So who's with me for tonight?

@LiseL? @cmskiera? @Boyceaz?

What's your set-up for game time?

Drinks? Snacks? Company? Vuvuzelas?

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

😅 Sorry for the lack of updates. The ladies and I have been screaming at the Argentinian melodrama on the green, among other things.

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

It's wild here. I'm watching the first half inside, and one TV went out, so everyone turned frantically to another one, and then IT went out, so we all rushed with our chairs to a backup on the other side. 😅

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

Outside for the second half. Everyone was enjoying the show! 😊 And now, it's judgment time. 😬

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

This is getting vicious and dirty. 😬

I need a second heart!

First one might give!

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

Okay, but for all his theatrics tonight, I'll give Messi his tears. Those, he's earned!

@MLClark @LiseL @cmskiera 120" screen, Just me and my adult son and my wife (if she decides to care).
Sushi tonight.
Tuvan throat singing if we need noise.

@Boyceaz @LiseL @cmskiera

Sushi, Tuvan throat singing, and Copa! Now that's cosmopolitan living right there! 🤣👌🏻 Well done. Hope it's a great experience for dad and son alike, at least!

@Boyceaz

Actually, I ran into Doris (one of those ladies I mentioned from before) right away. 😅 I'm sitting with her and a new lady-friend we made on site!

@LiseL @cmskiera

@MLClark @cmskiera @Boyceaz

You know I'm in! My living room has been like a sports bar throughout the /#Copa, so I couldn't escape it if I tried. 🤷 But why would I want to? Two guys I know, a cat, and a giant bowl of popcorn. Vamos Colombia!!!

@MLClark Is mayhem expected? Or just that everyone will be watching?
@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

@MLClark @cmskiera @Boyceaz

Yes please. And could you grab me a rubik's cube and the my little pony? 😁

@LiseL @MLClark @cmskiera @Boyceaz

I saw a limited edition Hulk action figure, can I request that as well 🧐

@MLClark Will they show cartoons and previews of coming attractions?

@WordsmithFL

They SHOULD have, with this hour-and-fifteen delay!

@MLClark I don't doubt that injury to Messi, but rolling back 12 feet to make sure he was on the pitch? 🙄

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

@BillyBones @LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

THIS IS NO TIME FOR ORDINARY BIOLOGY, BILLY. DREAMS ARE ON THE LINE. 🤣

@MLClark 😂

Oh trust me, I'm a Pisces. I'm with you 100%!

I just want to be there when it happens 😝

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

@MLClark Science *and* dreams? I'm definitely in now! ⚛️ ☁️

Hmmm, did Kari Byron ever join CoSo? I feel we need an expert to work with you on this case 🤔

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

@BillyBones

😁 How generous Billy! Thank you for the "assist"!

@MLClark Of course! I'm all about sharing.

Just ask my wife and our girlfr...

Oh wait 🤣

@BillyBones @LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

We picked up two more ladies.

We are all clinging together and NUTS. 😅

@LiseL IAOTIO 😉

But yeah, it's been a really entertaining game and I'm glad the delays didn't suck the life out of it 👍

@MLClark @cmskiera @Boyceaz

@BillyBones 👍 @MLClark @cmskiera @Boyceaz

What a wild ride! I don't know about the players, but I'm exhausted!

The energy just fell right out of the event. The announcer's trying to cheer everyone up with second place, but alas.

This was closer than I thought it would be!

@MLClark @BillyBones @LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

The game started on Sunday and finally finished on Monday morning! What a match!

The air went SO still at that goal. No one even moaned loudly, the way that folks did at various slings and arrows earlier on.

It was just this sudden mass sinking feeling - all the energy and excitement suddenly lost - and a collective silence for those who stayed to see the rest of the game. Many immediately picked up, though, and headed home.

@MLClark @BillyBones @cmskiera @Boyceaz

That's the game. But to be in a massive crowd when it happens: that's something else.

@MLClark @BillyBones @cmskiera @Boyceaz

I love how the photographer captured the young woman looking almost like a Madonna figure...
