World Cup 2014

Can the protestors please burn the ITV studio?

First nil nil of the tourney up next I reckon.

Costa Rica have got both a Borges + a Bolaños starting, that is cool.

Great insight from Clive and Andy. 4-4-2 is honest and Joel Campbell is an individual. As opposed to a village or town I guess. They're not wrong.

I'm singing along to any national anthem with the lyrics to Behold the Lord High Executioner

Shit from Cavani

do you think the uruguayan players are upset they only brought youth xl size shirts with them?

no way this finishes nil nil, Uruguay to wreak havok and werre

peno?

ya those shirts r gross

Sweet pen

well if rte is bewildered in real time you fear for the ref but he's got that on-spot spit-on

Lol at the ITV people imagining a handball and ignoring the rugby tackle.

was it Roma started the clingtight shirts a few years back? I was a fuckin unhappy bunny the day spurs changed to em, its like a fuckin wonderbra across the chest on me

yeah

"only the referee knows whether he gave it for the handball"

ahaha what handball you are on crack it was two minutes ago and there have been like four replays jesus christ

Cavani's shirt is basically obscene

I like these shirts

It's like watching a bunch of super heroes play

cn someone explain to be the structure of those huge hamburger helper hands the goalies wear

like whats in there are they hard or soft or what

idk man they're just gloves

theyre fatty

Reusch's Argos Pro Duo M1 Ortho-Tec glove is a rolled expanse cut Ergonomic Support System (ESS) glove, made with technology that keeps hands in catching position.

Goalies probably just have bigger hands

http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/goalie-gloves-why-are-they-so.80338/

they're slightly padded yeah. I believe they use a similar principal in your sport of baseball

Sterling in Lallana out

in baseball they use huge mitts specifically for catching, im guessing this is against the rules in soccer but the goalies are def pushing the limits, like the goalie gloves arent just padded to blunt impact theyre also very wide to increase coverage

It's awful being a goalie. Let them have this one

I like the look of Joel Campbell, if he isn't playing top flight football next season I suspect some Championship clubs will be interested.

there are plastic splints supporting the fingers as they flex back in case of breakage iirc

but I agree they're a bit precious. GAA players wear work gloves iirc

Arsenal will take him back surely. He's no worse than Sanogo.

xp

wasnt judging just curious like what their deal is, also if theyre really that effective or more just a talisman against inevitable faliure

Have you footies heard of a nba player named Gianni's antetokounmpo

http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/visual/whatshot/102013_GiannisHands.jpg

feel like there are some nba players who cld be the best goalies ever

How much does a top flight goalie get paid at Manchester university

I think Gianni's could have been a world class goalie

giannis prob a lil to tall

hard to get low

but like some lightning quick 6'3" guard w endless arms

how's his footwork

you guys are gonna cop it so bad when I visit ILH just in time for the superbasket grand playoff

rondo

Jesus gotta score that

louis better hurry up mane

Imago what was the phrase you discovered you could post in any sports thread and have it be relevant

he's got really lovely hands

game needs a rocket up its arse
