were in for the Treble (and won) Ferguson said we have to beat everyone to win.

I can't see Nige advocating for the pesky Egyptians somehow.

off topic but I really hope Nigel's gamble goes the same way as Theresa May's did when she thought a GE would strengthen her position and ended up haemorrhaging seats!

Not unless they've got £5m tucked in their luggage...

Ha ha. True @JoshLymanSwagger

Anyway, it was a good contest, and Argentina are a very good side. It's hard to see England getting past them, if we get that far.

Very many thanks @placemats and friends for all your efforts on these threads. Mostly a lurker but I occasionally run onto the pitch in excitement.

Ohhh we have our very first MN WC streaker!! 😮

I tend to be sent to the loo by @dapsnotplimsolls 😳

Might need to find someone else now - unless it only works for England games?🤔

@placemats Ta muchly again. The middle-of-the-night (with no sleep) games have been more fun with all of us chatting than just me whisper-shouting at my cats so I don't wake DH 🍻

Switzerland v Colombia anyone? 🤔
