All Activity

Just getting my suitcase packed just now. We leave for London tomorrow afternoon then onto Boston Wednesday morning. Feel remarkably calm about it at the moment given how long I've waited for this opportunity but I bet I don't sleep too well tonight or tomorrow.

I was 19 and a student, I really wanted to go but just couldn't afford it. Like so many other people of my generation I just thought "I'll just go to the next one" and given we had qualified for 4 of the 5 tournaments in the 90s I didn't think I would be waiting this long. Watched all games in the pub with pals. My lasting memory of the tournament was my frustration at Brown's obsession with playing Burley at rwb with Darren Jackson behind the strikers when Burley clearly should have been there and Macnamara at rwb. Also, why the fuck would you take Jackson and not Eoin Jess

Well there’s that but more ability wise. Mbappe up front with Doue, Dembele and Olise behind him.

Little Richard - Good Golly Miss Molly

What, as in they are like werewolves and mummies and stuff?

French front 4 is frightening.

Withdrawn from squad and replaced by Ederson.

Jurrien Timbers withdraws from Dutch squad due to injury.

France v Northern Ireland on BBC3 now. Some rendition of La Marseillaise by French fans.

I'm not liking this

Winner - Frogs Golden Boot - Somebody who scores a heap of goals against a diddy team Scotland - oot in the 1st round as usual

I was 25, living in Nashville and working in ‘soccer’ full time. Fun city and fun time in life. Saying that, was in the process of packing for Los Angeles and a big move that summer. dont remember a lot but I do remember being asked multiple times about burley and leighton missing team, and that being a norm in Scotland. Also remember being gutted to lose to Morocco, a very similar feeling to losing to Costa Rica in 1990. Hoping to avoid that feeling this time around.

Dodgy- Good Enough

I was 26.............which makes me feel really old now, as I thought I was 18 or 19!!!! I don't remember much. I do remember thinking we would finally get out of a group stage. Then being not in the least bit surprised when we didn't. Then enjoyong the rest of the tournament without the added worry of how we were getting on. And being able to enjoy all the games at a decent time. I also remember not remembering much as I was watching the bulk of it pissed at various friends flats. I gave more of a hoot about international football then.

Cher - Strong Enough

Labi Siffre - (Something Inside) So Strong

Steve Clarke called off a kickabout against Norway for fear of injuries, now the Norwegian boss says he's "unprofessional". He wouldn't have said that if Haaland picked up a knock in the game. They can just play with themselves instead.

Girls Aloud - Something Kinda Ooh

The new version of Cape Fear on Apple TV is off to a good start. Genuinely tense vibe.

I was living in Japan and will have watched the games on telly at stupid times of day probably. The missus is an England supporter so my main recollection is her lying on the floor banging her fists off the carpet when they lost on penalties. I did my best to appear sympathetic...

Goldfrapp- Ooh La La

Daphne and Celeste - Ooh Stick You

Sadly I am old enough to been in Italy in 90 as a teenager. Made 96 and 98 and assumed every 2nd year would be like this.

Stayed in a Formule 1 - cheap motel with very small rooms. I think there was 4 of us? In the room next door was some loons from Peterhead. There was maybe 10 of them? They had booked 2 rooms but one of their group had 'got lucky'. They had some kind of pact so the amorous couple got one room leaving the rest to share the other one

I hope I'm right too This is the real question, we don't even know what formation we predominately be be going with next season so it's hard to amswer.
