Had a knock

That was nice with the pics of them as kids

Nerves are shredded here like

God I hate Rio

It's not representative of the whole I agree, it's just so fucking disappointing because their behaviour is the shit that will be broadcast to the world.

Absolute dickheads man. No wonder other countries hate us

As the end of the tournament is approaching, just want to say how absolutely class the forum has been the last couple of weeks. It's obviously helped that England have gone so far, but all the discussion threads on each game/group etc. have been great - place has had a real buzz about it. Even the arguments I feel like have been (on the WHOLE) fairly good natured. Gives a good preview of what this place could be like if we all had a good club team to get behind Also just want to add I haven't started drinking yet.

This is it for me. The feeling that this could easily be the only time in my life a team I support is in a final.

I feel sick

That's class, sums up my feelings entirely

SAME. Struggled to sleep with nerves/anticipation and then woke up early anyway hoping I’ll crash and can have a nap before 8pm

So happy for Messi, would have been a crime for him to never get an international trophy

Foden a doubt. It's mad that I'm not that worried as we've got so many other class attackers - England teams past a player like Foden would be the talisman and we'd have a national prayer day launched to heal him in time for Sunday night.

I think anyone who has read that open letter pre-tournament, or any of the other times he's spoken about what a modern England/Britain should be and what this team represents to him, will know that he's not some frothing nationalist. Clumsily worded though, no doubt.

Looks awful as a headline - in context of the article it's not as bad. But yeah, poor decision to bring it up at all.

Agree with this. Each group in a different country. Then the two sides of the draw in 1 country each (say Italy & Spain) for R16/QF, then Semis and Final in Wembley. Would've meant any nation has to travel a maximum of 3 times between rounds.

That’s quite good tbf

Watching at home with my Dad. Got invited round a mate's house to watch it but it felt wrong leaving him to watch it alone

Can only assume people misinterpret Three Lions as being arrogant, rather than what it really is - a lament about how shit we always are and hoping desperately that it might one day change. Amazed at the levels of fewm England seem to be generating for what was at worst a soft penalty not just here mind, r/soccer has been baying for blood the last 48 hours.

Anyone else really restless tonight? I don't know what to do with myself. Just want to be back in the pub shouting at a screen with my nerves shredded

My boss approved a day of leave on Monday
