Then get a head start on rooting for France, please.

you couldn't even bribe me to do that

(actually in the previous final the Argentine keeper was so obnoxious that I did feel a tiny bit of sympathy for France when they lost, but that was a one-off)

England beat Norway and Argentina and Switzerland are up next.

Sad news: Jayden Adams, one of the South African players at the World Cup took his own life sadly 😔❤️🌹

Spain are now in the World Cup final on 19th July after beating France.

Not sure who will win between Argentina and England tomorrow.

Adopting Spain as my team to root for proved a wise choice.

Argentina 8 - 0 England.

that's my prediction based on factors such as which team has the most aerodynamic hairstyles, and which team eats 3 shredded wheat for breakfast.

well that was a fairly satisfying way for us to go out. however neither side played like a world class team there.

I really think Argentina have had it a little too easy in this tournament. One of the Argentinian players clearly punched an England player in the head. No foul, no red card 😳

yeah I agree there do seem to have been some questionable refereeing decisions in this world cup, weighted toward certain teams. argentina being one

Spain must leave no doubt. Crush them.

There were a lot of people in work yesterday singing the Footballs Coming Home song. I resisted the temptation this morning to change the lyrics to England's Coming Home. Based on their previous matches I did expect them to go out the first time they faced a big footballing nation and thought they'd been a bit lucky to get as far as they did, but fair play to them for getting there.

Looking forward to it all being over and there being something else in the news.
