Can't believe they've cancelled Coronation Street for this.

Well they had to close the whole of Coronation St down and they couldn’t do any filming.

Nothing to do with the World Cup.

Turns out that some meecats have gone missing/escaped from Lower Drayton Farm and anyone that watches Coronation St know that the street is overrun with them.
They’ve defected apparently.

Apparently the reprobate “Bogdan” is to blame.

Back to the World Cup.

Didn’t get to watch any matches today apart from England v Tunisia.

Oh my goodness, how exciting was that match?......................but only for the first 15 minutes.


From bouncing on full of momentum and energy at the start, they very quickly appeared to lose interest.


Thank goodness they got back on track at the end.

Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
It wasn't a case of England losing interest, it was Tunisia equalising and then trying to kill the game. England stuck at it in a very dogged fashion albeit not playing flowing, exciting football and got their just reward in the end. England should have had the game won by half time. Missing chances will cost later in the tournament.

How the referee decided that rugby tackles are now allowed, I will never understand. I have generally been impressed at the high standard of officials but he was the worst referee in the tournament so far.

I did put the second half on, but the OH switched over to some farming programme when I was in the kitchen...

Totally agree with you about the referee, we said the same thing.
His bias was blatantly obvious.

Just a heads-up for those that own a playstation 4 and the PS4 VR headset.
Theres a free BBC app in the playstation store section that allows you to watch all the matches in virtual reality ;)

Switzerland manager joins long line of managers that are the spit of the eagle from the Muppets.

England joins the queue of teams that play almost magnificently, but still look a bit shit.

Russia goes above and beyond the standard deviation from the mean. And it's not like they've ever been accused of State sponsored doping, like.

Germany will still win, despite looking a bit shit.

Mark Lawrenson should never be let loose behind a microphone ever again.

England should be good for the Quarters but will be banjaxed by Senegal.

Everyone is being just a little bit shit.

Could it be something in the water?

Sitting in a pub outside the Chelsea ground watching Argentina exit the world cup.

The pub's full of Argentians and it is jolly good fun winding them up. Just waiting for the hand of God moment to spoil the fun once again.

enjoying it. south American countries have turned up in great numbers. peru fans have been great, and mexico.
we might have only played Tunisia and Panama, but when we scored 6, other teams took notice. Kane for golden boot. realistically we are a top 16 team, so anything from the quarter final on is a bonus.
flags up, bbq been busy, havvin it!

Germany........They think it’s all over. It is now.

Just watched the South Korea v Germany match. First time in 80 years a team has knocked Germany out in the first round.
The last 10 minutes of that march were super exciting.
