Some points for discussion:
1. Since most (if not all) of the matches will be broadcasted on tv, I was wondering if you guys still want to have a live viewing/match discussion post like what I did on the friendlies? If yes, would anyone want to help me on the posts? I most certainly can do the first day and the days with Spain's matches but the rest, I'm not so sure. If you'd like to volunteer, please leave a comment with the day(s) you're taking. Alternatively, we can also just have a reminder post for the matches at the start of the week or an update/summary at the end of the day/week thing. Idk, it's up to you guys.
2. and just for fun:
a. Which team(s) do you support?
b. Which team do you think will win?
c. Which team do you want to win/deserves to win?
d. US v. UK - PLACE YOUR BETS ON WHO YOU THINK WILL WIN LOL
(optional) e. Post a picture of a footballer who you think resembles a Hetalia character? idk I'm trying to make it more relevant to Hetalia lol
