revising my estimation of England's final group position downwards

Thought opening games were always supposed to be draws?

England are gonna top this group NV

nice of Pereira to thin Uruguay's team choices a bit tho

If they get at least a draw tonight then they'll win the other 2 games.

But then again I didn't think Holland or Costa Rica would score so....

the notion of a referee dramatically commentating on his own actions has done me proper
i like the idea that "keep yr discipline" is the worst thing u can say to a ref

watching recap of eng-italy at the Euros I was all shit I can't remember this at all and I spent a v disconcerting few mins racking my brains trying to think where I was and what I was doing that I can't remember any of that whole tournament

No Milner. guy is totally under-rated I think

The pitch at Manaus is in horrendous shape apparently

reports all day had players saying it was fine?
they showed some lads trying to stamp it down earlier. Looked fucked
― Number None, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:10 (nine years ago) link
5 LFC players in the england team almost makes me want them to win. Almost.
― pandemic, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:10 (nine years ago) link
Worse the pitch better for England.
I just heard otherwise, but maybe they lied
― never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:11 (nine years ago) link
I know I overuse this word but this World Cup is an absolute humdinger so far.
Uruguay lame, played like a Premiership team underestimating the opposition completely.
Suspicious lack of goalkeepers moaning about the ball this year. Thought Joe Hart would at least have got his disclaimers in early.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
Giles given it a bit of scorn at the idea that this was a young/daring selection butsterlingSturbridgewelbeckHenderson
like they're the type of calls you'd like to see after what seems like a lifetime of squads unchanged regardless of utter failure to perform
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:13 (nine years ago) link
Joe hart hasn't been on dis claimer
i'd prefer Welbeck replaced with a footballer maybe

how welbeck is ahead of barkley is utterly beyond me
...SAID THE BLOKE TO HIS ILXOR CHUMS
― Who whom kissed? (imago), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:15 (nine years ago) link
I want those English bastards to win

Yea me too tbh
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:16 (nine years ago) link
Welbeck aside this is more or less what i'd start from that squad but i still think centre mid looks tissue-y and agree with Michael B that Milner's probably getting a raw deal
― Naamloze vennootschap (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:17 (nine years ago) link
Don't know why you people fixate on Welbeck. Rooney is the problem
― Number None, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:18 (nine years ago) link
Gerrard and Milner woulda made a nice defensive mid pairing
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:18 (nine years ago) link
There's Pirlo, obv. Always Pirlo. But I am rooting for youse Britishers tonight too (must be drunk tbh)
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:18 (nine years ago) link
i'm rooting for Pirlo tbh
― Naamloze vennootschap (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:19 (nine years ago) link
Be fine if Italy and Costa Rica go through w/Pirlo fucking 'our boys' one last time.
Probably get the boring 0-0 instead.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:21 (nine years ago) link
Which is exactly why I am rooting for England! To see your deep cynicism being torn apart by success, to see rays of sunlight, rainbows and unicorns shooting from the cavity that is your English chest!

Hope I'm wrong, loving the wc so far.

I'm rooting for England cos it's a young team, maaaybe get some nice football and the Liverpool lads. Also no Terry or Ashley Cole
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:23 (nine years ago) link
And ditto wot LBI said

Sometimes I wonder if some of those Uruguay players are too good lookimg. Like, looking like Cavani must breed some type of complacency, no?
― never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:24 (nine years ago) link
Too much golden gen dead wood about, sorry.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:25 (nine years ago) link
Canvani makes up for it with a terrible haircut and worse facial hair
― Number None, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:26 (nine years ago) link
I wouldn't usually mind about this one but, well, if Rickie comes on... my lips may wobble a wee bit.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 14 June 2014 21:27 (nine years ago) link
Fuck, I wasted a tenner on betting Spain would thrash us 4-0, everyone here thought we'd get hammered. And then suddenly: 1-5. Still can't believe it. Best tenner I every pissed away. So stupidly satisfying. All you scared bastards thinking a 0-0 would be a 'result': fuck that. This is the WC and it can happen yo.
/optimism

yeah OK welbeck is far from a daring nor even good choice but I mean capello there's a danger he'd still have Beckham there or w/e
