    What are people's predictions for tonight's England vs Argentina? Anyone who sides with Argentina will receive an immediate ban ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

    I agree. I think it'll be tough but we'll do it! ๐Ÿ’ช

    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!

    Nooooo - not penalties.....!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

    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! ๐Ÿคช ๐Ÿ™ƒ ๐Ÿคธ 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!

    I think I'll also have an emotional support cushion @Scooby222 ๐Ÿ˜‚ or should I say Psychic Scooby!

    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.

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

    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

    ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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 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.

    Sorry about that @Johnboy412000. For some reason your comments went into our comment queue. It can sometimes happen and it's nothing you've done wrong. I've released one now ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Ok thanks. Why does that happen.

    Rachel_Scope Posts: 4,887 Online Community Team

    Sometimes it'll catch comments when they're quite long but in your case I'm not sure @Johnboy412000. It's just a quirk of technology I think!

    I missed that one Johnboy, but this was a cracker from last year:

    Grimsby Town 2-2 Manchester United (Town won 12-11 on penalties) โ€“ Carabao Cup Second Round

    On a famous August evening at Blundell Park, the Mariners produced one of the greatest results in the clubโ€™s 148-year history by knocking Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup.
