⚽ MAURI’S WORLD CUP SWEEPSTAKE UPDATE! ⚽ (…and picture of cute dog in hat to cheer me up 😂…see video clip)
Well… as an England fan, I’m a little disappointed this morning! 😢⚽
Huge congratulations to the Argentinian supporters that joined us in the bar yesterday 🇦🇷
And thank you to all our guests for your support!
🎉 We’ll be staying open on Sunday evening so you can watch the World Cup Final with us! Kick-off is at 8:00pm, so come along, grab an Italian coffee (or something a little stronger! 😉), enjoy some delicious pinsa, and soak up the atmosphere as Spain take on Argentina to become World Cup champions. We’d love to see you! ⚽☕🇮🇹
We recommend booking a table, as we’re expecting it to be a busy evening and we’d hate for you to miss out!
Last night’s semi-final ended:
🇦🇷 Argentina 2️⃣ - 1️⃣ England 🏴
My sweepstake team Argentina 🇦🇷 are through to the World Cup Final! 🎉 Talk about mixed emotions!
Commiserations to Debbie G, whose England 🏴 gave us all hope before Argentina came back to take the win. Never mind… maybe the Lionesses will bring it home in the Women’s World Cup 2027! ❤️🤍 I’ll wash my Primarni England top and tuck it away safely until then 🤍❤️
As ever, after a hard-fought game, there were plenty of football experts making their way home from Mauri’s… not least Mauri himself! 😂 Given that Italy haven’t qualified for a World Cup for 12 years, it did make me chuckle when he started analysing England’s tactics with, “In Italy we…” 🇮🇹🤣
Thanks to everyone who’s joined in with the Mauri’s World Cup Sweepstake. One more weekend to go… who’s your money on? 👀
☕ See you all at Mauri’s for great coffee, fresh food and plenty more football chat!
Find us on the coastal path underneath the Alua hotel in Golf del Sur
