🇪🇸 ⚽️ 🥅

Trying to manifest a goal for Spain!!

Bellingham?

He came on yesterday and scored the 6th goal

Wonder what the next Spanish goal will be disallowed for?

Hahah, even the arg coach got carded!

There are no words for how much I loathe the Argentina team.

Messi was given a robe before taking the trophy when Argentina won the world cup in Qatar. A MNer said it looked like he was wearing a negligée and so it has been known thereafter.

Yes they are. How they got away with what they did against England is beyond me.

Because it was against Vargentina, that’s enough apparently.

If Spain wins, Trump will claim his granny was Spanish

Football gods please let Spain score

Cripes. Spain look exhausted

Trump would have sold his grannies to get what he wants no doubt ‘

Just too tired so switching to radio or iplayer. I’ll check in here but I need to get ready for bed

No not bellingham

Someone else, not stones but cant remember his name

Both DC are asleep on the sofa. DD is snoring loudly.

Thank you. I'd probably stopped watching in annoyance by that point!

It’s the final count down ..
Love this song

Christ looking at the falls these Spain players are taking full onto their hips I'm amazed there aren't fractures

Role on Euro ‘28. Watching this farce is intolerable.

Gordon

Not now!

So US shite.

Their hips don’t crack !

Starting to get a bad feeling about this...

The 'P' word is looming.

I’m not sure if actual football fans are too bothered about his personality - think they are impressed with his skill and decades of top tier football talent?

From the New York Times

'The fashion credits are starting to roll in for the halftime show. Madonna’s mauve satin sports-adjacent look was by Saint Laurent and Swarovski, Shakira wore Roberto Cavalli by Fausto Puglisi, and Bieber wore his own brand, SKYLRK. The trophy, of course, wore Louis Vuitton (or at least they made the trunk the trophy is carried in). And then there’s Thom Browne, who designed the white suit Jennifer Hudson wore to sing the national anthem, and the beige jacket Melania Trump is wearing.'

In case anyone is interested!
