So who's with me for #Sportsball tonight?

@LiseL? @cmskiera? @Boyceaz?

What's your set-up for game time?

Drinks? Snacks? Company? Vuvuzelas?

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

Quick! Who needs a vuvuzela?! 😅

And the overall vibe before gametime...

@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 @cmskiera @Boyceaz

Tensions couldn't be higher.

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

THE SCREAMS WE JUST HAD HERE 🤣

@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz

THE TENSION. 😬 I MIGHT LAY AN EGG.

I just want to be there when it happens 😝

We are all clinging together and NUTS. 😅

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.
