So it's France v Spain in the 1st semi final on Tuesday

Correct. Off to bed soon. Always think the semi finals are better than the finals. Though the women's Wimbledon final today was brilliant.

Yes Switzerland!!!

GOAAAAL Switzerland

Oh dear. Embolo 2nd yellow card and is off.

Please may Argentina be sent packing!

Oh nooooo!

Switzerland now down to 10 men

Whoever I root for openly loses. I need to learn to stay silent!

Start rooting for Argentina 🤣

Crap re the sending off.

I'm back! Can't sleep and saw all the excitement going on. Messi telling the ref do not disrespect me! Ooo errr!

You know your duty.

Oh dear

Just woken up. Blimey.

9 minutes and the Swiss are on the line

Argentina have missed so many chances

If Argentina don’t score against 10 men Swiss wtf

Hoping for pens if I’m honest!

Embarrassing.

Extra time! So tired but can’t stop watching now 🙈

Might as well if we’re up and watching it 🤣

Argentina out on penalties would be great!

Yeeeh! I’m so tired it’s ridiculous. But if pens are on I’ll power through like a champ

Side netting 😂

This is not going how Argentina thought it would!

And it’s starting to get light outside 😱
