Sweden vs England (QF) - 15:00 - 07/07/2018

[newbie]

Just driven through fucking South London fucking traffic in bastard fucking heat for two hours.

Back home now. Kids are with my mum. Quick bacon sandwich and then off out into the glorious summer to find a pub to watch it in followed by Hyde Park for one of my favourite bands in the whole wide world.

I rather enjoyed my venture into the heart of South London, 'cept for the tourists in cars Much carrying of ice and barbie bits with excited talk of being far, far too hot to watch football.

a couple of pints of doom bar.

Nice stuff. Got 4 cans of Abbott in the fridge.

 

[Rebelda]

I've walked the dog, had lunch, cider in the fridge; I'm ready to hide behind the sofa.

 

[binka]

Couple of chaps playing a game of tennis and they've put it on the BBC! I know they have to find something to fill the schedule with but it's getting a bit silly now

 

[Steel Icarus]

How is that going?

Halfway through the quiche now and no difficulties so far tbh

 

[Steel Icarus]

Same starting lineup as Colombia

 

[Steel Icarus]

Had rather hoped to see Danny Rose start but in Gareth I trust

Agreed with Danny Rose. Also not sure about Dele - seemed to be carrying a bit of an injury and didn't seem right in the last game. Still I'm with you IGIT

For the first time in my life I'm in an English pub to watch football. I've watched in spanish/Portuguese bars, but never a pub. I'm excited.

I hope you realise it rains beer when England score. On the plus side you'll end up making best mates with complete strangers for the evening.

Nice stuff. Got 4 cans of Abbott in the fridge.

4 pints of the local brewery's IPA in the fridge. and some bottles as a back up in case it goes to ET/pens.

My daughter and her boyfriend are here to watch it. They are making PImms. That boy certainly knows how to impress me.

It would have been funnier if it was Beckham in the picture.

 

[JimW]

Was all set for as relaxing a watch as poss (ETA kid bathed and in bed even!) in the circumstances but old friend passing through beijing got stranded at airport and we've just had a massive job getting her into a cab to come here and now I'll have to be a host while trying to watch telly over her shoulder

I recognise David Brent. Who's the other bloke?

 

[Rebelda]

That Pickford penalty save is still giving me goosebumps

 

[Steel Icarus]

Sakes. Five past two and I'm in bits

The 5 minute penalty montage at the start was a killer wasn't it

Excited (which i rarely am)

Snap!

Getting nervous now.

 

[May Kasahara]

Aargh, the nerves....I can't watch the pre-match build up.

Need to collect daughter from a party that finishes at 3 might leave now so I can just bundle her into the car. At least the roads will be empty.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Had to step away from the telly. Got my proper shirt on now. Deep breaths.

Ready.

[QueenOfGoths]

That Bobby Robson bit has got me all a bit tearful

I can't cope with the stress.
