Follow on from the last thread.

Itv I caught a Spanish advert/ guitar flamenco

If it goes to extra time, I may switch to ITV.

Never been a fan until this very moment

3 weeks

Just turned over to stv. Said it was terrible for a World Cup final. The entertainment

Shaikra wasn’t too bad. She can dance✔️

A long time

'half' as a descriptor should be reported to the Trade Descriptions Officers

Situation normal now. Shocking, shocking breach of football rules for a bunch of self obsessed celebs. World football is the loser here. FIFA are The Muppets.

Is the commentary sounds levels really off with anyone else or just my tv?

Ha ha good on Wayne Rooney!

What did itv show during bbc ad?

I need the laughing emoji!

Just trying to think what I would have put on instead, given the US networks were going to insist on an ad break.

Probably just ads. Maybe a lap of honour by the Spanish women’s team.

A video of paint drying.

Jesus I am cringing so hard I might turn myself inside out.

The whole thing is giving ‘how do you do, fellow soccer fans?’ and it’s AWFUL.

The club teams and players will be really angry if players get injured due to that type of half time. Yes they will have planned but it’s not normal

So if the Women’s World Cup is in the US, that would be awful, but at least it'd be all women playing. Dilemma?

I boycotted it all - just catching up on the comments 😂

What will England do for the euros ?
Tea breaks. Dancing dinner ladies ? Bagpipes or McCartney ?

Thomas Shelby, wagging his finger at all thehalf time‘entertainment’, one by one.“No fucking singing”

Me too. The comments have made me properly laugh though 🤣

Nice seeing Ted lasso ! He is an inspiration

Na. A tribute to the NHS.... Which no one outside the UK gets...
