Iโve enjoyed the World Cup so far, but waking this morning & thinking about tonightโs game is starting to give me some anxiety. Is it because we now have a vested interest or is it cause our own team have knocked the hope out of us this season. Iโve got the anaesthetics in ๐บ to ease the pain, but theyโll need to put a shift in to impress like other countries have done so far.
Anyway, enough of my glass half empty attitude(bring more ๐บ)
Come on England, do it for yourselvesXx

Is everybody seeing that flag as just a black flag? Might aswell be a white flag, but yeah maybe this board is PC what with it being a disgrace to fly an England flag. |

Apparently we only have 2,000 fans there one of the worst supported national teams in Russia.Quite shocked at that, I know there has been a lot of scaremongering but 2,000 .Wow

Been a brilliant start to the World Cup - you just know tonight has the first drab 0-0 of he tournament written all over it!
In all seriousness, Iโm feeling oddly positive about tonight. Important that we make a good start!

I think we'd all take a 1-0 victory wouldn't we after witnessing Germany struggle and Argentina and Brazil do likewise, although we are facing a team lower ranked than the opponents the others faced? However, getting off to a win is crucial, no matter how we do it in the first game.

2-0, Kane and Sterling, one each half. Low drives into the right hand corner of the goal.

I feel like I've gone full circle with England. When I was about 18 and drinking with the lads watching an England game was pretty much as big as it got. We all got together down Evergreens sinking a jug of beer singing three lions and vindaloo cheering, laughing and crying dependant on the result and our fortunes.
Then we had years of what can only be called depression over England. I just wasn't bothered and even found myself not letting a goal interrupt my conversation on the odd occasion I could be arsed to get to the pub for it.
Now I've no got the 1982 replica kit hanging in the office and I literally can't wait for 5pm so me and the boys can get together again tonight. We're all older, fatter and have kids of our own but we're really feeling the buzz in the fact that this group of players have largely not had a connection with the disappointing teams who just never turned up in the past and can't wait to get around a table later for it.
It's also refreshing to see that expectations are fairly realistic now too so we can just enjoy the games.
Come on lads! Come on Southgate! Come on England!

And youโd assume with the focus on England supporters after the Euros, not many wil be on a jolly trip to Russia through fear of a repeat or worse. |

This. The creation of the term 'fake news' is all about the same propaganda that it apparently opposing; as people by and large believe everything our news, which isn't independent as it should be reports. Orwell's vision is sadly coming coming true, albeit about 35 years later... But anyway. Goarn England! Can't bloody wait!!!! |

This low profile approach is not a bad thing for us though. I like it and it suits the current squad. |

There will be a lot more than 2,000 there, that'll just be an "official" number.
