I'm sure we can start fact finding but I don't think var has favoured Liverpool more than others

I've deleted the spare one.

I'll be quite interested in the Wales - USA game. I suspect there'll be goals. :thumbup:

Question.

In previous WCs, would you have ordinarily organised something differently so you could watch it ?

I don't have a television in the lounge and certainly not one in the toilet.

Anyway, today I will mostly be getting my kit off for the lasses.

There doesn’t seem to be usual build up/hysteria for this one. I’m going to try to watch it but not sure yet.

In the past the WC (or Euros) were in winter season here, so I'd go out to meet friends to watch some games

Trouble for me is that whilst I do LOVE football, I hate the theatrics on pitch. So I rarely follow a whole tournament. Now, with the job I have and the times of the matches, I doubt I'll get to see much live

Will probably make more effort to watch when the bars are open and some friends are in resort. Probably/possibly!!

It depends on workloads but most probably. I might get more into this as it gathers momentum, but at the moment i'm less than enthused.
