I'm going 2.
Just picked this up half an hour ago. Now all I need is England to lose and it'll be a week to remember!

Would much rather win. Experiences and memories are way more important than watches.

Anyway that's another topic. You have a great weekend too Ollie. I love the UK and all its quirks. Can't wait to get back there again some day. Been too long.
Be sure to look me up if you do, we can talk through some of these quirks in person over a beer or two

Absolutely! Been there once ~20 years ago on vacation and totally loved it. Only had time to do London but the people were great and we had a blast. Made a point to visit an English pub and the first thing I did was order a beer incorrectly. The bar tender had pity on me and helped me out. I learned that you don't add an "es" onto the end of Guinness in England when ordering more than one LOL. At least that's what he told me...

The real question is England to lose or get the call for a grail, which would you pick? Now that's a hard one.

The Welsh, Scottish, and Irish members of TRF will be in two minds about this one. Tough call.


That penalty was dubious at best (even the pundits said so), and downright cheating at worst.

I can't afford my grail at the moment so the real question posed above is quite an easy one for me

England dreaming…….we don’t want to wake up. It’s been so long, so much hope. Come on England!

The England win

Experiences are much more important than possessions for me in life
