World Cup Fever

Well the football continues to dominate my telly and I'm sure a lot of tv's all over the world really. The pubs are heaving especially on an England game here and to be honest I'm really enjoying it.

There are some very exciting matches and the VAR is proving to be very controversial. VAR is Video Assistant Referee so by using video footage the correct decisions can be made. Well you'd think so but I'm sure more mistakes are being made from what I've seen so far. Oh well it's adding a bit of excitement and it has got us all talking about it. 

We are now in the final sixteen knockout games and already some of the big teams are going out such as Germany, Portugal and Argentina. Does this mean England have a chance? Oh goodness knows eh? We always have this hope but then it usually gets dashed.... well.......about now really. We play again on Tuesday evening at 7pm against Columbia so fingers crossed everyone. 

They play on the ITV jinx.....it's ok we seem to always lose on ITV but do well on BBC. That's just a myth surely......a silly superstition. As long as the players don't spend to much time lying down on the ground we should get a good game played. I'm not on about our lads so much but my goodness there are some that milk it for a few minutes of extra time. Some of them should have babies, that stings a little from experience I can tell you. I saw something the other day on Facebook which was quite funny. It referred to players having so many tattoos but then they don't seem to have the same pain threshold when playing a game of football. 

I'm tending to watch the same programmes at the moment so I will get back to our great dramas later but I need to go back to my footy. I think I will miss it when it goes. I've never enjoyed shouting at the tv so much in ages and half the time I don't quite know what I'm shouting about. I just hope that if anyone hears me I'm talking great football sense, just like the commentators. I don't know whether I agree with Gary Lineker or would just like to pinch a packet of Walkers Crisps from him..........do you think he has a pack of cheese and onion at half time? Bet he does or we may catch him with a pack of Golden Wonder now that would be massive controversy. 

​Ok lets see what happens this week but all the best to England and if there is no Pass the Remote next week it's because I'm sulking.....no not really I'll be here. Join me tomorrow for Music Monday if ya fancy but for now take care of yourselves.
