Some game like.

Lukaka!!

Fuck off autocorrect. What the fuck is a lukaka?

Good game this. Suarez has to score.

Lukaka.

Older brother is a Liverpool fan. I've lost count of the number of insults Glen Johnson has been on the end of here.

Would have liked Ben Arfa in for Shola. Disappointing, but we can still win this.

Joe Allen.

Ben Arfa in for Shola as the only change in the front six would suit me. Pardew has tried him centrally a few times his year, the false nine doesn't fit him but as a traditional number ten he might fare better. Would allow us to keep the same midfield four that has done so well lately while getting Hatem back in there. If he could click with Remy it's a potentially mouthwatering partnership up top.

Never been that impressed with him for Ireland, but then Trapattoni never exactly set up teams that played to his attackers' strengths. Think we'd benefit far more from a Gomis type who is effective holding the ball up.

Never want to say anything when they're all moaning.

Trevor Francis just said that this Portugal team isn't good enough for Ronaldo to win the WC singlehandedly with.

You could feel the yao faces in the stadium when he got that.

Jesus, he's fucking lethal.

It's nuts. Friendlies FFS.

Zlatan reminds me of Loki from Thor, both in looks and character.

Holy fuck.

Zlatan!!!!

Wow, Kallstrom takes a dive. Webb having none of it, unfortunately. Still, Sweden have finally woken up.

Cracking through ball, and the greasy looking fella is lethal. Sweden have been shite.

Then they have the cheek to cheer after their own abortion of a song.

Ferocious booing of the Portuguese anthem. Man, Swedish people have a dark side.

This is a dismal game like, totally shite.

City haven't looked like scoring here, Mackems killing them off very well.

Paul McShane's debut for Ireland he looked fucking immense. Was against the Czech Republic, anyone who came near him with the ball got dispossessed immediately. He looked composed as fuck on the ball too, spraying passes out from the back. How in the fuck?
