World Cup 2014

That Tommy Oar free kick suggests it's not far off, tho.

Both RVP and Robben had moments tonight that reminded me of Bergkamp. RVP header for 1st & Robben take down for 2nd in particular.

Highly recommend Bergkamp's book btw - so refreshing to see a footballer analyse his own game and listen to and consider criticism.

just done further research and discovered that Chris Herd of Aston Villa is on a kind of temporary compassionate leave from football generally following revelations that his missus had getting it on with Darren Bent, as you were, Darren Bent can fucking do one always and forever

* had been getting it on, schoolboy stuff

Yeah it's terrific. Very open minded about what went wrong at Inter for example.

xp

Beeen watching the Holland game in the student bar surrounded by already jubilant Mexico fans. So fucking drunk but what a fucking game! RVP I fucking love you, even though you must have crushed your balls landing that first header. Came home on the train surrounded by all the geriatrics leaving the Rod Stewart concert at the B&HA soccerball multiplex, wanted to hug each and everyone of those poor suckers, I fucking love life and I give not one shit if I die in my sleep cos that was the fucking tits <3<3<3

and good luck strineys, u gonna get pasted

Matt Leckie was quite good for me on FM11 once, but I think that's probably because I was managing Adelaide United.

that's a double xp ;) xxxp

doesn't look like joining the asian football confederation for qualification has done much for aussie football

le bateau tres tres ivre

^nobody's done this yet

Prototypical Cahill goal

go ooooon then cahill!

MASTERPLAN

The koala taco eaters have awoke.

Good work!

I wonder if the Chile keeper will carry on playing as a sweeper. Living a bit dangerously imo.

arise ye marsupial snackers

valdivia going extraordinarily deep for a nominal striker

picking it up near the halfway line with 5 chilean players ahead of him

The left wingback should be killing Aus. He's so open.

chile cld do w/ an enforcer

That was a woeful delivery.

rip pinochet xp

xp chile could do with a centre back, gary medel is a perfectly good enforcer when yr not asking him to mark someone a full foot taller than him

alexis is the first sighting of kinesio tape

Totally drunk, watched the match with friends with a giant Beamer projecting the game on a white sheet. Amazing, simply amazing.

Still hearing chanting and car horns here in Amsterdam right now. Crazy night.

smaek wiid forever

h8 how aussie-centric the commentary is even when they're v mediocre & being outplayed, they don't do this for other countries w/ colonial ties to the uk, it's weird & tiresome & probably racist

no chile players in league one to tenderly patronise

Haha fuck off cahill

wow that was close

Aussies have been much better in this 2nd half tbf

cahill has unpopped his collar what is going on

Australians in New York are the worst thing about New York

This is some magnificent awkward-squadding from Cahill. Australia looking much better now they're not expecting him to run with the ball, just generally put himself about and see if he can make Gonzalo Jara cry. Mark Bresciano is quietly running shit in midfield, too. Chile should have been giving Australia a way harder time of things; yes, their passing and technique is sick, but they really are not impressive without the ball.

Australia's other exciting new plan, Do Not Ever Pass To Tommy Oar Unless It Is Literally Your Only Option, is also working nicely.

ok so if that had gone over the line, would they have stopped the run of play for a kick off and 3-1 chile or would it have just carried on and been tallied 3-1 or would it stay 2-1 or what

idg goalline tech

Yeah I was wondering that too

What is the best thing in football? It is a wide man who is built like a water buffalo.

Oh, and is that Airplane! on Channel 4? Lovely.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit watching football
