World Cup

Many of my family stayed up to watch Scotland play. DH taped it, then watched it this morning, everyone was sworn to secrecy, until he had done so.

I am not a football fan, but my family are, it's going to be a long haul. DH would watch flies playing football, if nothing else was available.

Well done Scotland! At least DH will be in a good mood! 😊

My team too Sarnia 👍
Well done Scotland ⚽️

I am British but live in Canada so I am supporting England and Canada.
The score today was 1:1 when Canada played Bosnia in Toronto.

I only saw the last few minutes. My partner said Canada didn’t deserve to lose so I glad they equalised.

And I was glad to see Cyle Larin from my team, Southampton, score the equaliser.

A Canadian I know, today said it is the first time that Canada has scored a point in the World Cup!

Well done Canada!

And well done Scotland!

She also said, that everyone in the Group has 1 point so far.
She wondered, like I do, what happens if everyone in a Group gets equal points?

I know I could look up the answer myself.

I sat up to watch the Scotland game Sunday morning, I don't usually watch football, broad daylight when it finished at 4 am

Did you sleep afterwards?

We won’t be watching it this time which I find rather sad, because my DH due to suffering a massive stroke resulting in cognitive impairment no longer has any interest in football, though he loved the game before. Myself and the family have tried to reignite his interest but he will not engage with it anymore. 😕

Sorry to hear that F S ,my O H didn't watch it either, he has lost interest in football since Alzheimers ,but I sat up to watch it..

trump cant get money from this and he wants his b.d party

ego. wonder if the fifa gold made him more stupid and every laugh at him boohoo

Fancythat, yes I slept till 11.30...and had to waken O H at midday..

I deliberately didn't watch the Scotland game, although I was awake having a cuppa. My reasoning is, every time I watch something where I have a preference, my preference loses! Wimbledon, Olympics, golf etc you name it. So now I wait until it's over

Did anyone else find that the Netherlands red kit was so bright it made their eyes blur? Or was it just my telly…

Hello fellow fan!
I enjoy watching the big competitions and playing Spot the Saint. It's surprising how many past and present players pop up.

It is Sarnia MrJ is a Leeds fan, a few of their players around too, old and current.

Cape Verde wow!!

Rather shocked that Cape Verde held Spain to a draw 🙀

Brilliant goalkeeper 👏

Population Cape Verde, 1/2 million.

Never enjoyed a nil all draw like that but WOW the Cape Verde goalie was super. What a great game.

The Cape Verde match was amazing. I am pleased they held Spain to a draw.

A wonderful goalkeeper, a great draw for Cape Verde.

I’m trying not to watch, but DH will watch as many matches as he possibly can.

So would mine!! I’ve joked before and said if there was one legged penguin football he’d watch it!

Yep, so bright (thought it was orange). We found the first half of the game pretty boring, particularly the play of the Netherlands team. Turned off at half-time, but apparently we missed the best half with a resulting draw. So pleased that Japan scored and equalised - they were more interesting to watch as a team!

If a group all have equal number of points then goal differences will determine the places. As far as I know it’s never happened.

Cape Verde match was magnificent, their defence was brilliant and their 40 year old goalkeeper deserves every good thing said about him.
Now watching Belgium v Egypt, some players from local Premier League teams so of course of interest.
In the studio shocked to see Theo Walcott who looked about 15 only a few years ago.
He still seems a lovely man.
