I must admit I poured myself a triple gin and tonic after the match and needed something to dull out the disappointment. Supermarkets were quiet this morning but I live in Wales so think it’s more to do with the snow and ice unless they were celebrating our loss? lol
I’m avoiding twitter and social to be honest. As soon as Kane missed that penalty I knew the British tabloid press and the fickle masses would be flocking to vilify him. I’m living in ignorance from all that today thankfully lol.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I am gutted about yesterday's result, I really was cheering for us to win and finally have the chance to even go to the semi-finals, but deep inside also telling myself not to get too excited as we have been disappointed many times in the past.
I hope you poured me a drink and drank it
, as I don't drink myself.Just had a cup of tea. So let's have that instead (I did have mulled wine with a shot of rum last night but as I work tomorrow...)I mean, don't get me wrong, I am gutted about yesterday's result, I really was cheering for us to win and finally have the chance to even go to the semi-finals, but deep inside also telling myself not to get too excited as we have been disappointed many times in the past.

I avoid it by never joining it. Can’t be bothered with any of it. I suspect Kane’s miss will be forgotten when he becomes England’s top scorer with his next goal.
Your friend is Steve Rogers?! Wow, he was a pitcher I really loved watching when I was a kid. That 1981 Expos team had enough to win the World Series, but one swing of Rick Monday's bat broke a lot of hearts.
Harry Kane will go like Steve Rogers, though: he'll shake it off and resume his career at the highest levels. Failure is a part of the game, and England should feel absolutely no shame in losing to a team as good as France is. Normally I'm pretty hard on Gareth Southgate, but he didn't do a lot wrong in this match: he stuck with a more attacking starting lineup that caused France problems rather than revert to a back 3. Maybe should have brought in Rashford earlier instead of Sterling, but I don't think it would have mattered.
Anybody but Argentina.
While I like France, (gorgeous kit, a very good team, and I adore French culture, the language, the history, the cuisine), and would not regret it were they to claim victory, at this stage, I would like to see a team that has never won the World Cup lift the trophy. So, Croatia or Morocco.

We would exchange pleasantries during the 80's -90 and this century at those Expofest.
Steve is just a class professional person who loves to laugh!
I don't know if he is watching the *World Cup, I have not seen him since 2016, and very briefly
*on topic
The Moroccan football team has a player whose last name is Allah. They literally have God on their side.
The Morocco v France should be a very interesting game IF the Moroccon manager has done his homework properly because the England v France game would have given him a few good pointers. Mbappe was contained BUT it allowed Giroud and Griezmann more freedom. Will be interesting to see what tactics he uses.
I’m afraid you are mistaken. God is in fact called Stephanie.
I hope Croatia stuff Argentina but got a sickening feeling it’ll go the other way.
I am backing Argentina. It think it would be really nice for Messi to win a world cup considering how much he has contributed to football.
