Just watching the opening of the world cup. This should be a good tournament.

It's highly likely there will be an England match on during cottage weekend, which should be fun.

Both QF games England can get into are at 08:15!

Well done if you can get up for those times!

I'd suggest the trick is to not go to bed and power through.

I would love to experience the cottaging but unfortunately I'm away with the family. Another year!

There was 15 minutes of quiet, the rest I was able to sort of half see as kids ruin everything.

The game was good. A lot to build on.

England are looking quite strong, although it as only the USA

Nice to beat the yanks at anything. There was some pre-game chatter that they were confident of an upset. Ha!

I think the red card upset them, and having a prop broken within 3 mins

The US national anthem is the goofiest thing in the world.

Yet somehow still better than ours

"Ireland's Call" is what you get if you put all the national songs into an AI and ask it to write one.

England Vs France called off due to incoming Typhoon. Game declared 0-0 draw. England top group and likely to play Australia in the quarter final.

Is there a TV at the cottage?

Kern · **Posted:** Thu Oct 10, 2019 9:24

Good point. We might have to listen to the radio commentary and move plastic figures across the table.

Kern · **Posted:** Thu Oct 10, 2019 9:24

Or get Myp to re-enact scenes outside.

If we can get Grim... to role play as the Kiwi flattening him then I definitely approve of this idea.

Wales v South Africa

Wasn't very impressed by the first 40 minutes, but the second half was absolutley gripping.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Sun Oct 27, 2019 17:21

One of the most boring matches I have watched

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Oct 31, 2019 8:10

I had a dream that England lost to Romania in the semi-finals, in extra time.

Probably safe to assume that wasn’t a prophecy.

Bloody handling errors are going to cost us the World cup
