costa rica ended england's chances

Mark, the other teams could still be sent home for using doping, England could still go through.

thanks, pandemic and you other guys. Shutting up now.
xpost and you

All the second round games will be 0-0 and penalty.
― Frederik B, Friday, 20 June 2014 20:59 (twelve years ago)
One or both of Uruguay and Italy has to get points so it's impossible for England to catch them both.

ESPN had a nice feature on Chucho Benitez last night that made me feel a lil' bad for Ecuador, so here's to them not getting hacked to death by Honduras.

Here's rooting for a 5-6 result.

5/2 on any player to be sent off is hugely tempting.

Want to see if Montero's as good as he was in the first game.

5 secs and the first foul

Carlo Costly slides off pitch into Honduran substitute, inflicting the game's 17th right-buttock injury so far.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:24 (twelve years ago)
Looking at the lineup it's crazy to me how many of the Honduran players play or have played in MLS.
Espinoza and Bernardez guilty of tons of egregious tackles between just the two of them.
― dan m, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:25 (twelve years ago)
If I were to make a fantasy XI of players from the tournament so far, I think I'd have to have Bernardez at centre-back, just because. That header was so wonderfully unmajestic; the Colback of headers, if you will.
(I'd probably partner him with, oh, Djourou)
Ecuador player not even pretending to look at anything other than the Honduran player's foot on that tackle there.

Loving this match.

Quality opportunism from Valencia (E), there. Expect Hull City's antennae are twitching.

very steve bruce for sure

Between this and FR-CH, 'shitty defending' having a pretty great comeback as main reason for increased no of goals this WC...

Paredes actually tapping out after being fouled there, marvellous.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:40 (twelve years ago)
FFFFFFF yes Bernardez definitely my favourite.

wait is there a player named "costly"?
― gbx, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:48 (twelve years ago)
gbx, it's pretty crazy if one sided. some stunning play as well.
― pandemic, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:48 (twelve years ago)
yes, costly he scoredxp
― pandemic, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:49 (twelve years ago)
super-xp - there are goals, plus there's never a bad time for a bit of Valbuena.
And now Bernardez doing the angriest job of telling his teammates to lay off the referee in the history of football. He is the best.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:49 (twelve years ago)
I caught some bits, and they were great, but dumb old work interfered
― gbx, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:50 (twelve years ago)
Costly has also been chewing gum for the whole of the first half. And he ran into a goalpost at one point.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 22:50 (twelve years ago)
I think Switzerland may be genuinely afraid when they play this Honduras team.
