Wow. Stuck in Fiji. Bars here shut st 10pm and the matvh kicked off at 2am but WE ONLY WENT AND WON!!!!! Got that feeling I had back in 1990, and dish I was back home today.
I'm in LA on wednesday - anyone know what time locally the game starts?
If you're anywhere near Santa Monica, I've always enjoyed watching England games there (a lot of ex-pats in that area): http://www.yeoldekingshead.com
I remember watching a Cup Final at about 7am in that pub, lots of not very good beer, a full fry-up, and Di Matteo spanking one past Ben Roberts after about 2 seconds.
Another strong performance but let’s be honest, we have had luck on our side with the quality of the opponents. Usually you aren’t playing a side ranked 23rd in the FIFA rankings in a quarterfinal match

I take your point but Sweden qualified for this tournament by beating Italy and Nederlands and won their Group including Germany and Mexico.
I’m checking flights and hotels for next weekend but don’t want to tempt fate. If I wait until after the game on Wednesday it will probably be too late.

We deserved an easy draw afree the hard work of pretending we wanted to beat Belgium.

What to do?
Hedge your bets, book a flight into St Petersburg early Saturday, a room in St Petersburg Saturday night, a room in Moscow Sunday night and flight out of Moscow early Monday. That way you can go to the 3rd/4th place play-off if that's where we end up, then head over to Moscow to soak up the final's atmosphere before heading home on Monday. Or if we make the final, you can go sightseeing in St Petersburg on Saturday, and book an early flight or get the high speed train on Sunday, and dump your stuff in your Moscow hotel before heading to the game.

Jesus. out all day.what a result. Conversations with many about who we fancy in the semi final and final. Yes. the SEMI FINAL and FINAL of a WORLD CUP.!! Have to keep checking myself that it's not the Euros. No. THE WORLD CUP!!!! We never looked like we got out of third gear and pretty much dominated the Swedes. Think we'll have too much for Croatia. And then who knows?
As my mate said. You'll forever remember this summer as the summer that never ever ever rained and England WON THE WORLD CUP!!!!
How very un-english...... And quite frankly who cares.!

I’ve just done the maths and realised I’m old.
Chelsea v Boro in '94
Close. 1997.
‘94 was the United team that had put us out earlier on (Schmeichel flattening Kim Grant) beating Chelsea in the final.

11am Wednesday, LA time.
Nice one. I'll pack the wife and kids off to Anaheim and find a nice bar in Santa Monica. Italia '90 shirt all ready.
Any bar suggestions welcome.
King's Head is good. I mean it's a English pub in America so you know what you're going to get, but it's a couple blocks from the beach and there are a lot of ex pats in the area so you'll be in good company.
I grew up/went to high school around there so if that's not your thing I can try to think of other places.

So many disappointments in the past but....
Is it coming home?
Go and play with freedom and let’s see where it takes us.
We should fear no team now.
Come on England......I need my 1966!
They fully deserved their quarter final place.
