veejay Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Alright, England. I send you my last but worst warriors of the whole galaxy. Now I've really become a partisan, huh!? 😫 Edited July 11, 2018 by veejay 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivesAWhit Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Okay, extra time part two. The lads are looking tired, but they need to defend against a really aggressive Croatia. Wish we had some fresh legs out there, but come on England, you've got to show Croatia a NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh Geebus, Trippier injured.😖 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivesAWhit Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Congratulations Croatia. Your tiny country will be wild with joy. I will root for you over France. Now I will cheer England's fantastic effort - the boys left it all on the pitch, and they'll be back! I'll retire now to be consoled by my Lady Wife. >>sniff<< Edited July 11, 2018 by GivesAWhit 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivesAWhit Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 England is a strong, young team with tremendous spirit and top shelf leadership. I'm proud too of our accomplishment and I'm sure we'll make an equally good, or even better showing in '22. My little chap will be old enough to fully appreciate and understand it all by then, so maybe it will be his generation's golden experience. Look, we're already planning our outfits! And Mummy Lion has promised to wear her tiara when football finally comes home! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

veejay Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I was persuasively told by my friends that besides football there is also an interesting life. I was quite impressed and wasn't allowed to have a philosophical discussion. Ok, that was yesterday. After watching a summary of the match for 3rd place, I can comprehend the result. Congratulations to Belgium and thanks to an English team, which gives much hope for the future with these great young players. Now I'm looking at the final and I'm very curious about the outcome, even though France has just taken the lead so early. Croatia is too tough to be too impressed by this, I hope so....BAM, during I wrote that, they drop the 1-1. VJ, don't write, just watch! 🙄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
veejay Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Vive la France! What a game! Wonderful, exciting, fair and also the finally deserved 2nd title for France!

GivesAWhit Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 A bit of a difficult time for me, as I was at a Bastille Day party when England lost the bronze, and everyone was pumped about the upcoming France - Croatia match. >>sheds a quiet tear<< Then I jinxed Croatia by rooting for them, but seriously, how fantastic were those last two games!? And we're talking about young teams; we'll be seeing these players again at various championships and in 2022 in Qatar. It's a great time for football! All on it's own, it was the most exciting, unexpected, engrossing World Cup ever. Besides being the most watched event on the entire planet, here in our little forum corner, I enjoyed the tournament all the more because of your posts. Thanks for being such good, fun company! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
