Who saw this one coming?! 😁 Still a way to go yet, but 2-1 Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Game ON!! 1-1. What a Game.

How many is he going to get today? Had the ball in the back of the net twice already in 20mins. One disallowed for fractional offside though.

I should imagine the whole of my Village heard me celebrate in May this year when my team stayed up on the last day of the season. 😂 It was a Hot day and I was out in my garden with a few cold ones and the match on the radio. One particular beer barely had a sip taken out of it before it was launched into the air in celebration of the most important goal of our season, and I took off doing a lap of honour round the garden as If I had scored myself 😂😂

Not In the last 20years or so 🤣😂 I am Far too much of a live in the moment kind of guy. I very rarely have my phone out to capture moments, plus the way us English celebrate you’d be lucky not to drop your phone and have a bunch of guys spill beer and jump all over it 😂😂 I may have some Oldschool photographs in the loft from house parties during France 98 World Cup or Euro 2000, but nothing really like that on my phone etc. Italia 90 World Cup is the first one I can really recall but was a kid with Gazza famously crying. USA 94 England failed to qualify for, but I still recall owning and loving the computer game at that time and Alexi Lalas becoming known to the world with his wild beard and hair. 🤘🏼😂 Euro 96 is a fondly remembered tournament by us English as we were the hosts, taking the tournament by storm only to then famously lose by penalties to Germany. Again, I was a touch too young to be seriously “revelling” at this stage but watched the games with great enthusiasm and the odd cheeky underaged beer. Roll on 2 years and my best mate and I were picked up by the Police after an England game in France 98 for being a bit over enthusiastic with our celebrations 😁 I left the Pub with a beer table Parasol (3 of us did) spinning it and singing after beating Columbia 2-0. They cautioned me with “Theft by Finding” because I said I found it and they couldn’t prove I’d actually just run away with it 😂 It was all innocent and high spirited stuff really and the Police were good about it all. After giving me a ticking off, they kicked me out at 3am slightly sobered by the experience and 5miles from home. My mate (who was a little worse for wear) spent the night and got a lift home, but had the Police car drop him off at my house so that his Mother didn’t see/find out 😂 Then in Euro 2000, my mates and I had a lot of house parties, and 3 of us worked at our local bowling alley at the time. England beat age old arch rivals Germany 1-0. Naturally wild celebrations ensued. I was wearing my England flag around my neck like a cape (most of us were) and someone said “Let’s go to the Bowl!” So now you have 6 or 7 drunks lads in full on England shirts, Flags and facepaint marching onto the alley. Only me being me, I had to take one step further. I borrowed my friends mothers washing line pole, fastened my flag to it and marched not only down the street waving it and receiving plenty of celebratory honks of car horns at the sight of us, but I even continued to wave it proudly up and down the bowling alley aisles! 🤣🤣😂😂 There is No way I would get away with that kind of behaviour today, but as I say we worked there and knew most of the people in there. Fortunately most people saw the funny side and only encouraged us. Those were the days…. 😂🍻 Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup saw England kicking off at bizarre times in the morning, and we would be in our local pub at 6am drinking beer, then all stuffing down a full English breakfast at half time before continuing to drink and party. That was a wild tournament in which we were even 1-0 up on Brazil! Needless to say that was our last game of that tournament after they turned us over 2-1. After that one they have been more subdued. Don’t get me wrong, there are many many fond memories across many tournaments where England are concerned, taking in the games with friends. I caught sun stroke from too much partying in the sunshine in 2014, but there are certainly less Pub visits these days and more home get togethers with BBQ etc. Shame this one is in Winter, as we are more unlikely to all get together for these matches. But in answer to your initial question, there is very little evidence. Which is probably a good thing 😂🍻

Good Luck to all of our Team USA Psychos! I’ve said it here previously, but Tyler Adams (c) and Brendan Aaronson both play for my club, so I am watching on with great interest. That are both pretty special players with big futures. Josh Sergeant also plays for the club/city in which I live and all my friends support.

@GuyIncognit0 @Veum You guys are worried about a game ending in a “draw” (Draw/Tie, Football/Soccer 😂👍🏼) when it’s only been going for 35mins???!! 😳😂😂😂 Obviously No guarantees in Football, but I’ll be Amazed if this plays out another hour without realising a winner or goals. 😁

Can I Reeeaally be trusted for advice in a game I am participating in?

Mate, that is nice! Got me thinking ahead of a new home office. 👍🏼

@Masterblaster Just noticed the nations flags have all disappeared for me? 🇺🇸🇬🇧Etc.

Nope, all seems to be working fine for me thanks John @Masterblaster Although if I couldn’t log on, then I couldn’t post this to tell you! 😂

😂😂😉😘

Only 5 years out… Spooky!

OR…. We could just watch The Running Man 😆

UK Crew, The Running Man is about to start in 10mins on 5Action (Channel 150). Perfect little watch when you’re at a loose end on a Monday night. 👍🏼

Challenge 10: "Choose your Weapon" Repulsors Quad Blasters GodSlayer Sword Knives Laser Cannon Mjölnir Shield Bow & Arrows Gauntlet Fav weapon for a Hero is a tough one. I want to say Mack’s Shotgun Axe from AoS. But technically that’s not a movie, so I’ll plump for the Amazing thigh compartment Auto-9 Fav weapon for a Villain (now that it has recently made its way into cinema) has to go to All-Black the NecroSword. Or Nicolson’s Jokers rather long pistol when taking out the Batwing.

Ohhhhhh So NOW the rules apply do they?!! How very Typical 😆

Have a good one Boys and Girls. Especially You @Squeegie McGee

Challenge 9 - Don’t Stop the Music Well @Gentleman I did indeed drag my butt up to the loft, and much to my frustration & concern I could not find the items that I was looking for. I confess that I did not plough through the Entire loft, but we are so close to Xmas that I could not bring myself to turn the loft into disrepute and chaos, only to then forget about it until I pop back up for the Xmas decorations and realise the mess from my haste to satisfy your curiosity 😂 Alas, I was hoping to bring you Top Gun, 89 Batman & 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtracks on Cassette! ☹️ They are up there somewhere, just typically weren’t where I expected them to be. Even more upsetting to myself, I also couldn’t find Juice, Judgement Night or Spawn on VHS 😤 Or my Friday collection on DVD SO…. Despite having a healthy collection of Soundtracks on CD… I actually REALLY struggled to match them up with the Movies from my current (close to hand) collection. I did have these (purposely went with DVDs over BluRays for nostalgia)… And that left me short by one… And so…. Without further ado… I give you… Amazing what you find in your loft when you really try isn’t it. 😂 As for my First and Favourite. My First soundtrack was one of those aforementioned cassettes, not sure which TBH. Special nod goes to this gem 😁 My Favourite by a Million Miles though is the Epic Judgement Night soundtrack. Each song a collaboration of Metal and Hip Hop acts, specifically coming together for the movie. Sooooooooo good and still a regular play for me today. 🤘🏼😜 Thank you, for such an Enjoyable, Frustrating and Embarrasing Challenge 😁👍🏼

😄 Cheers mate. There’s a whole thread over here if you’re interested 😉😁

Mate. Our squad was announced yesterday and Upon reading that little car crash I went from looking at the odds to Winning the Cup, to looking at the odds of failing to get out of the group stage!! Still haven’t actually found what the odds are for that yet, but I’m severely tempted to back it. Southgate has lost the plot. Can only hope he proves us all wrong now. For all my American buds, my team has both Tyler Adams and Brendan Aronson who have of course both been selected by USA, so I will be watching (especially against England) with great interest.
