World Cup 2014

honduras gonna bring the powerviolence (pls)

I can only react to what itv feeds me.

The introduction of pundits Phil Neville and Clarke Carlisle to this tournament has helped me to appreciate the charisma and insight of Andy Townsend.

lmao they just showed a shot of french fans walking down the street wearing berets and brandishing baguettes

phil neville may sound like a particularly harried gunpoint captive but the stuff he says is infinitely sharper than confirmed ultramoron townsend

this game coming up is the most likely in the entire tournament to produce massing-on-caniggia heroic brutality

maybe

massing-on-caniggia heroic brutality

TMI

I am unable to judge what Neville says because after two minutes of his delivery I find myself unable to hear him. Hypnotic dullness.

What's the mood like in the France camp at the moment? I suppose another mass hissy fit is too much to hope for?

they're still a bit shaken up by the drone attack

They were spectacular against Jamaica. Won eight nil without breaking sweat. Not great opposition but not that much worse than Honduras.

No Marseilles?

and kicking off early?

Apparently Valbeuna's nickname in France is "le petit velo".

Comme ta mere.

I dream of a future where Hondurans may freely smash the kneecaps of their French oppressors

My word the French shirts are hella sharp.

I fell asleep and missed the Swiss winning goal!

France home and Honduras home are possibly the two best kits of the tournament (although I also like Australia's home); pity they're both blue

I already awarded them best kit for those collars

It's also become clear in these past couple games that the whistling in the England match wasn't (just) cos it was England, but more cos the Brazilian crowds don't seem to like it when defenders pass to each other.

Ha Savage pwned by Henry

Robbie Savage-

"The key for Honduras is to give France a hard time. When I played against Thierry Henry, we used to go out there, be strong and be physical. We were like wasps. We didn't give them a moment to settle. You hated playing that sort of team, didn't you, Thierry?"

Thierry Henry's response: "We managed."

so much schadenfreude wrt france over the years I might be burnt out cuz I want them to do well

I like all their players bar debuchy i think

lol how long have the refs been spray painting the ground in front of ppl that's funny

they are an amiable bunch. really proud of pogba for taking his WC haircut responsibilities seriously, there is no way that barnet is being beaten

the le main of frog henry incident makes me anti-french 4 life, c'mon Honduras.

how is that a foul he kicked the ball that ref is dumb

ooh

french shirts are so boss kinda disappointing that a couple of players aren't going with the yellow boots like the majority of the team, nice with the red shirts and white collar.

Arg so stressed out, edge of my seat for the next 70mn

France tops maybe a bit close to rugby styling for my tastes, they're the coolest looking team so far though, no doubt.

Aesthetically my other favourites are chile.

Are the goals a bit lower than usual?

ah fuck
pogba the biggest kid on the playground
valbuena excellent

Honduras resorting to some dodgy diving here. Lets not ruin the game eh lads

lol jibe

all about the French socks. a really decadent shade of red

that pass from griezmann

utterly fucking beautiful that play

France looking rather impressive at the moment, no? Fuck of a ball from Griezmann there, Valbuena's irresistible, Pogba's got the run of the park... still ain't scored yet, mind.

Keown "look at how well he gets up, for such a young man"

red

should have given a free kick earlier tho

Barely made contact

phew glad he didnt go there

Yellow for pogba, red for palacios there imo.

another crackin game

palacios obv lucky not to see red there imo

XP otm

that could have been bad. fucking honduras. Hope France thrash the shit out them these now
