Watched the German game, best so far for me, especially all the table swapping. Tis a shame. 👋

I was hoping they could have....and I've got Spain in the sweep. :lol:
I think if Spain/Japan ended up a Draw the Germans would till have needed another few goals.

In previous world cups I've been glued to the screen.
This time, apart from England, I've watched 1 Brazil game and 1 Spain game.

No idea why I've become disinterested.
But glued to the BBC Sports so I can see the scores

I thought there was a permutation of results that sent Germany and Spain home? (Which would have been quite amusing :D ).

Leaning more towards that ball being in now, Just. Now if the fine Celtic man only had longer legs the ball would probably have been in the net a few seconds earlier.

I'd have thought that all the Aussie players would have been full time professionals. Surprised to see one is a part time tradesman :)

Hoy. We have half of Japan now as well :D Playing some good football now. Just a shame Rangers have folded so looking like a boring one horse race for the league again. Still at bit off for a good European run but things are looking good again.
