Let the conversation continue.

Bloody hydration break

17 needs to back off from Pickford.

not much happened

I'm having a sangria break 🍷

is it very hot tonight, or is it just me

Nice to hear Martin Tyler still commentating, at the age of 80.

11 fowls!

It's a cagey game for both sides. Alan is giving his wisdom.

TT having a chat.
11 fouls already ..

I’m just on water tonight 😩

I'm boiling!

Fair play to all the players, there's no way I could get on the pitch with the whole country behind them! The pressure would be so overwhelming! I'd crumble so hard 😂😂

It's very hot and stuffy where I am

@StacyFromCroydon oohhhh I haven’t had a sangria for ages. Might add it to my shopping as Tis the season to be drinking it.

I wish someone would put a blanket over Wayne Rooney.

You tart 😆 🤣 😂

Hydration break? Are they in primary school?

Yet to catch up on the thread but wtaf is this game so far?! All I can see is dirty play and hear the commentators note the instances when Messi isn't getting his own way?!

Hydration break - JD and coke

Icy morning here in southern Australia.

Aldi sells them.

So many dirty moves, fifa is def rigged towards Argentina winning!!

i always think messi looks a bit rough...like he just staggered out of a pub...thats how he tricks them!

I know nothing about football but even I know that they're playing dirty

No scotch whisky 😅
