It’s a new theme: a World Cup sleepover. And that is exactly what my daughter Lola, 10, and a couple of her friends were demanding on Saturday night for the unbelievably tense England v Norway match.
It’s the first time she’s shown any interest in football. Euros have come and gone, she even missed the earlier England v Congo match and I refused to let her watch England v Mexico which ended up starting at 2am. For the quarter-final, though it was a non-negotiable, there had to be a World Cup sleepover somewhere, somehow.
