Meenzer 15397 Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 As always with England, if they win I'll be happy because people I like will be happy, and if they lose I'll be happy because people I hate will be unhappy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21812 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I’m having a World Cup party with kids tonight. three sets of parents, three 7 year olds, a 5 year old and a 3 year old, all staying up well beyond bed time for a school night, particularly if it goes to pens. Pizzas and beers, locked and loaded. The wife is going to see Hamilton. She was chuffed when she first got the tickets because it’s been impossible to get them but now she’s thinking about sacking it off. I feel a bit for the cast. That’s going to be one distracted audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21812 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 they'll be favourites against whoever wins tonight. they've got defenders who can see out a lead without shitting their pants and attacking talent far greater than either of tonight's semi finalists. but then this has been the world cup of the under dog, so who knows?

I knew you meant that, hence the wink. Agree though, I think it's a bridge too far for whoever wins tonight. I do think France got the rub of the green a bit though, in that every 2nd ball in the box fell kindly for them. But you need that type of luck and they deserved it for the way they played.

Gemmill 44360 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Bet365 have got an offer on where, if you back a team to win the world cup, they give you your stake back if that team goes out on penalties (including the final). I can't recommend this enough as an insurance policy - back England to win the tournament, lay it off at the exchange, and you've at least got this if the inevitable happens.
