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 .

I imagine that there will be a lot of exhausted children in school today!

Me too fruitloop grin

My little grandson (8) was tearing around the house like a boy possessed. Took him ages to settle down and go to sleep . Goodness knows what he’s like today at school .

I'm still exhausted from last night. Spent a lot of time watching from behind a cushion

By George! England were lucky. If Columbia was meant to be the easier route to the Grand Final, then it's just as well they avoided Japan. grin
Hope it's also a dramatic encounter v the Swedes!
Good Luck.

The internet went down here too at half time gillybob
Teenager was distraught that he couldn't snapchat the match, but had to sit and watch it instead.

We’ve had an internet blackout here !

What a game . So many disgusting fouls from the Columbians . I hate penalties but the best team and the most decent team won !

I’m thrilled for (our local lad ) Jordan Pickford !

Couldn't watch the penalties, had to go to my bedroom then a joyous Mr R came to get me - Hooray for England!! Now for Sweden and I doubt they will be as dirty as the Columbians.
