If i had to play England, i'd aggressively foul their attack, run the midfield to exhaustion as they constantly are covering for terrible defence and then look to score on the quick breaks.

that was a v nice goal
― gbx, Thursday, 19 June 2014 19:40 (twelve years ago)
corners have been so bad, like genuinely below professional standard

I've missed most of this tbh, the ITV player is apparently creaking under the bandwidth, crashing every 5 or 6 seconds. Tried loading up a few streams, not a one of them was working properly. Not that arsed, still getting that familiar feeling. Fuckin England man.

gerrard is such a miserable liability. can he not just get hit by a bus or something
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 19 June 2014 19:48 (twelve years ago)
Absolute disgrace from Johnson fir the goal
― Blandford Forum, Thursday, 19 June 2014 19:54 (twelve years ago)
England maybe the thickest team at the World Cup
― Blandford Forum, Thursday, 19 June 2014 19:55 (twelve years ago)
ITV player is such garbage. Should have known Suarez would be the difference and banged a ton on him to be first/last goalscorer, it was never going to be any other outcome.

Surely the "channel in front of the back four" is the pitch.
― tsrobodo, Thursday, 19 June 2014 19:56 (twelve years ago)
Jones on in midfield imo. It's just crazy enough to work
― Number None, Thursday, 19 June 2014 19:58 (twelve years ago)
Ross Barkley tho...not like anyone's got any other ideas
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:01 (twelve years ago)
come on, 11 attackers, go for it, it's life or death here
― StanM, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:03 (twelve years ago)
Rooney still a dissonant in this team. Like the ugly guy in a group of handsome men: every passer by having their eyes glued on the ugly guy. England would be so much better if they'd replace him with some anonymous guy playing for the team.

Hart, you're a shouty yob but that was a good save, from that Suarez corner.
― StanM, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:06 (twelve years ago)
been reduced to listening to the 5 live commentary on this, it's actually quite a lot more enjoyable so far
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:10 (twelve years ago)
that's a given!
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:11 (twelve years ago)
Townsend *just* about managed to stop himself from saying that if anything the problem was that Rooney hit it too well
― Turtleneck Work Solutions (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:11 (twelve years ago)
It should have been URU 3 - 2 ENG by now. Way too many misses.
― StanM, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:12 (twelve years ago)
xp that was his exact sentiment wasn't it?
― Kiss Screaming Seagull Her Seagull Her (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:13 (twelve years ago)
looks a worse miss with every replay too
Zlatan just taking it all in...
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:14 (twelve years ago)
Zlatan the first ever fan close-up who doesn't start yelling and pointing when he sees himself on the big screen
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:14 (twelve years ago)
Lol

Hey he knows who he is.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:16 (twelve years ago)
England needs to hire Klinsmann away from the USA just so he can leave Rooney out of the 23
― dan m, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:16 (twelve years ago)
Good god...
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:17 (twelve years ago)
fucking hell what's happened here
― Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:17 (twelve years ago)
Concussion??
― 龜, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:17 (twelve years ago)
thought he was dead for a second

Priceless the way he demanded to go back in. Not too sure if that's wise though tbh
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:19 (twelve years ago)
can't find a way to keep sterling in there, huh
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:21 (twelve years ago)
For a sickening moment so did I. Is it wrong that I then found myself thinking 'shit, what happens if the match is abandoned?'?
― Turtleneck Work Solutions (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:23 (twelve years ago)
almost certainly concussed, playing AMA imo
― gbx, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:25 (twelve years ago)
Jason Bent: I've waited years for England to play like Spain, now we are.

Houellebecq out
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:26 (twelve years ago)
Gbx: that's my bet, yes.
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:27 (twelve years ago)
Rooney you plonker.
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:28 (twelve years ago)
Baines is waste
― Blandford Forum, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:29 (twelve years ago)
getting v. fucking pissed off about this "it's not all over if we lose tonight lads!" bollox. Would almost be worth Uruguay adding a few more just to get it over with. Just stick a fucking bullet between the eyes, there's no point at all if they're gonna play like this
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:30 (twelve years ago)
Baines should be in a solicitors office manning the photocopy machine
― 龜, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:30 (twelve years ago)
looooooool Rooney of all fuckin ppl
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)
Oh no...
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)
that's a legit well worked goal
― Kiss Screaming Seagull Her Seagull Her (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)
flippin heck
― Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)
Could hardly miss that one.
― Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)
Studge / Johnson link-up was great.
― Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:32 (twelve years ago)
fuck uruguay tbh, can't believe they tried to win this 1-0
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 19 June 2014 20:32 (twelve years ago)
Can see England winning this now tbh
