The world cup

Maybe if we all focus our minds it will be a kind of mind-full-ness ? DanniRae will that work do you think? Sold out of smart waistcoats in this neck of the woods, I do have an old woolly pully that I intend to wear though just to show willing.

Well I’ve got my drum ? Rufus and I shall be beating it with everything I’ve got ! Might give the God Save the Queen a miss though. Interesting to know who would represent us if we make the final? Maybe Putin himself would stand in as Apparently we have Russia behind us now too which can’t be bad (or can it?) . Glad we can count on your loyal support Ruf I’m sure it will make all the difference. Come on England ??????? ??????? ???????

I don’t think I will be able to concentrate at work today (but that’s nothing new) .

Got my waistcoat on already Iam64 and I'd definitely be mindfullnessing if I knew how!
I'd mindfullness all day (google it first) if I thought it would help!

Well that’s France in the final then . Fingers crossed we will be joining them
Gillybob; Don't you worry about that! Gather your
loyal supporters about you, including all Black Adder tragics (like me - "that's why we hate the French". ) plus the Royal Trumpeters, (not Donald's!) up in the stands and sing "God Save the Queen" at the top of your voices!
Oh! and wave the GN's banner vigorously so I can pick you out in the crowd.
C'mon the Poms and Good Luck!
Ooroo

I don’t think my heart can take it Iam I’m considering taking one or two of DH’s BP tablets to see me through .

I'm beginning to find it a bit nerve wracking. Shall we all wear waistcoats tomorrow and practice a bit of mindfulness during the day as a means of supporting our team.

Well that’s France in the final then . Fingers crossed we will be joining them ?

OMG I can't believe that we have got this far.......it's like an impossible dream........one more match and we are in THE FINAL.
COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have dared to dream myself too farview . I’m quite looking forward to the France v Belgium game tomorrow which should be exciting .

England ??????? will make the final. I’m sure of it !

Bag of nerves..BUT do believe we can do it!!! Come on ENGLAND!!! sooo excited!!!!(nervous)

giily

Good clip

Trained not trainer !

A local lad too Charleygirl trainer at Sunderland Academy . I would have loved to hear what he was shouting yesterday ( he did plenty of it) although many might not have understood his accent

You should definitely open that bottle of wine !

I agree, we can but dream. I did not see much of the Croatia match last night so I do not know if they are foul players or not. It was so pleasant to see England and Sweden playing decent football. There was some grabbing of tops but it was not too bad.

Young Jordan excelled himself with his goal keeping skills.

ITV Wednesday and I will be there at 7pm- dare I open a bottle of wine or would that be chancing it?

You’re welcome Waterloosunset

Thank you so much Gilly - goosebumps and happy tears x

Meant to add that my son sent me this last night . It’s only a short clip but really funny and clever.

Dare we dream ? I’m guessing that we are all old enough to remember the last time .....

Enjoyed the match yesterday......look forward to Wednesday.....

And we've seen the best behaviour for many a long year from players, pundits and fans!

It’s the best England have done for many a long year so well done to them

My nerves are just about shot !

Back home after having a really sociable day and now we know it's Croatia next.

At least both teams have suffered the experience of the dreaded penalty shoot out.

Well done so far.

Well bring on the semi final .

So pleased for you England x
