god Ivory Coast look hopeless at the back

Japan looking dangerous

I believe it was a moth

got to wonder if its a world cup too late for them to finally get a non horrific group.

lovely stuff

Ah good to see Tiote bringing his usual style of tackling

the mere presence of Andrea Pirlo

its hard to think of someone less qualified to wear that number, one of the things in football that really bugs me actually is players wearing the wrong number for their position, recall getting infuriated any time I saw Gallas wearing 10 for Arsenal. Same with Gyan wearing number 3 for Ghana tbh I got mildly annoyed seeing Sagna wearing 3, hes a rb he wears 2 not 3 thats for the left back! And yes I am aware of how petty a gripe that one in particular is.

isn't half the proposed stadiums for that one supposed to be in Doha anyway?

keep forgetting Zakora exists

you have to question how fit Suarez can possibly be by the time thursday comes around, surely if he was anywhere close to being ready he comes on today.

Italy managed the heat and humidity much better than England who looked dead in their feet by 75-80 mins. Also I love Pirlo what a player

And have thought this was the most nailed on nil all of all time beforehand. Glad to be wrong good game hope both sides can keep it up

Costa Rica good or Uruguay shite without Suarez? Or both

They've gone mad

its actually odd that there was this much time before the world cup, usually a decision is made roughly 7 years before they play it, plenty of time to do everything in theory but for some unfathomable reason they voted for 2 world cups at once so magically qatar had 12 years to prepare, what a strange coincidence........

Why do you base everything on the first game? not seen enough else from Chile to base on anything else and based on what I saw tonight 2nd half in particular just won't work against Spain and Holland

unlucky Australia, good effort. Can't see Chile getting through

kinda hoping Australia equalize here

don't be silly, Blatter will have a revote to make himself look good and get reelected then magically it will still go to Qatar because of "the quality of their bribes bid"

tell you what though that Spain Chile game just became a lot more interesting

just wow, great game and a delight to watch

wow what a harsh punishment, whatever will he do to cope...............

and now I can't unsee that
