Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Rounding Off the Round of 16

 

Morning, chaps - the Round of 16 wraps up today with the Group E and F match-ups. It all starts this morning with Spain against a surprising Morocco team. This afternoon, we've got Portugal v. Switzerland. The mainstream narrative has this heading toward an Iberian Derby in the quarterfinals but football is a funny old game at times. 

I won't be around much today because of work and a car appointment but I thought I would start us off.
