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.

I think Switzerland may be genuinely afraid when they play this Honduras team.

Honduras still have a chance if they win?
― you can't put your arms around a lamprey (brownie), Friday, 20 June 2014 22:57 (twelve years ago)
Win for Honduras, then they've got a winner-take all game against Switzerland next. If Ecuador win, then they need to either beat France and hope Switzerland don't beat Honduras, or draw with France and hope Honduras beat Switzerland.
Loss for either side means they need to win their next game and hope some concoction of goal difference goes their way.
Draw and roughly the same thing. I think.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:02 (twelve years ago)
Basically: no-one's out at this stage.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:06 (twelve years ago)
thank you
― you can't put your arms around a lamprey (brownie), Friday, 20 June 2014 23:07 (twelve years ago)
But a Honduras win would put France through to the last 16.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:09 (twelve years ago)
(as would a draw)

pen?

Almost find him staying on his feet there as infuriating as a player going down when they haven't been touched.

Edder Valencia again!

EDWIN VALENCIA TOP SCORER

ayovi is p handy with those outswinging set-pieces
― ogmor, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:25 (twelve years ago)
yup i think the goal vs Switzerland was almost identical
― pandemic, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:26 (twelve years ago)
Enner Valencia now tied at the top of the Golden Boot race.
It's a pity the best either of these sides could hope for is getting knocked out by Argentina, cos I'd love to see them take on the USA, or Costa Rica, or Chile...
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:26 (twelve years ago)
Been hearing it as Edder the whole time. Obv sounded correct to my natural footballing brain.

ecuador keeper can't figure out which part of his body hurts

that sui-fra game was off the chain for my fantasy football score & I'm enjoying my brief moment in the sun hovering just outside the top 1000 until germany play tmw
― ogmor, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:29 (twelve years ago)
(n.b. to Hull & Wigan scouts - if you could see your way to bringing Boniek Garcia across too, that'd be great, cos he's been lots of fun this evening too. Big-hearted midfield scurrier, galloping all over the joint - he'd be a lovely addition, really)
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:30 (twelve years ago)
Big H logo on the Honduran shirts is kinda 60s retro, which is fitting cos they play like a team from the 60s
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Friday, 20 June 2014 23:30 (twelve years ago)
what's the most bookings so far? it's still too early for a meltdown brawl, but I'm looking forward to the prospect
― ogmor, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:33 (twelve years ago)
shamefully bad free kick
― pandemic, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:34 (twelve years ago)
Pitch cutting up rather badly too.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:35 (twelve years ago)
cos there's been a billion slide tackles on it
― pandemic, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:36 (twelve years ago)
Yeah, if Martinez is on for his set pieces, then the rest of the Honduras side must really be quite awful at them.
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:36 (twelve years ago)
if the pitch was astroturf it would be cut up after this

REFEREE FALLS OVER - 5 POINTS
― William Bloody Swygart, Friday, 20 June 2014 23:38 (twelve years ago)
seriously I'll have seen everything there is to see by the end of the group stage, barely worth watching the knockout

<3 figueroa for shooting

Valencia not getting up until he's absolutely sure Bernardez has gone away.
