At the 1998 WC I watched England 2 - 0 Colombia with a couple of hundred others in the bar at The Metropole Hotel, on a sunny Friday evening. A rarity - a good England performance and win in a WC finals.



Dodgy keeper helped.


Remember being an on BA flight from Sydney to London and the pilot calling out the score. Most of the plane roared

I was in hospital for most of Euro 2012. It was great, I watched every game while being waited on by pretty nurses.
And unlimited tea!
Plus, in a couple of days I get transferred to Kings where I'll have an isolation room with a big T.V.
Glass half full :)

I will try to get in as many as possible. Would like to think its karma if Russia lost to Saudia Arabia, and then failed to get out of the group.:laugh:

Will watch as much as possible, but there seem to be a lot of afternoon matches so will have to record them. I wonder if you record one if you can Series Link all the rest on that channel.

Also I think it is 24h de Le Mans this weekend, which is probably on ESPN or something so will have to watch that.

I will certainly watch the BIG ones and some of the odd little teams, especially if they have opposing religions and recent wars etc for a bit of spice. What channels are they being shown on, are they over all channels and who has the daily round up. Must get to some organising.........

I see the giant screen is back on Brighton beach, albeit a different company doing it this time. LOADS of World Cup games being shown, £5 for a day pass or £3 for a half day / evening jobbie.

I might mince along there for a couple of games of a weekend if the weathers decent (NOT for an England game, mind). The one drawback being its probably north of five quid for a plastic pint of warm flat pissy lager.

Would the England games be too packed there, or would it be the presence of idiots?
