Best final ever! so much excitement!

THE WINNERS

 

…and me! Denmark won me £4 in the work sweepstake for scoring the fastest goal!

World Cup 2018 Part 5: 3rd Place

Hazard scores Belgium’s 2nd goal in the 82nd min.

World Cup 2018 Part 4: Semi Finals

France 1 – 0 Belgium

Umtiti’s header in the 51st minute.

“was is an own goal?” no, it just touched onto Fellaini’s lovely hair.

England 1 – 2 Coatia

Everyone loves Gareth Southgate and matchday was named ‘Waistcoat Wednesday’ (by no one except the newspapers).

It all started so well! Trippier scored from a free kick in the first 4 minutes! Everyone in the pub sang ‘football’s coming home!’ and spilt beer.

Croatia equalised, and then scored again in extra time and England’s dream of winning the World Cup were dashed.

Of course, everyone in the pub was disappointed, but the DJ put on ‘You Got The Love’ and we all danced and celebrated and cheered the England Team.

World Cup 2018 Part 3: Quarter Finals

Cavani scores 2 goals.

 

Spain 1 +3 – 1 Russia +4

Penalties

 

Croatia 1- 1 Denmark

It was exciting for the first 4 minutes, when both teams scored, but then it got a bit dull. It went to extra time and then penalties.

Most interesting moment was realising that everyone on the pitch except the goalies are in red/white/black.

hmmm… bored….. LOOK! I’M ON TV!

darn…. lost on the sweepstake…

Brazil 2 – 0 Mexico

This World Cup has been quite bland for outrageous hair-dos. The Mexican team had fun with a bottle of bleach, strangely on the day that my colleague Adam came in to work with freshly bleached hair. This led to us speculating that he was moonlighting as a Mexican footballer. Sad to see Mexico knocked out.

Belgium 3 – 2 Japan

Chadli scores Belgium’s 3rd goal 20 seconds before the final whistle and saves us all from extra time.

Japan help tidy up the stadium after the game, even though their team is knocked out.

 

Colombia 1- 1 England 3

England win the penalties. For. The. First. Time. Ever.

The opening game! Russia score their 5th goal from a free kick in the 92nd minute.

Russia 3 – 1 Egypt

Dzyuba scores Russia’s 3rd goal.

 

Uruguay 3 – 0 Russia

36 mins in Russia are two goals down and Igor Smolnikov gets a red card.

A penalty in the 94th minute hits the crossbar and then into the Swiss goalie, giving Costa Rica and equalising goal.

 

GROUP F

Germany 0 – 1 Mexico

The longest 3 minutes ever!

 

South Korea 1 – 2 Mexico

 

Germany 2 – 1 Sweden

The Swedish goal worked so hard, but a last second a snazzy goal from Germany lost them the game.

 

South Korea 2 – 0 Germany 

The last 10 minutes of this game!
“The biggest VAR goal EVER!”

In the last minute Neuer went wandering and left the goal open for South Korea to score again. And shockingly, Germany were out.
