Away Toon

Since when did Vlaar become a world class defender? Is he that good playing for Villa or is the dross alongside him dragging him down?

"Look, I'd gladly stay in Southampton if the club had any ambitions, if they kept the key players," Lovren told Croatian paper Sportske Novosti. The player, whose agent told the BBC the quotes were accurate, added that "not even the Liverpool bid" would have persuaded him to leave had England internationals Lambert, Lallana and Shaw stayed.

Let's hope when he leaves, he says something similar to what Lovren has been quoted as saying. The club has no ambition, sells it's best players, why would I want to stay.

This Dutch team winning the WC would be as bad as if the 2010 team had beaten Spain in the final.

I'm glad Robben is getting grief from the crowd, he's been cheating his entire career, people seem to have finally cottoned on.

Like watching paint dry is an overused expression, but wow that was boring.

"Everybody talks about this Belgium team but they resorted to smashing it upfield and were terrible. Let's not talk about this team as the next generation and their attacking talent as I thought they were absolutely pathetic. From the BBC

A bit more money, rumoured to be a 100k a week, and don't forget we didn't drive him to Liverpool we flew him in Mikes helicopter so we wouldn't miss the deadline to sell him.

Santon will be just as shit at RB as LB, maybe even worse as he obviously doesn't want to play on the right side. Fuck with will probably play Taylor there, S not R.

All those old British football pundits, mostly defenders, and often ex Liverpool who have been going on ad fucking nauseum for years about how Luiz is this and that, put that in your fucking pipes and smoke it.

Lots of totty in the crowd for this one.

Well the club will be happy, Debuchy, sell sell sell, Sissoko, the same if someone will have him.

French=Toast

I don't know how well Matuidi plays for PSG but for France he looks pretty underwhelming.

I hope that he's kept himself fit this summer and that he comes back and shows Pardew exactly what he is capable of, otherwise we are going to lose the only player we have with real technical ability and talent.

The US are much more likely to do well in 4 years time than the bunch of overpaid bottling wankers that represent England that's for sure.

There have been some good games at this World Cup, but plenty of shit ones as well. This one is boring as fuck so far.

Still got Jonas, he can play at fullback.

Top totty just then

Some godamnawful penalties among that lot

There are two ways of looking at penalty shoot outs. One is that it's either a hollow victory or a horrible defeat, the second is that both teams have had 120 minutes plus and that neither of the useless tossers have been able to win the game and deserve whatever comes there way.

So many average/ not very good players in this Brazil team.

What ever has happened to Oscar? Pardewed by his mentor at Chelsea I think.

I think Columbia wins.

Africans, always good for a laugh.
