Fans in a country where they probably see a higher standard of football in the third division?

Nigeria are livening up a bit. Shola coming on clearly has the same effect for them as Drogba coming on for the Ivory Coast.

Exactly! He isn't ours anymore He is man! Embrace it!!! HE IS OURS FOREVER

You'd be shitting Asian Cups if Shola was Korean. Would you believe that we haven't won that shitty thing in over 50 years?

Poor KaKa, I'm so happy that Shola's not Korean

To be fair these are two teams who've always had a tendency to be decent in qualifying and then spontaneously combust in the finals.

The irony of us actually demanding that Shola come on in a match thread.

If Iran look this bad, I can't imagine how terrible we're going to be tomorrow

There is absolutely no redeeming aspect to the game so far but I can't turn it off because Shola might come on, in which case I would be witnessing history.

Think he's been decent the last 10 Yeah he's starting to dictate play. There we go

All the games today have been fairly shit

Was that guy in a Sunderland shirt?

Bosnia isn't giving up on this

Poor Bosnia

Why bother replaying it from various angles? It's in. the Technology said so. This is why it's there.

Glorious, glorious technology!

Can we just pretend NUFC doesn't exist in this thread?

ooooh

Shoot you idiot

Debating whether I should go to a bar and participate in the "U!S!A!U!S!A!" chants tomorrow. Korea is so shit this year I feel like I'll have to enjoy the World Cup vicariously.

Can't believe Switzerland is seeded.

This Jefferson Montero dude is just never going to pass, is he?

Not the best of games this. Switzerland has clearly gone to the Alan Pardew School of Set Piece Fret.

I love Latin American national anthems

Shit, how'd you figure that out?
