Best preformance in a toon shirt

Those are obviously photoshopped.

Blessing in disguise if he's out for three matches

Over half of those players would walk into our squad to be honest. Then again, same vice versa as well. Evenly matched imo.

I'm reasonably confident that he'll go when he says he wants to and not a minute before that.

It's a bit of a shame that a team of Iran's caliber feels the need to time-waste like that against the likes of North Korea.

"happy with a draw" my ass. We're going out there with a terrible starting XI and beating them 1-0 with a goal deflected off Alan Smith's left elbow in the 94th minute. You heard it here first.

I had whale for dinner once and also enjoy yodeling.

It was an anticlimactic debate though. I was expecting a response rather than just a white flag of defeat. Usually arguments on here go on and on until both posters cannot be bothered anymore I also did not entirely understand the picture, but I do think he was trying to be racist. I suppose I should google up a pic of an alpine-skiing Viking communist as a retort?

I don't mind being wrong, but I still don't get djmattis' jokes.

Logic works for some people. Some people just need to be laughed at in a derisory manner until they come to their fucking senses.

No pitches, infrastructure, people that care enough. Best give them the world cup though. 1.3 billion people and not a professional standard player in site. Rubbish. It'd be like asking why Americans are terrible at Cricket. They just don't play it. Not entirely correct, while cricket is obviously far ahead it's not as if football is simply not played. In certain regions Football is not far behind cricket in popularity and arguably even as popular. All schools across India actively play football. For example in West Bengal football is as popular as cricket, and when you consider that West Bengal as a region has a population of over 90 million people it's shameful that they struggle to produce a player of even professional standard. The appetite for football is actually quite high, if I remember correctly the viewing figures for the likes of the Premier League dwarf that of the UK. It's simply that the infrastructure and organisation of local football is abysmal. I also think somebody like Chopra (or Vikash Dhorasoo instead of having a handful of caps for France) would have been good for the game over there. Cricket having national icons like Tendulkar only drags further attention away from football and other sports. Having a player of professional quality might have helped to given kids somebody to identify with, but the Indian FA simply aren't going to have it apparently. Comparing cricket's popularity in the US to football's in India is not really a great comparison at all. Okay... umm... you're right and I'm wrong?

YOU'RE NOT BEING NEGATIVE ENOUGH LET ME SHOW YOU SOME REAL NEGATIVITY YOU PANSIES Enough negativity for you yet? Its called being realistic. HAHA SEE I'M RIGHT ALL THE TIME THAT'S WHY I ONLY POST WHEN ONE OF MY MILLION NEGATIVE PREDICTIONS COME TRUE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO. IN FACT I'M SO RIGHT THAT I'M ALMOST AS ACCURATE AS DAILY MAIL TRANSFER RUMORS

Now Shola gets to find a whole new way to frustrate us: going off to the African Nation's Cup when every other striker at the club is injured.

Shock and awe. Shock and fucking awe.

No pitches, infrastructure, people that care enough. Best give them the world cup though. 1.3 billion people and not a professional standard player in site. Rubbish. It'd be like asking why Americans are terrible at Cricket. They just don't play it. Looking forward to how many we'll put past them

Man it's not even funny how badly Japan has been screwed over by the refs though. Not that I have any sympathy for them. Ah well, best teams in the tournament always start slow. Think of us as the Spain of Asia.

Disappointing match on so many levels. You have to expect better than this from both teams

Why are we taking off our best player for the man with one foot? To be fair, 99% of all teams on Earth would look woeful to you. I'm having fun

Fuck, very disappointing goal to concede there.

Yah, missed it while I was fixing lunch. Now that I see the repeat it was pretty awful defending by Australia, he was lone in the box. I agree, terrible defending. West Ham-esque.

Koo Ja-Chul with his third goal of the tournament.

Good to see a moment of silence for the Queensland floods. I don't mind having some nationalism mixed in for international matches at all.

South Korea v. Aussies starting up right now, very much looking forward to this. Probably the "biggest" match out of the entire group stages. Stadium is almost empty though
