Follow on from the last thread.

Morris dancers? 🤣

This thread is by far the best thing about this game so far

Blessed is the Rooney!
Well said!
It was indeed ‘crap’

WTF have the muppets and shakira got to do with football 🤣🤣🤣

Yorkshire tea break at the Euros.

Comments in this thread far better than the half time 'show'!😂

Morris dancers! The scary ones with the big sticks

A montage of all the goals scored in the competition would have been perfect for half time. Something actually relevant and of interest to those watching it.

I enjoyed the montage on bbc last night after the match

Fiiiight

It's definitely not "a cold rainy night in Stoke" is it?

What if it is 0-0 at the end of ET? Then we have to sit through penalties 😩

They could do Riverdance at half time, if we ever get any rain that is

Ooh kicking off!

If Macca does Mull of Kintyre you get bagpipes thrown in for free

I think either Pam Ayres reciting ‘I Wish I’d Looked After My Teeth’ or Judi Dench reciting Shakespeare

Me three

The cowboy monkey rodeo with Shakira would have been entertaining. Wouldn't have taken half an hour either.

Well if the Beeb are the host broadcaster, it'll have to be Drag Queens at halftime won't it?

Id like to see your first version of dancers; making some shapes to Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now 😄

Argentina has decided to go in full nastiness and who cares?

Damn, I thought I had edited it in time 🙈🤣🤣

Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris will definitely get their noses in on a half time break.
We also have peppa pig.

🤣🤣🤣

Great defending there!

The way those young kids moved was amazing.
