Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 @OptaJoe 0 - No team has ever lost their opening two games at the #WorldCup and advanced from the group. Miracle. If Yakubu scores from a yard out, Nigeria do it last time. It won't require a miracle, or even just anything special if you consider the fixtures as events that have taken place in isolation. The main factor is Italy beating up on Uruguay and Costa Rica as you only lost by the odd goal. England are still in a very decent position to go through.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I don't think the odds of us having the opportunity to go through are that large in all honesty, I just cannot see us beating Costa Rica by more than 1 goal if that's what it comes down to.

Wullie Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can't see Italy winning their next two games. They're not very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can't see Italy winning their next two games. They're not very good. They're certainly not great. Fucking embarrassing the reaction to us 'impressively' getting dominated by them for most of the game on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Personally I think Italy are a good team and that Uruguay side were not very good. Half fit Suarez and not much else. If England can't get the job done there, they won't get it done convincingly against Costa Rica. Deservedly going home . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can't see Italy winning their next two games. They're not very good. Same was said when they won it in 2006 and got to the finals of Euro 2012, i happen to disagree and think they'll make the semi's again. Italians are always underestimated.

Keefaz Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 We've played worse than this before and got out of the group stages. The defence is not great when you compare it to the quality we've had at the back in recent times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Major positive about that loss is that there haven't been any puns. I put on a film all about Scottish golfing legend Colin Montgomerie.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Italy kept the ball with consumate ease against us like, it was really quite impressive. Aye. They weren't exactly dazzling against us but they comfortably controlled the game bar the odd moments of pressure we applied in the first half. Effectively just packed the centre and let that right mid rape Baines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Quick question, I don't blame him, but how does a keeper the size of Hart manage to make him so small every time in situations like that. He actually gets smaller on one on ones. Dandruff is eating his brain. Seriously though, I was f***ing impressed at how small he became when Suarez got infront of him. Goalkeepers are supposed to make themselves bigger, but he kinds of puts his body into position to get even smaller. I'm seriously amazed. It's like a hockey goaltender throwing away all the protection right before someone comes one on one. How do you manage that? I like how you say you don't blame him then completely rip him to pieces. I fully agree with you, but he should be absolutely pelted for that passage of play. He wasn't correctly positioned (too far to his left) and, as you say, he ducked rather than making himself as big as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, I don't really take much interest in the qualifiers tbh. I think they were 1 win in 7 before the tournament and drew 1-1 with Luxembourg a week before the start with a full strength side, and 0-0 with Ireland the week before.
