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 .

Burst water main in our area; I am having to drink my celebratory malt whisky neat. The things I do for my country....

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.

gillybob Tue 03-Jul-18 22:22:07

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 !

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.

Squiffy Tue 03-Jul-18 22:28:28

Yes Gilly - karma ?

gillybob Tue 03-Jul-18 22:36:05

Karma indeed squiffy grin

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.
