Soccer World Cup.

I  wonder  if Spain  will  be  able  to  get  on  the  same  aeroplane  as  Portugal ?? There  will  be  lots  of  tears  in  Iberia  tonight.

Love Croatia, been there with the caravan a couple of times. So pleased they overcame the boring and stubborn Danes 😀

I don't understand why Colombia still have 11 on the pitch. Dirty team. Certainly not cricket 😉. Everything I dislike about the game these days  even VAR doesn't assist they carry on regardless and it isn't acted upon. Not just this match.

Very proud of our team. I think Southgate seems to know his stuff 😉

Merciful  Heavens,  That  was  some  brutal  match .

At  least  the  England  team  kept  their  cool  more  or  less,  but  I  do  have  to  congratulate  the  Referee  for  not  losing  control.  It  would  have  been  so  easy  for  him  to  back  down  in  the  face  of  continual  whining  and  arm  waving  then  it  would  probably  have  been  even  more  cynical. 

Right  now  I'm  just  wondering  what  The  Great  Otter  is  thinking  ??

{  Oh  Please,  Bakers 2,  Don't  mention  CRICKET  Tonight   }

Finally!!

Delighted England won - but what about those Columbians?? About time FIFA took steps to condemn such tactics, in particular the surrounding of the referee. Disgraceful performance, glad they're out and that England put them out

Yes, was half hoping the whole Columbian team would be sent off, if "team" is the right word....

Onwards and upwards. 

The word “soccer,” which is believed to have originated in Britain some 200 years ago, comes from the official name of the sport, “association football.” As other versions of the game evolved to include Rugby Football, it is believed the Brits adopted colloquialisms to distinguish each game.13 Jun 2014

Thanks for the heads up Micky Boy, it prompted me to check it out & put some meat on the bones👍🏻😊

I was told this many years ago and apparently it was 'our' public school 'boys' that named it soccer. They also called rugby union rugger! Never called that by the rugby league folk mind!

They allegedly had a preference for often adding 'er' to fellow school chum's surnames too. We working class types tended to add 'o' or 'y' though.  Bit like a 'footy' game I guess which we called it!
