Preparations already underway due to some unexpected guests coming to watch the match tonight. It would appear the house has to be uber clean and tidy as a mates possibly bringing his "new" girlfriend. Probably not a good night to be introduced to us lot to be fair!

Nostel priory near Wakefield. Big screen outdoors following the 80s concert. I will probably not even remember the score in the morning 🙂
Home with MrsBouy.
We've enjoyed watching the two games we've caught so far with last nights Spain/Holland being both fun and bemusing at the same time.
Rock on Gurland 😆
On my sofa
Probably won't bother. Overpaid yobs rolling around whilst other braying yobs look on? Nah, all sounds a bit shite really...
mates putting on a world cup party
today ive got to sort some german food. and apparently just showing everyone my sausage might be a bit much

...to me. 😡
I'm not watching it. However, when the pubs turn people out and they're yelling and hollering because England did/didn't win, please consider those who couldn't care less about football and are actually trying to get a good nights sleep between two very busy days.
I'm watching it in my local. There's something appropriate, and strangely reassuring about the casual racism of the regulars, during an Engerland game.
Awwww Jamie, don't be like that... Anyway, shoont you be out giving that Trek a bit of stick? It's not even raining... ?
I'm not gonna watch it.. Instead I will be listening to it via the medium of sitting by an open window to hear the noise from the town pubs
Being of mixed Italian, Uruguayan and Costa Rican ancestry I'm probably not the best person to ask about watching and England game. 😀
The "pub" was just not an option as most folk will have been supping since 6/7pm ish no doubt and I've a feeling there might be an atmosphere if things don't go well for England come 00:45

Agreed. Sadly, I gave up on watching England in pubs several years ago. I think it was after playing Tunisia, a game we won, and for some reason it all kicked off in a couple of places.
I think if one has a nice local, out the way or has a strong contingent of non-****er locals, then it's a great idea. Otherwise, I'll stick to not having to queue for a pint, a piss and a packet of scratchings, and just watch it with family or with mates.
....plus the beer is cheaper 8)
Some of us have to work....

You playing tonight then, Lodders?
In my local,
Little country pub, which on a busy day has 12 people in it. 🙂

Missed that score.
Had a good snooze.
Never seen a game since, and have no intention of ever seeing one ever again.
On the sofa desperately trying to keep my eyes open having got back from a 3 hour ride at about 8-30pm!
Had a good snooze.
The game was on at 2:30pm.

Back in t day I remember queuing outside of derby walkabout for the Argentina match when it was over in japan. It was possibly one of the best days out I've ever had.
We may have been the idiots I'm trying to avoid now...
What wrightyson said about 11pm kick off in pubs on a Saturday night
in my case it was italia 90, vs Cameroon. England won that one, eventually, but the atmosphere in the pub that night was really unpleasant for a while
Had a good snooze.
The game was on at 2:30pm.
Siesta then.
Was a rearranged lunch "hour" in the work's clubhouse while on a C++ training course. Managed to keep my eyes fully open for the C++ course.
Will be taking the family round a mates house, other mates also heading over, BBQ, plenty of beers, kids all going mental, and 4 consecutive games of football spread over 11 hours from 5pm to 4 am. tomorrow is going to be a write off
Netflix

Happy Father's Day 😀
BBQ with friends first, all the ladies will probably de-camp to anothers house and 10.30 and leave all the blokes to watch the match.
My living room.
Which teams are playing?
This is the worst World Cup so far with no excitement whatsoever.
Not watching this shower of a tournament the whole games corrupt from the top of FIFA down, from what I've seen on the news it looks like the refs are rather biased especially the host nations game. Why they call it the beautiful game is beyond me!

Ya, why? Beautiful game my goat turds. It's definitely fun to play football if you have the skills or fitness but apart from that it just blokes chasing a ball.

Watching Holland take apart Spain last night was beautiful!
I'm nights. Not that I care about football but the chances of seeing are slim. I'm so looking forward to going into work knowing there's those who've been drinking all day now sitting in a pub until around 1am watching England play. Going to be one hell of a shift.

