I'd agree, VI, but I've had some decent success over the past week. Very surprised that, even if not playing well, Spain didn't win by 2 goals.

As if to fucking rub it in. Spain, not you Jonny. Had -1. Ah well. Getting arseholed tonight in town and no doubt some reckless hungover betting on the England game will occur. God bless online betting.

What the fucking hell are Spain playing at? Being fucking bossed around by Saudi fucking Arabia.

Since when were Saudi Arabia a decent team?

99% glass.

24 teams this time, every chance they will be really. They'll certainly be expected to. Hope they can handle the pressure.

£9.50 on ROI Norway Spain -1 England

Some common sense!

Also, are Senegal pretty gash at the moment?

I've just noticed: that daft deposit rollover thing; pretty complicated system but it seems I'm soon coming up to the point at which I finally get my free £20, about time!

Oy, Jonny, where you getting these free bets from? bet365 must not enjoy my custom.

Starting to build up a bit of a kitty for the WC. A few that have caught my aye for the next couple of days: Ireland Slovakia DNB Spain -1 Germany Tenner would return £78.

Baba, you'll be disappointed to know I'm going to miss the Belarus v Honduras friendly today. And aye TaylorJ___________________01, it's gonna be a riot. Hopefully not literally.

My man* Sanchez got 2. But aye, last 2 were really good, especially the 3rd. As I say, Bielsa was going nuts before those goals and rightly so. The result papers over what was a poor performance but as you say, we'll see how they do with a full team starting. Uruguay have impressed, going to win 4-1 against Israel. Abreu is 1 away from matching the international record. *He's not actually my man but since he's on my bedroom door for reasons I'm not entirely sure of, he's getting my full support.

He says as they score 2 in 2 minutes.

Chile are 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go. Bielsa is going absolutely crazy and I don't blame him; let's just say the passing hasn't exactly improved.

Watching some of Uruguay v Israel now. 1-0 Forlan.

True, but some alarmingly simple passes going astray. Bielsa will want more from the 2nd half.

Christ, Chile's passing has been an absolute horror show.

This Chile commentary is fucking weird.

Aye I'm gonna give them a watch for a bit (longer if it's canny). Currently got an Alexis Sanchez sticker on my door so I reckon he'll do well. Bam Bam to get all 26 in a comprehensive Chile victory, hopeful.

Might give Chile a watch later. Not that a game against Zambia's really going to tell us loads but I haven't watched them in a while. Anyone know if the line-up will be similar to the expected one in their first game?

Right in my head man. Very catchy though as people have said. Disco: aye, it's at Lens.

France 0-1 Costa Rica. Edit: not for long.
