RE: World Cup

Vam · Go Outside.

I’m pretty sure you guys don’t need someone in Spain suggesting a way to keep up with all the match fixtures and where they’ll be airing in the UK 😂

But in case anyone is interested, I’ve found this site to be really handy (I just have to remember to keep adding 1 hour to the BBC/ITV scheduling times 😂)

What's with the leather shorts on English fans? They look like lederhosen without the suspenders or braces.

Is it an old school kit?.

It's the older guys. I saw some Friday night and thought maybe it was just those guys personal taste.

Then I saw some guys wearing them last night.🤷

Argentinian Lionel Messi breaks the all time WC scoring record with 2 goals against Austria.

His biggest fan was there to see him do it!

Oh bless her. He.missed a penalty but later scored two very good goals. When my grandson was little, Messi was his hero!

Aww…I love that 😂 You go, girl!

Okay…it can no longer be denied - this World Cup has turned me into an insomniac It’s almost 1.30am over here right now, but I don’t want to miss seeing Erling Haaland play tonight.

Are you sure you didn't walk into the Blue Oyster Bar by mistake (and nooooow I want to watch a Police Academy movie.)

I can't recall seeing any England fans wear leather shorts, like ever and I've been around a lot of them. Could it have been dark denim instead as some of them wear fitted shorts?

After watching the highlights that looked like a banger of a game. The Robot was on good form I see and it's nice the name on his jersey includes Braut (his mother's name who was very influential in him loving sports.)

However, I regret to inform everyone that France is winning the World Cup. No one is stopping that combination of Olise, Doue, Dembele and Mbappe.

He came. He saw. He… Viking-ed! All with that constant cherubic smile on his face 😂 The Norwegian fans bellowing out their ‘ROW!’ chant, made me glad I stayed up to watch the match.

And you could very well be right about France. I wonder if Red’s gonna lay some money down on that outcome 🤔

They looked just like lederhosen. Even had 3 buttons on the bottom.

I read that there was a trend for English fans to wear them when they played Germany, sort if as a joke.

Maybe they were all part of the same club in the UK and it's just something they so for grins.

Both teams advance with a draw so they were making sure they didn't lose..

Sometimes playing very defensively bites you in the ass. This time it didn't..