Am I right in thinking you're ambulance crew drac? Or is that someone else? If so good luck and stay safe!
God I loathe football and so glad that I'm not subjected to it. 😀
Note to self: Remember to go be [s]more of[/s] a tool in the next cycling/rugby/*insert other sport here* that gets posted. As apparently, if you don't like a sport, the best thing to do is open a thread specifically about said sport so you can let the world know you won't be watching.
Just causing a little mischief Jamie xx
Oh, so you're one of these hooligans are keep hearing about?
*calls police*
*calls mi5/6*
Can't be too careful!
I'm in Sicily and will be watching it on a big screen by the pool.
There is only one English couple here and lthe others are mostly German, French and Dutch.
I am being given an Italian flag by the barman as I'm Scottish. My missus is English and she is even less interested in the result than me !
Am I right in thinking you're ambulance crew drac? Or is that someone else? If so good luck and stay safe!
Yes I am. Ta. Hopefully everyone will just wander home safe and sound but I doubt it.
On the sofa draped in the Flag! Just concerned about staying awake as it's been a full day!
Why is it called the beautiful game? Well despite the cheating, diving, play acting, dodgy refs, bent FIFA reps, it's a game that genuinely has the most amazing moments of skill, emotion and pure theatre. No other game like it and that's why it's embraced by the world....rich or poor!
As group whipping boys Costa Rica are showing us now...
Still not sure if I'll make it to the pub, was out on the bike from 10am -6pm today.. Little bit sunburnt and tired...
my iphone started sending me England songs via "the cloud" this morning. I was trying to largely ignore this WC but now I'm sat on the sofa armed with beer and pringles.
Could have done without the 5am starts this week though. Uruaguay Vs Costa Rica is turning into a good game
..not if you've got Uruguay in the sweepstake 🙁
Kick off is 11pm eh? Can you imagine sitting up that late watching England and one of their frightened-to-lose-so-play-cagey-boring-football-and-frustrate-every-England-supporter-watching-for-the-whole-damn-90-minutes perfomances? I think I'll Sky+ and watch with my kid in the morning.
Kick off is 11pm eh?
Originally it was going to be 2am...
So where you watching "the match" tonight?
Only long enough to find the remote...
what, the cricket match is still on
Kick off is 11pm eh?
Yup. I believe they scheduled it at that time just to annoy you, Dez.
If it's any consolation, the next two are at more reasonable times:

The match was on at 1600. Not best pleased with the result really.
Oh, and now I have to endure a month of people asking me about the soccer, assuming that I give a shit. Can we please have a separate forum for all the inevitable soccer threads?

No.
*note to self: start loads of [i]soccer[/i] threads*
Watching at home in NI. Since we are unlikely to make another World Cup ever I wish England and the fans all the best.
Really excited at the selection hope they go for it.
WTF is Soccer? Purleeeeese!
I'm watching on holiday in South Wales and I'm really looking forward to it. The team looks good, really positive. I love top class sport in all its forms (cept golf obviously).
Come on England!!
Btw Mr TW has fallen asleep on the sofa. Leaving me to watch the game alone 😥
Off to bed. Nationals race tomorrow morning. Listened to Costa Rica. We're out already 😉
I think if one has a nice local, out the way or has a strong contingent of non-****er locals, then it's a great idea.
You could try my local, in Stirling, cambuskenneth to be exact, same 6 guys every night regardless, rangers fans mostly so some england sympathies.
I'd like to see a good game, and since there is a lower than ever in knob quotient in the squad, let's have an England win.
Jamie
*note to self: start loads of soccer threads*
The trick is to start loads of enticingly titled threads which then swerve into football - i.e. "What artisanal shoe horn...?"
"..did uncle Roy use to fit Rooney into that team? On the wing, he'll only have a strop and wander off"
Phil Neville ........OMG!
It's neither Owen or Townsend though, thank christ. Phil's so monotonous he's a background drone I hardly notice - that'll do for me
I suppose the "soccer" (ooh, my sides!) haters feel the need to come onto a soccer (stop, it hurts!) thread and declare their dislike for soc(I can't do it anymore!!) football is because it is such a massively popular sport. I don't normally watch it anyway, but the World Wendyball Championships are always good entertainment and part of life ain't they.
Why is Baines the coolest player on the park, exactly?
Neville is awful.
