A thread for those who are watching it.

Not sure how interested in it I will be.
Like I said on the not watching thread, it may depend how far some Countires I am interested in, get to, in the competition.

I’m not Scottish but the bagpipes brought a lump to my throat and the duck waddling along wearing a saltire made me laugh. 🤣🤣

Sarnia are you aware that Emma Hayes is British and umm had a fair bit of success as Chelsea women's manager? That's why the USA women's team 'poached' her away to coach their national team.

I confess that I was not aware of her achievements. However, my 2 sons, 1 of my daughters and a grandson, all Chelsea supporters have let me know in no uncertain terms. I am suitably chastened. blush

You're forgiven! I too am a lifelong Chelsea supporter unlike my husband, sons and grandsons who support a different London club 🙄

We have a mix of Chelsea, Southampton, Norwich, Leeds, Manchester United & City. Great fun when they play each other. grin

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to see any of the World Cup, only the Scottish fans celebrating on catchup 😊
