Shame like from Lodeiro. Was looking forward to seeing him play a bit. Never a pelanty that btw.

Vamos la Celeste!

Govou is fucking shit

werent we promised the best south american youngsters for taking him on loan? so, errrr, where the fuck are they? We'd have had them if Wise hadn't been forced out. like caio ferreira he was more like ciao ferreira

I wasn't being entirely serious. I know, just fancied a bit of a mold rant. Been impressed with holding 2 for Uruguay in midfield. Been the typical shit French no creative edge first game of recent tournys

Got 5-4 written all over it if you stay in bed.

Not at all LLLO, just something I think is a shame tbh. The mental & difference in ways foreign fans support their teams is one of the reasons I enjoy the World Cup. As Col says Sth Africa is a ballache to get from, it is from here nevermind from somewhere like Uruguay + the scare stories put ppl off. Usually Korea have a huge following but I read there'll only be few hundred of them. Is the World Cup not supposed to be for the fans?

somethings gonna have to be done about the atmosphere, keep the vuvuzelas for the SA games but they should be banned for the rest. You can't hear any roar of the crowd, the shouting when a foul is called, you can't hear any chants from the fans. Its awful! They're not the issue. The stadium is bereft of French or Uruguayan people to make the noise. Aside from a few teams most teams will have fuck all fans there. Shame really. Luckily it shouldn't be so bad for England games.

Seems a bit pre-season friendly this. Neither team offering much, no atmosphere, not much action.

No atmosphere bar the horns like. Not enough proper fans at this world cup lets it down big style.

was interested in seeing Lodeiro too. mind you havent exactly watched much of Nacho tbf... Was shit when he came on against Hull.

Because the manager is fucking clueless. Malouda has had his best ever season, one of the worlds form players currently, played in most of their qualifiers/friendlies, best get him dropped. The Moon must be Jupiter or something.

Govou ahead of Malouda? Jesus wept man Domenech. Disappointed no Lodeiro.

Where are you from? Norn Ireland innit? Not Catalunya?

pretty much although set pieces are a worry defensively. If we win tomorrow I'll be disappointed if we don't reach the last 4 with our easyish draw.

Could well do, be him or Lodeiro in the hole behind the front 2. Hoepfully Lodeiro will play as he is an exciting young prospect.

Lennon v Bocanegra, yes please.

OOOH AHH COTE D'IVORIE

They put it back two years like?

English World Cup commentary, always finding the most obtuse ways to bring out 1966 Shak is a French Thierry Henry fan IIRC.

i meant to quote the guy that said its patronise the ref time The way they go on is terrible. Who cares where he's from? England is the birthplace of football but that didn't do Mr. Poll much use in 2006.

Never be allowed them in SJP. Couldn't even take flags in some of the time man. Fucking jobsworth stewards.

Complete liability on crosses too. Both in this game and the friendly v us. Too short/unimposing for a keeper IMO.

Great to see both teams still going for it.

Patronise the ref time.
