@cocopop3011 are you keeping track of the EPL? If yes, then who are you rooting for -Man City it Arsenal?

Nah I don’t really follow football tbh. But my kids would make me choose Man City for sure! 

[Blackjax]

And the journey begins....is it coming home?

I hope England win it this time. Only because of Harry Kane. He is such a nice guy.

England v Croatia has been the tournament's best game by far. Such positive approach from both sides ans such a different England side to Southgate's overly cautious one! 

I, too, am in awe for Harry Kane. What a perfect player he is - and has been for ages. I really wish for him to get the Ballon d'Or in recognition of his surreal capabilities.

Nice to see Bafana Bafana score a point, it looked real grim in the start but they forced their way back in against an uninspired Czech side and totally deserved their result. The African teams so far has been really impressive collectively.

US leading by 2 goals against New Zealand. They are definitely making it to Next stage. If US make it to the semi finals Trump will take all the credit.

It's nice to see some of the new rules being enforced with no mercy. Time wasting has always been a big issue and an integrated part of any team's game plan but there is little to no room for this with the new rules in effect so we see very little of it now. Also, some Paraguay player became the historical first player to be sent off for covering his mouth while talking to an opposing player. A lot of nasty words have been exchanged from behind the cover of a palm so this new rule will undoubtedly aid in eliminating one of the ugliest sides of a football match from the game. 

[Blackjax]

Well..well..well!!! 

I was wondering what @cocopop3011 was up to as she was missing from the forum.

Very rarely, last time I bet was when the USA presidental election was heating up. Theres some interesting betting options tho and its a great coffee table discussion with all the options

[marius1978]

Having watched England v DR Congo last night, I think even higher of Harry Kane now. What a complete footballer and leader he has become and, at "only" 32, he may yet have his peak couple of years to come!

He single-handedly saved England and that 2nd goal in particular was astonishing - the sheer determination, power, and class he willed that ball in with was definitely one of those WC History magic moments!

Hey guys - we'd love this conversation in our football thread! I wil start a thread now please join in there!

[cocopop3011]

Heyyy guys! Feels like I have been away forever, from being ill for two weeks and then having the issues with logging in and my laptop. Anyway I am back to health and leaning how to use the Mac now!

How are we all anyway, let's have a catch up.

Also just want to say how grateful I am to you all for the last 10 years, some of you have been here with me since the very start, and the rest of you have joined me along the way. We've had great fun right?

Really lovely to hear this. I have definitely  grown a little family here with you all, logging in every day to chat to you all has just become a way of life for me and way more than just a "job". Hopefully, moving forward we'll have more opportunities  together. \

This the real Cocopop3011? I don't know what happened but I like it!

It warms me that your able to open up. I've been worried that you've been bottling up these thoughts/emotions/miscellaneous things.

If I may ask since Potatohead has elaborated his situation what were you ill for that has kept you from being here for a long while?

Ahh nothing serious don't worry, I just had infection after infection. But nothing bad, it just wiped me out. But I am back to health, do not worry! I am here and wherever I am, you will all be.
