John Barnes.

Incredible attempt.

John Barnes.

There's a very angry man on the sidelines.

Not sure if Mike Williams can save England now.

This is appalling.

Someone just got attacked by dial-up internet.

How on earth did Walcott and Rooney manage to mess that up? It took a concerted effort to fuck it up.

Yeah Leighton, listen to the Tactics Truck maestro himself.

£50m?

Oh no, Cleverley and Welbeck are unavailable.

Dunno what Taylor's done to deserve that.

Aye, going to watch this then marvel at how so-called lesser countries play infinitely better football than we do. Or, y'know, we could twat them all. INGERLUND!

What the hell?

A lot of money on that. And 33p.

Did you know John Barnes scored against Brazil in 1984? In other news, Dave Whelan broke his leg in an FA Cup final, y'know.

What a fucking stadium, man.

Yeah. Sort it out or this thread's getting moved to Chat.

Since betting on sports other than football seems to be going well: Germany over 1.5 goals/Neymar anytime double.

Brazil in Brazil will batter us something silly. As long as Jagielka backheel nutmegs Neymar I'll consider it a successful visit.

Anyone bet on the NBA? Have quite a bit money (by my standards anyway) on Miami to win it this year, laid off my bet to guarantee profit if the Spurs or Indiana win. Still obviously want Miami to win but it's a bit of a safety net. A mate of mine is set to win over a grand if they do win it. I've told him to lay it but I don't think he's going to which I think is mad. I understand the arguments against covering your bet but it's not for me. Could be an especially nervous watch for him for Game 7 tomorrow and beyond, if they make it through. Do people tend to lay their bets? I'm pretty risk-averse in that sense. Call it cowardly, I call it sensible. I know what my luck is often like so it's a no-brainer for me - given the odds are right.

I don't think we'll get mullered as is being generally predicted. Don't think Brazil are the real deal yet, and yes, I'm aware of how underwhelming we are. Will plump for 2-1 Brazil.

Could this be because he's not the focal point of attack(Ronaldo is) despite showing on the graphics he is? He's more of an AM for Madrid which is shown by the fact he has 35 assists in the last 2 seasons. Actually 52 goals an 35 assists in two seasons aint bad at all considering I'm not disagreeing with you. He seemed to play ridiculously deep for France as well at the Euros. Very often picking the ball up in the centre of midfield. Never said you were, just something i have picked up and felt like mentioning it. That's quite alright old chap. Jolly good. Carry on.

3-2-1-3-1-1 formation. Goalie is the secondary trequartista alongside Danny Rose.
