Wotcha!

Who's looking forward to 🇪🇸 v 🇫🇷
and who are you supporting?!

Ooh forgot about that. Spain 🇪🇸

France 🇫🇷

Not saying anything. 😄

🇪🇸

Supporting Spain but won't be overly bothered if France win.

France for me as well. Sorry, but Spain have been boring to watch. And I loved Mbappe's response to that revolting racist Paraguayan politician.

Spain

either way it’s the real final 😃

hoping for an exciting 3-2 blast of a game

😂😂😂😂

If England do go through my neighbours up in Scotland won’t be happy with my delirious screaming 😜

I am neutral 🇨🇵🇪🇦

Spain 🇪🇸 for me just in case we get to the final.

I like some player in the French team ...but unfortunately...2 of the Spanish players look like my sons ...so what can I do ..mama has to support her little 🐥 🐥!! 😅😂😅😂!

As you can obviously tell by my posting history...my technical knowledge of football is ...0%!
😅😅

Oh fuck off FIFA

"The half-time break at the World Cup final is expected to be around 30 minutes long in order to accommodate Fifa’s star-studded show — breaching the maximum time of 15 minutes permitted under the Laws of the Game"

Spain

Money money money, it's a rich man's world cup

FFS, it's not the bleddy Superbowl.

I won't be entertaining it. If England are in the final, I will sit in the garden for half an hour.

Why are FIFA like this ? Why doesn’t anyone stop them ? Why is there so much corruption in sport in general.

It's all about the 💰 🤑 💸

I will pause the TV and get on with writing my diary. There's always channel 4!

eta Could file my nails and tidy up my eyebrows.

😆 🤣 sounds good to me

Yes I will put on channel 4 for half time too

I've just poured a brandy and soda on the rocks 🍸

I have some Pimm's, strawberries, cucumber and lemonade.
