    Well if I didn't watch it I'd be up all night wondering what the score was lol so might as well sit and watch it. I just have to be mindful that I have Neighbours either side of me as well as up above and if I cheer too loudly should England score I might get some complaints. The joys of living in a Retirement complex and grandma next door (That's just a figure of Speech lol) goes to bed at half past ten lol. I'm 65 going on 66 but I don't go to bed at half past 10 lol.

    I realised very quickly just how easy it is to get carried away watching England play so I feel your pain. ๐Ÿ˜… Oh nooooโ€ฆ you might be very unpopular the next day. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Do you get on with your neighbours? I feel like you probably do. I'm sure they'd forgive you.

    Yeah I get on with them ok. Some did complain once and the ILO mentioned it to me apperntly my TV was too loud in an evening so now I have headphones connected to it. I would have appreciated the offended neighbour coming and knocking on my door instead of going to the ILO but not to worry. I quite enjoy watching TV with headphones on it drowns any other noises out lol.

    Yeah, I get that. It's the polite thing to do, to talk to you first. I'm sure you'd have been incredibly understanding and lowered the sound.

    As long as you don't mind having your headphones in. Bet it's like surround sound ๐Ÿ˜…

    Late news

    England's World Cup last-16 tie with Mexico is set to be moved to 19:00 BST on Sunday.

    Fifa is understood to be bringing forward the game at Azteca, Mexico City, which had been scheduled to kick off at 01:00 BST on Monday (18:00 local time on Sunday).

    Forecasts suggest there could be thunderstorms and heavy rain around that time, though Fifa has not yet provided any explanation for the change.

    Under tournament safety rules, any lightning strikes detected within eight miles of the stadium result in an automatic 30-minute delay to play.

    It's not confirmed yet though. It's a case and wait and see till it's set in concrete.
