You could argue for/against there.

 

In my eyes that's a penalty. Then again, anything that hits the arm which isn't glued to the body is a handball for me.

fuck you Willow. My whole existence was shaken waiting to see what would happen when that blue thing reached the bottom.

Ochoa is a fucking hero. That is all. Good night.

Mexico fans again with the PUUTOOO chant on Cesar's goal kicks

f*** off Dani Alves

 

Incredibly overrated and a massive cock to boot. Probably the least likeable of all the Brazil dive brigade.

Mexico keeper reminiscent of Preud'homme

 

Great spot. My favorite keeper back in the day.

Brazil are fucking amazing. What a team. The football is sensational.

Clearly another case of "shit refereeing" again tonight. By coincidence. Only. Nothing more sinister to it. It's not like 3 mexican players have already been hacked down nowhere near the ball and he's given nothing. Just "bad refereeing". That is all. Fuck the conspiracy theorists.

Thanks Rich

So what the hell happens now to Marcelo and Fred? Both of whom I  had subbed out when they scored utter shit?

That USA top is proper lush like. That shade of blue is belter

 

Looks like a manager's uniform at burger king to me.

 

 

I COULDN;T CARE LESS ABOUT POSTIGA'S TIME AT TOTTENHAM!!! FUCKKK!!!

 

Sorry lads 

David Pleat is a complete fuckwit. The worst co-commentator by far. How this senile knacker still gets paid for this shit is beyond me. He's an utter disgrace. His knowledge of modern football on anything non-Tottenham is pathetic, and he does fuck all research before games.

 

Polo Bento. Fuck off you wrinkly dick cunt.

74 pts with Ayew, Ameobi, Shatov and Montazeri to play. All subbed on for the shitty performers.

 

This is utter crap.

The advantage allowed by the ref in the lead up to Switzerland's second goal. Dat tackle and run by Behrami 

Santwat stop it ffs

Anyone else watched all 8 matches so far? Think I'll be able to catch all 3 today, but my streak will end on Monday. Have to miss Germany-Portugal, unfortunately.

 

Seen every minute bar the first 30 minutes of Chile - Oz. Fuck sleep, and fuck work.

Pirlo's job is made a lot easier by the fact that the entire team is set up around him. The Italian movement off the ball was brilliant, and that made Pirlo look majestic. And he is, every bit a majestic player. But I'm sure he wouldn't be as effective if he had Pardew-esque movement ahead of him.

So, Celso Borges then?

 

Kept things ticking over in midfield for CR. Not bad. Didn't stand out much other than that iirc.

33 points from 5 players

 

Benaglio, Schaer, Di Maria, Valbuena, Misimovic, J Ayew and Messi© left.

Wish we could stop discussing NUFC for the next 3 weeks. Enjoying football too much to get bogged down with this shit. So depressing.

For some reason, this game is the one I'm looking forward to the most out of today;s matches. It's f***ing 4am and I'm still going. f*** it. A month every 4 years innit. Howay Tiote/Yaya

I think North and South America should be counted as one area when rotating the bids.  There is realistically only a couple of countries who could put a World Cup on and that is the USA and now Brazil.  I recall reading that since the tournament was expanded to 32 countries, bidding countries have to have a certain number of cities to host games and that means virtually all countries in South America are unable to bid which is why Brazil had no rivals when it came to being South America's turn.  Even Argentina would have a problem with the tournament in its current format.  I am not sure if Mexico could cope now even though they have also hosted the World Cup previously.

 

On that basis, it means that the US and Brazil will get to host the World Cup regularly compared to countries in Europe.

 

How many "cities" does Qatar have?

Stupid playing Rooney out wide. No reason you can't have a front 4 of Barkley, Sterling, Rooney and Sturridge.

 

This. This. This. This. This. This.This. This. This.This. This. This.

This Sterling kid isn't ready at all.

 

He's been fine IMO, but I would still rather have Barkley in his place. Already twice the player Sterling is.

No he isn't twice the player Sterling is. Sterling is a better player

 

Not through the middle like that he isn't. IMO.
