[skategal]

Me three.

I just finished giving a presentation on Teams for work (as fast as possible ) and turned the TV on.

 

[Buzz]

We are soooo gonna regret that missed penalty.

 

[oleada]

Me four! The last match of the day is at the perfect time for me. Canada is playing quite well!

 

[Buzz]

Oh sh**

 

[Buzz]

Just want to see them score!

 

[skategal]

Too bad my husband doesn’t have to use the bathroom.

Canada usually scores when that happens.

I should have bought him an extra large coffee instead of a medium.

 

[Lara]

Just want to see them score!

Same, arrgh (even if it’d been on-demand for me since I had lab work). Two more chances though.

 

[SHARPIE]

Canada wuz robbed.

Great day for Japan! I do like the upsets World Cup’s bring in various sports.

 

[Buzz]

Oh well! Our boys did us proud! But we do Croatia next so it is not getting any easier!

 

[Buzz]

Switzerland is in the lead 1-0. I’m rooting for Cameron!

A bit awkward… I remember Germany being in the same situation a while ago in a game against Poland.

Breel Embolo, a Cameroon native, scored the only goal of a cagey game to earn Switzerland a winning start to their Group G campaign.

Budweiser preparing to sue FIFA and will donate beer to winning team.

Budweiser is preparing for a lawsuit against FIFA, but it has already figured out what to do with the large amount of beer left over

The company that makes Budweiser has decided that its World Cup-winning team will receive the huge amount of beer it used to prepare for the World Cup in Qatar, but cannot sell due to a last-minute beer ban. The organizers of the World Cup together with the international federation (FIFA)...

Canadians being proud of a loss is so very Canadian. Yay us! We lost, but not by very much!

Canadians being proud of a loss is so very Canadian. Yay us! We lost, but not by very much!

I mean, I was afraid we'd suffer the same fate as Costa Rica, so I'm not too upset about losing by just 1 goal

 

[Buzz]

Iran scores in the last minute of stoppage time!

 

[Buzz]

2-0 Iran!!!


Absolute heartbreak for Wales.

 

[SHARPIE]

Oh dear. That was painful, especially with a red card as well!

 

[Buzz]

USA v England next. I am rooting for my cousins south of the boarder but I am not holding my breath for a 1950 style miracle.

USA v England next. I am rooting for my cousins south of the boarder but I am not holding my breath for a 1950 style miracle.

That's a tough choice between the super power to the south, and the mother country as to whom I want to lose more. So sorry for Wales that they lost today.
