You cant parody them. "We've (Sunderland) beat Liverpool to Wickham for £12M" They 'beat Liverpool to the signing of Connor Whickham' weirdly the same summer their best player went to Liverpool. Its almost like Liverpool could have plucked anybody they wanted from Sunderland's grasp or something. Canny goal for Forest Green the other week mind. He could have been yours Liverpool.

Great attitude from Canada, playing hard just for the equaliser. Brought something to the tournament unlike Wales and Poland albeit they got through. Belgium completely finished. Witsel one of the most over-rated players ever. Martinez has to start over somewhere. Morocco are nothing special but could best whoever they get next if its not Spain. Croatia just about not quite bang average plus they play their way.

It makes sense only because of the original stupid idea not being workable, in the same way a world cup in winter made sense after awarding the hosting of it to a desert.

"Their first team plays matches while the world cups on, Sunluns a massive club"

Almost farcical because of Poland that. Instead of coming down to least yellows, the rule should be the most boringest c**ts go out. They've achieved what they wanted in getting through the group so how bad are they going to be now?

That's what's so annoying about Wales, Denmark, Poland. That teams worse than them can have a go. Australia would if they could, they're just limited. Used to be a big deal when there was an exceptionally boring team or two at the world cup - Bulgaria 86, Uruguay 90, Norway 94. Every groups got at least one now it seems.

Sickening for football that decision. If you can stop the game for 3minutes, watch 10 replays and still give one of the worst decision ever, then it doesn't work. The very fact that that is a possibility makes it redundant surely.

Offered absolutely nothing.

Poppins-esque

Well done you US lads, that's the outcome I wanted. At least have prospects against an unimpressive Holland.

They couldn't have asked for a better group either and were entirely awful. At best they weren't completely shit for one half but were in all the others I know they're shit but still, they're not the only ones and that was a sorry campaign.

Fuck me, in the US game

Or whinging about it even

The only thing I enjoy about England winning is Scotland losing

Group over. A mercy killing. Wales have stunk the place out.

Definitely will be and that's what I'll be doing. Got no time for either England or Wales admittedly but cant see it being good. Either easy for England, turgid struggle for England or Wales hanging on to something.

Think they probably thought the homage was naming the restraurant after him and a stand too would be overkill.

Or alternatively see how you feel on the day and toddle over and pick which of the opened stands you want to sit in. And no railway station. Was a cave with a few glass panels and steps leading to and from last time I was there.

England will win unspectacularly and Iran will get a goal on the counter that the US wont overhaul for a win. Iran through with England to emphasise what a s**t group this was

Would have ruined watching Gordon McKeag's expression as a number was draw/read out. A little smirk and you knew it was us. A little pout and shrug of 'not bad' if we got Coventry at home.

Gettin. Feared it'd be one of those big-gate inspires opponents things that seem to happen. *actually probably better if they do it this way, get the fans through the gamut

Wow. That was a Sunday too wasn't it. Was harrowing news. When they say out of the blue. Felt really rocked that day. Don't think I've seen that clip of him coming on at Shearer's testimonial to that ovation and not felt emotional. I'm so glad he and we got that.

I've never seen him play anything but shit. Modest, self-conscious, shy as I am .....I'm convinvced I was better than him.

My first away game the 1991 game. Barely saw a thing of course but loved it all the same. I remember it being not hostile at all and kinda cringe when they played 'we will rock you' and dead right that Boro in 92 was very different, saw someone dragged into an alley like a hook on a stage near the ground.

The two second goals in the group could be major. Cant see Argentina beating a negative Poland and can't see Mexico, having to go for it, beating Saudi. Didn't watch any of the last world cup but these are the worst Argentina and Mexico teams I've seen
