Let the conversation continue.

Parking my big fat London bus here

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Come on!

Me too - looking at this feels easier than looking at the match! I might need wine...

England expects that this day that every man shall do his duty.

Nice to see a Nelson reference

Let’s goooooooooo!

Where is everyone watching from? I’m in Toronto, but half English and lived there for 15 years. Desperate for a win!

Late to the thread tonight. Not watching alone tonight so feel rude being on my phone but it calms my nerves being on the thread.

& We’re off🙌

Parking myself here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

Any Scots on here - don't snip the tags off your Argentina shirts, you can take them back and should be able to swap them for Spanish shirts for the final.

Mick jagger doesn't seem to have aged since the 80's !

Gosh I hope we don’t get someone sent off in this game… the ref needs to get his card out for the Argentinians

My 7yo is doing everything in her power to stress me out even more

Our lads need to keep their cool

I don't normally watch, but making an exception for such a big game. The stress of it! Argentina seem to be behaving quite badly?

Thanking you for the new thread @placemats 😘

@Nighttimenoise I know right! And he is in his 80s!

It’s seem so much faster and stressier than the previous games

Anyone else in a pub trying to look interested? Dh really wanted to go to our local bar, I’ve gone because it’s air conditioned

What are the crowd singing?

Argie corner ., ;(

I'm finding it hard to focus

Dh and ds are at our local football ground, it’s being screened outside on a giant screen. I was invited but I don’t like all the noise that comes from mass football watching, nor am i a football fan. I switched it on at kick off but switched it back off again! Will keep an eye on this thread, might have a bath and just enjoy the peace and quiet 😂😂

norway england match was more entertaining

hydration break

It’s very nervy isn’t it
