Well... that's the 2026 World Cup over, and what a ride it's been at Stanley's! ๐ปโฝ
A huge thank you to everyone who packed the bar, cheered, celebrated, argued with the ref from 3,000 miles away and drank us out of beer. You lot made every game brilliant! โค๏ธ
England may not have brought it home, but finishing 3rd after battering France 6-4 isn't exactly a bad way to end the tournament! ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฅ
Then came the final...
Spain ๐ช๐ธ vs Argentina ๐ฆ๐ท
Football? โ๏ธ
Drama? โ๏ธ
Play acting? โ๏ธโ๏ธ
Questionable tackles? โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Enough drama to last until the next World Cup? โ๏ธ๐
Even after the final whistle, Argentina still hadn't quite accepted that it was over. ๐๐ป๐
But none of it mattered because Spain got the only thing that counts...
๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ช๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฃ! ๐ช๐ธ ๐ฅณ
And can we just have a quick word about that half-time show... ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
Only the Americans could think, "Do you know what this World Cup Final needs? Less football and more showbiz!" ๐
Seriously though, thank you to every single customer who chose Stanley's to watch the tournament. Whether you were cheering, groaning, celebrating, or convincing the referee he needed Specsavers, you've all helped create an amazing atmosphere from the first match to the last.
Now...
Roll on the Premier League! ๐บโฝโค๏ธ
