    Here we go with extra time. England have been living dangerously. My nerves are shattered. I hope it doesn't go to penalties

    I can’t believe my eyes they’re actually winning

    Oh wow I'm shattered now I cannot believe it. Semi finals here we come. Dare I say it just 2 matches away from bringing it home. It's long over due.

    That was a heart racing evening alright lol. England were lucky they lived dangerously on more than one occasion. They got away with it. Need to play better on Wednesday night or Mr Messie will eat them for supper. At least they kept Haaland in check. He was my main worry. I do think the VAR need to visit Specsavers it was obvious to anyone with half a brain that England should have had a penalty. It seems Norway have invented a new rule where you can shove someone over and get away with it. Argentina on Wednesday night. At least there's no danger of that going in to the early hours lol. Well unless it Lightens and delays the start.

    We did it!! I must admit when it went to extra time I was a bit annoyed because I was so tired but couldn't miss it 😂

    What are our predictions for the next match against Argentina?

    France v Spain on Tuesday night. I reckon Spain will win that. I'll stick my neck out and predict Spain v Argentina in the final with Spain the winners. England will get the chance to play France in the runners up game. I hope I'm wrong but I somehow don't think so.

    @Rachel_ScopeI'll say 3-1 Argentina. I think Messie is too good for England to overcome. Obviously I hope I'm wrong on all counts.

    I'm not usually one for conspiracies but I do think money talks and there has been a lot of very suspect decisions in favour of Argentina during their last two matches. For two professional teams to speak publicly already about how they felt their matches against them were fixed says England are going to struggle…

    Well…that was an intense watch Saturday, wasn't it! 😅 Really pleased they pulled it off though. Extremely nervous for the Argentina match but the boys continue to pull it out of the bag, even when it looks impossible!

    Just read about Thomas Tucel's interview after the game and he wasn't best pleased despite the lads winning. He said they were sloppy at times and I agree with him there. They need to sharpen up if they want to have a chance of beating Argentina. No room for sloppiness cos the Argies will punish them. Messi won't hang about.

    I did too. Their momentum seemed to slip a lot but I can't imagine what the humidity and heat was like for them. I found myself jumping about and shouting at the TV at times though when they slowed. 😅😂

    Was a bit worried though, that the comments and team players responses might cause some tension in team. I really hope not as their closeness, I think gives them such a passionate advantage @Johnboy412000

    I've just heard this comment about the upcoming semi finals, which I think sums up how I am feeling about the next 2 days:

    'My heart says England, my head says France, and FIFA says Argentina.
    Meanwhile, Spain says, "Hold my beer."'

    😁 ⚽️
