Well done Spain. You were brilliant.

A statement of intent from Spain. A great performance. I just really felt they would win before the game :)

Scooby222

Well, I didn't expect that! 😳

What a match that was. Spain are in the final. France might as well have been back home for what good they were. I think the writing is on the wall now. Spain will lift the cup.

Johnboy412000

@Bluebell21 you were wrong.

Bluebell21

I know 😒but Spain deserved to win. They were brilliant @Johnboy412000

What are people's predictions for tonight's England vs Argentina? Anyone who sides with Argentina will receive an immediate ban 😅😂

Abuse of power that @Holly_Scope! 😘

I think it'll be a close game, maybe we win on Penalties.

🤣

I agree. I think it'll be tough but we'll do it! 💪

Rachel_Scope

I really hope we win but I'm not sure if I'm that confident. I don't think I could take it if we went to penalties @SheffieldMan1976!

Scooby222

Nooooo - not penalties.....!!! 😱

Way back before the World Cup started, I predicted a Spain v England Final. Which I thought was laughably far-fetched even as I said it back then... but as I got the winner right yesterday, I will stick with England for the win tonight.

I must be bonkers! 🤪 🙃 🤸 Not so much Mystic Meg as Psychic Scooby! Or even Psycho Scooby!

Someone pass me my emotional support cushion for watching the game, it's not going to be an easy watch!

😰 😱

Rachel_Scope

I think I'll also have an emotional support cushion @Scooby222 😂 or should I say Psychic Scooby!

Bluebell21

I really hope England win. Argentina are already playing mind games. Messi has said he has got his favourite referee and Argentina has asked to play in their away **** being the dark blue.

This is what they wore when they won the game with the "Hand Of God" hand ball.

So come on England.

Oops filter did not like that word will have to be "kit" instead.

Johnboy412000

Well I hope we are gunna play better than we did with Norway. We made some silly mistakes and got away with it. But if we up our game we are more than Capable of pulling it off.

I'm trying to work out what the naughty word could possibly have been 😂

I agree about Argentina and the mind games! It's certainly being played unsportsmanly before it's even started!

I have to back England to win but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't go that way

😂 you are hilarious @Scooby222.

I think I'll be joining you with the emotional support cushion. It's definitely going to be a very emotional rollercoaster of a match.

I don't think I can handle penalties! As much fun as they are to watch when you're not invested in the match, I reaaaally don't want to torture myself with them tonight!!! I need to get me an emotional support cushion too!

Rachel_Scope

Emotional support cushions for everyone!! 😂

@Rachel_Scope What's going on I posted a reply and it's not shown up. I did it again and it still hasn't shown.

@Scooby222

Takes me Back to 2017 when we(The Terriers) played Sheffield Wednesday in the play off finals for a place in the Premier League and it went to Penalty shoot out. drew level at 13-13 and it was down to the Goalies to take a penalty each. We scored ours and their Goalie fired his penalty straight at our Goalie. I had to be peeled off the Celing lol. Literally dancing around the room and singing etc. @SheffieldMan1976 Not sure if you remember it lol.
