Headed up to Galleries South last week to see if anything was showing in the "Cinema" area. Wimbledon was on - on mute - and the five or so rows of Sofas where occupied by people sleeping. The TV and the picture quality was grainy anyway.

Are there any TVs in the upstairs part of the LGW lounge?

Interesting that a significant number of pubs are not showing the England games due to the aggro involved. I can see why BA are not making a big thing out of this in the lounges.

I find the behaviour of fans in this country deeply shaming. Why can we not be more like the Japanese?

I agree it's always been a bit embarrassing to be English when some fans have been so intent on causing trouble over the years. Thankfully that's one element of this tournament that has been missing and let's hope it stays that way with the likely influx of additional English fans into Russia for the semi-final (I'm not mentioning the match at the weekend).

I think there is one on the opposite side to the apron windows, but I don't think it's the best TV for the game, there is a bigger TV on the wall on the main floor that makes up the partition from the central food area, and I suspect there will be a bigger crowd by the TV on the wall by the business centre / kids games room (where there is a football table if things get really heavy).

Why not head into the terminal and watch it in one of the outlets there?
