Follow on from the last thread.

No acknowledgment of Mexico and Canada at all.
They must have put a lot of time money and effort in ad well as the US ?

come on, Spain!

I'll be amazed if this matches up to last night. Handy snack hint - pistachios are an excellent snack while watching a tense game.

Yep, come on Spain. Muted the Argentinian anthem.

😅😅😅

That's a dress.

They didn't consider the possibility of it raining did they?

Noting the camera stayed away from here after a small glance

I hope the cheating Argentinians get their comeuppance. And golden boot for Mbappe.

Vamos Espana!

🇪🇦

I've just worked out the look Robbie was channelling! He was going full Goldie Looking Chain!

What Sheila said 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

I agree. I hope this report isn't true

'I am CANADIAN!'

The Spanish captain is a tall chap!

wouldn’t be surprised, he doesn’t have the voice for that kind of projection. What absolute cringeworthy nonsense.

Katy Perry was obviously busy tonight, she’s normally a go-to for these sorts of things.

Who is looking forward to the Los Angeles Olympics? Hands Up!

Have been in bed most of the day with a horrible migraine - it has now eased somewhat but no doubt it will return when I start cheering heartily and with a tonne of gusto for Spain!!

IMHO I don't care for national anthems being played before sporting events. It makes sense in international finals, I guess, but that's about it.

urgh

I'm interested to see how much integrity the ref has tonight.

Goodness what a lot of shouting!

Omg can they just stop preaching?

Im being really dim here I thought Mbappe was French why do people keep mentioning him in realtion to this match?

Mikel Merino for the injury time winner!

Come on Spain! 🇪🇸
