2018 at home0 -
1990 - Florida, out in the sticks, football of no fucking interest whatsoever to the local tv even though they were hosting the fickling tournament 4 years later, internet hadn’t been invented, except it had to a certain extent but only the British had it in the form of teletext/ceefax and the fucking yanks had no concept of what I was talking about when I asked them if they at least had that capability on their TVs so I could check the score
2018 - at home, in the media room, beers in the wine cooler, do not disturb0 -
1990- aged 5 months so probably asleep in a cot
2018- in my room with a beer enjoying football0 -

1990- Walked round to my mum and dad's house and watched with my dad. Sadly, my dad at the time was a very sick man and as I walked home I knew he wouldn't be around to see the next World Cup. And sadly he wasn't.
2018 - Will watch at home with my son. And hopefully, I'll be around a bit longer to see a few more tournaments with him.
The circle of life.9 -
1990 - 24 At my cricket club (Blackheath CC The Rectory Field) as I was for the 1/4 in '86. Never watched another England game there although I'm still a member.
2018 - 52 At home, loads of friends and my lads friends, barrel of ale, cold lagers, jugs of Pimms and G&T's. Plenty of Fred's (New Eltham Butchers) finest sausages, extensive football playlist and we will party in the garden until very late if we win and will then repeat on Sunday.1 -

1990 age 9 remember clearly watching it in mum and dad's front room and not understanding why waddle did what he did and everyone not having a lot of love for Stuart Pearce. I just thought the Germans were filthy dirty bastard cheats. Especially when they made Gazza cry
I remember someone saying we should have taken Shilton off for Beassant as he was good at penalties
2018 either in the pub or in my own front room. It feels almost out of body now, Croatia are probably the team I've been consistently impressed with this tournament yet I'm not fearful of them. We move a lot more and move the ball a lot quicker. Modric and Rakitic are awesome, elite midfielders but I see that they can be disrupted by our tempo. Need to give it absolutely everything like we have done all tournament, get to the final first then worry about who is available2 -
90 aged 15 with the old boy over the road
18 aged 44 on me birthdag with family and friends in social club in beckenham1 -
1990 at home with wife (just married).
2018 O'Neills in Bromley. 'Av it.1 -
1990 a month away from being born
2018 hopefully Moscow but doubtful more than likely the local where It began with friends, not all Charlton so good to watch a match together.0
