Match Days at Andy’s House
23 June 2026
World Cup fever has arrived at Andy’s house. He and his housemates have been getting into the spirit of the tournament, decorating their living room with flags and keeping track of each team’s progress on a wall chart.
It’s all become part of everyday life while the matches are on. Andy lives in a supported living home and can spend his evenings in the way that suits him, with support there if he needs it.
With more evening games still to come, he’s looking forward to a few late nights cheering along.
Reflecting on the tournament so far, Andy said: “It was good. The second half was incredible. I’m just going to see how England get on.”
