World Cup 2014

Don't know why you people fixate on Welbeck. Rooney is the problem

Gerrard and Milner woulda made a nice defensive mid pairing

There's Pirlo, obv. Always Pirlo. But I am rooting for youse Britishers tonight too (must be drunk tbh)

i'm rooting for Pirlo tbh

Be fine if Italy and Costa Rica go through w/Pirlo fucking 'our boys' one last time.

Probably get the boring 0-0 instead.

Which is exactly why I am rooting for England! To see your deep cynicism being torn apart by success, to see rays of sunlight, rainbows and unicorns shooting from the cavity that is your English chest!

Xp

and not xp

Hope I'm wrong, loving the wc so far.

I'm rooting for England cos it's a young team, maaaybe get some nice football and the Liverpool lads. Also no Terry or Ashley Cole

And ditto wot LBI said

Sometimes I wonder if some of those Uruguay players are too good lookimg. Like, looking like Cavani must breed some type of complacency, no?

Too much golden gen dead wood about, sorry.

Canvani makes up for it with a terrible haircut and worse facial hair

I wouldn't usually mind about this one but, well, if Rickie comes on... my lips may wobble a wee bit.

Fuck, I wasted a tenner on betting Spain would thrash us 4-0, everyone here thought we'd get hammered. And then suddenly: 1-5. Still can't believe it. Best tenner I every pissed away. So stupidly satisfying. All you scared bastards thinking a 0-0 would be a 'result': fuck that. This is the WC and it can happen yo.

/optimism

yeah OK welbeck is far from a daring nor even good choice but I mean capello there's a danger he'd still have Beckham there or w/e

His whole look is out of a romance novel cover

Ooh, that red stripe down the back of the training top was not designed to appear over the shorts... eep. Shades of Stevenage's wedgie-kit from two or three seasons ago.

Robben's rush yesterday, outpacing Ramos, makes him the fastest football player ever recorded on the pitch, with 37 km/h. Previous record was held by Walcott (35.7 km/h). Though I'm not sure if Bale was taken into account in these stats.

or Kevin Kilbane

need a confirmed top ten stat

XP lol

there was some list going around a while back that claimed Valencia was the fastest player in the world. Bale was 2nd

GURD SURF THE QUERN!

Unsure if the Italy cagoules are some elaborate psyching-out tactic or just a legit bad idea.

plz more graphs itt

quinny sez he roomed with him internationals and first time round Kilbane threw his bag on the good bed (no idea tbh) and quinny, thinking this'll be a great laugh now, said you young rapscallion I'm the senior player here clear it out and lo and behold Kilbane shamefacedly apologises and does so, this episode being a major enough event to have taken up a page of quinny's biography impressed upon me that very few ppl have ever listened to niall Quinn.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

Me irl

arsenal fans were you tubing a clip of ryo or ryu something a few years back claiming it showed him running at idk 42kmh or something but rly now

pirlo and his vineyard only rivalled by retired batistuta in his incredible drug lord palace and grounds back home

Aubameyang is faster than Bolt iirc

Usain Bolt's top speed has been 43 km/h, so yeah. Myachi was fast, but not that fast.

pirlo looking v much like our lord and savior p sure his vineyard is just a water tank imo

arm crossing intros killin me every time

oh shit gabriel paletta
