Not sold yet either. I do like the plane flying with the banner, though. Reminds me of my childhood seeing planes flying with banners on the beach.

Thank you for sharing, she makes such lovely cards. I'm trying to get away from FB, so I'm going to follow her on IG. She has a lot of followers on IG!!

I felt that Germany dominated the game for long stretches, and were unlucky not to score a couple of times. Given they played the last 10 minutes a man down, I don't think they got unfairly lucky. I'm sorry, I didn't completely clarify. I meant that there was a huge foul that Germany didn't get called on in the first half (I missed the first half due to work, but looked up the foul later), so they got lucky. But I certainly don't want to take away from their amazing finish, playing with 10 men and scoring a goal despite the handicap- was just amazing!

Belgium was on fire today and Germany got (unfairly?) lucky. I have to say though that that last goal by Kroos was a stunner.

Interesting result in Argentina vs Croatia. Not looking good for Argentina to get through to the knock-out games. Woah. wellway Thank you so much for keeping up this thread. OMG, the BBC reports are hilarious- I almost peed in my pants over this:

I finally watched a game, Spain vs Iran. Spain won, but needs to step it up big time. Their goal was pretty much an error, it ricocheted off an Iranian defender. Gosh, I wish I didn't have sooo much work to do, I would be watching so many more games...

We have been to a couple of Bayern games. Fun!!!! I can only imagine the craziness of being there!!! I've also been to a Germany v Italy International friendly, which I really enjoyed. Munich will host a few games of the 2020 Euros, and Germany is bidding for the 2024 Euros, so I imagine we will also get a few games here for that if we win the bid. Nice! What is everyone watching today?

I don't think most people in Germany understand why he was left out. I was expecting him to be in and Julian Brandt left out. Some have said it is because his style of play is not suited to the German team style, but I felt last night that Germany could have used some of his speed on the wing. There was also some talk that he annoyed the coach last year, by opting out of the National team for the Confederations Cup. I am also a major Manu fan - he plays for my local team, and is not only a very talented footballer, he is genuinely a nice person who has set up his own charity for underprivileged kids in the town where he was born. Thank you sueg answering the question. Sorry, I try to keep up with what is going on in Germany, but I'm in the US, so I actually didn't know the answer.. sueg have you gone to any Bayern Muenchen games?? It is on my bucket list to go to a World Cup game. Maybe since North America won the bid for 2024, hopefully this will happen!

Wow!! So cool! So fun to read who everyone is rooting for. My mother is from Germany and my father is from Spain (my dad was almost a pro-soccer player in Spain- you have to get sponsorship in Spain to get to the pros and he had to get a full time job instead at age 15 to support his mom- his dad died when he was 4). To say we are a soccer-loving family is an understatement. I root for both Germany & Spain, but I mostly grew up watching German soccer. I'm also married to a German. I was yelling at the TV yesterday, but Mexico totally earned that win- they played more beautifully and Germany did not have their crap together I love Manuel Neuer (the German goalkeeper- he is so talented). There has already been so much drama and upsets. This is certainly an interesting World Cup

I’m bloody sick of SC telling us about how the industry is changing. This. Because SC still thinks we cannot think for ourselves.

Yay! I forgot the World Cup is THIS year. Yippee! Thanks sleepingbooty for letting us soccer fans know that Ali is an official licensed seller/etc. PS: northrigg Christine is a great stamp designer (although her previous Stamp sub set for SC didn't wow me). I bought my first Everyday Explorers set this spring and it's awesome. I wish the original price/set and international shipping weren't so high. I'd buy more otherwise. I love CH stamps, but they are overpriced. As per SC, can't say I'm surprised that they are dropping this info 24 hours before a release.

ETA: here are the IG Stories sneaks. I like icons that include touristic sites such as castles and public transportation but I am so not into the paper patterns. I need to actually see the full reveal to make up my mind. On the fence right now. Down with the muted cool colours though but I can get those anywhere. Thank you sleepingbooty for posting those images!! I agree with you all, I'm not wowed either
