@hajduk I think the song was going to be called Tikka Masala being an English curry but Fat Les needed something snappier and that could rhyme, so they ended up with Vindaloo! Not sure why they decided to sing a song about curry for the World Cup, but a fantastic song nonetheless!

@AdamC Oh! Okay. I'm in now

[AdamC]

@hajduk It sounds better maximum volume if youre going to play it - might have been on in the office once or twice in the last few weeks :

Heard Harry Kane is a golfer. Go Norway!

[Kasi]

Yeah.

Shit Game, put together about 5 minutes of barely watchable football over the course of the entire match. Wouldn’t have been surprised to lose after 90 minutes

Congrats to England…Proud of how Norway battled

[CosmoSix5]

Norways opener is my favorite goal so far. Ref seemed to lose control a bit in the end. Congratulations to the English! Bellingham is having a great tournament.

How drunk are you English right now?

[Tago Mago]

@mclaincausey not at all. May have made the game bearable

About 5 beers in now and it’s not even mid day here, it’s 12 o’clock somewhere

[mclaincausey]

Embolo…. Dude…… what a moronic play. Couldn’t have timed that more poorly. Right when you have them on the ropes, with a yellow, taking a dive at midfield?

Catastrophic stupidity.
