who's staying up for this?

welcome to my world

go to bed before hand and set the alarm*, or stay up

drink or not

10am here, which is nice

*I drank then slept through alarm and missed the first half of the Congo game

I’m tempted to go to bed early and get up about 12.30 but do I then go to the pub or watch it at home.

I’m retired so can lie in on Monday

Being moved to 7pm kick off on Sunday

Siiiuuuuuuuperb news

7pm UK kick off now likely! Thank you the weather.

Im eating it with a teaspoon so it lasts longer.

Play at altitude at midday?

The issue with the altitude is the time it takes the body to adapt, most of the Mexico team have been based their for 3 weeks or so

Shitter that for home based England fans. Got a bit giddy then.
