Not been impressed whatsoever by him neither

Instead of being a dick like Dave, I'll answer it nicely. Red card will count towards the next friendly not competitive game. If you're red carded in a competitive game it counts towards the next competitive game. That's why Mandzukic is suspended for the first game. Thought so too, but it was worth a question. He wasn't being a dick if you were watching the UK coverage, put it that way. Silly Brazil. In which case he'd probably not have asked the question at all?

What a finish.

Ox is a cheating bastard for doing that.

No fucking way. £50k? No way we're even close to matching that.

Yep. Good young player. ''young''. He's Jozy young Jozyoung? Nah didn't work, fuck that.

I've not been very impressed the few times I've seen them play. Devastating team when playing at elevation, but not as good otherwise. Mostly rely on athleticism and strength to bully other teams off the ball. Though they do have a few players of real quality, mind. It's a damn shame about Chucho Benitez. Lovely player who I don't think got enough time to show what he had in England. They've actually been quite decent for a while here. I like Felipe Caicedo, such a strong good player and Valencia always does well in the NT. Agree about Chucho, hope they can go through to the next round in honour of him.

Seen both rooney and Wilshere go into challenges uncommitted. Both look scared of getting injured. I could understand a bit in a 50/50 but when the bloke is 3 or 4 yards away looking to shoot you just don't do that. Oh well. Entertaining for the wrong reasons, as previously mentioned. Although I think it's far more intelligent to go all in into a challenge, less chance of injury. Dat goal

Yup. His one major weakness, decision making. Hopeful though for someone with so much natural ability, that will come to him in the coming couple of years. Definitely will Seems to have everything to become an excellent footballer.

Got so lucky on the first one

These two defenses

Haven't seen Ecuador playing this well in a while.

I like Barkley and Wilshere.

As opposed to....? Mike's a dick, but I'm not having a fraud call me insufferable.

I personally don't find their defense solid. Lovren is their best defender and it says it all. Simunic was starting in the qualifiers and didn't look comfortable against Iceland. Their only left-back is crocked. Think Mexico has a big chance because they usually beat Brazil when it matters so can definitely see them getting a point or three from us that will be extremely valuable. Honest prediction is Brazil 7p, Mexico 5p, Croatia 4p, Cameroon 0p. Do agree on the other group though. Think Bosnia looks the strongest and unless Iran can by some miracle shut down at least 2 of the 3 teams then they stand a chance.

Worst part is they'll sign someone that's going to be even better.

Hope me and Greg get lucky. Brazil v Germany in BH England v Argentina in SP That would be a dream come true.

Fuck that. Rickie Lambert to Arsenal for £32m. Clearly not happening.

Its Panama man What does that have to do with my post? He was great against Italy, Uruguay and Spain last year as well, been excellent in most of the games he's played for us since then. Get off your high horse expert.

Fucking norwegian thinking only cause they're rich they can throw away pennies.

Went to check if you had put a tick next to my name. ''The Flea'' :lol: FFS still gets me
