Thoroughly enjoyed watching the opening match last night with my 8 year old footy mad grandson .
And what a match it was too, 5-0 to the hosts Russia . The Saudis might not have been on the pitch at all .

Teresa May has stepped in to say that the Royal Mail workers and others should be allowed to fly the English flag during the tournament, after the misery guts at RM banned it’s workers from doing so. Quite right too .

Well we played the cleaner game . Croatia played some very dirty tactics . I was sure VAR was turned off ! Our lads can hold their head up high !

varian Wed 11-Jul-18 21:39:00

Sorry, England played well but came second

gillybob Wed 11-Jul-18 21:39:38

No not 2nd varian . 3rd or 4th . They were amazing .

MiniMoon Wed 11-Jul-18 21:41:23

Well done England. They got farther than Portugal, Brazil, Argentina etc. We can be proud of those boys.
Keep up the good work Gareth.

gillybob Wed 11-Jul-18 21:43:25

Indeed Minimoon smile

We were beaten by a better team on the night sadly . The early goal did us no favours . Harry missing the sitter was an indicator on how the game would go sadly sad

Croatia will be anigalated in the final by France .

So proud of them x
