World Cup 2014

Montero has been so dangerous

nm it appears I'm still in the league, mcdonalds links just be fucked up.

SV that might be the greatest possible explanation, I hope it's true. he has a new wife now!

lichtsteiner getting fwd was one of v few semi-promising bits of build up from switzerland. shaqiri has been below par but still hold out hope he's warming up. drmic & stocker offered v little

did it defo come off a swiss player?

should have been a goal. another goal wrongly chalked off

YES

what an end! poor ecuador

That was ridiculous.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Sore one for Ecuador :(

end to end etc

great tackle great advantage

amazing

This World Cup man:)

Finished with a plum.

p sure we got a "finished with a plum" there

lol xp

Great way for this to end. Still no draws in group play!

possibly the best advantage I've ever seen

Ha, yep.

I hope the Ecuador player still had to take a booking for the team despite cocking it up.

ha

what a corker

players immediately getting up after fouls & scoring/setting up a goal is mb the best thing in football

^^^ it works against the flopping narrative that's for sure

This positive reaction to England's performance seems to have convinced many of the players they did nothing wrong.

oh shaddup about england

honduras gonna bring the powerviolence (pls)

I can only react to what itv feeds me.

The introduction of pundits Phil Neville and Clarke Carlisle to this tournament has helped me to appreciate the charisma and insight of Andy Townsend.

lmao they just showed a shot of french fans walking down the street wearing berets and brandishing baguettes

phil neville may sound like a particularly harried gunpoint captive but the stuff he says is infinitely sharper than confirmed ultramoron townsend

this game coming up is the most likely in the entire tournament to produce massing-on-caniggia heroic brutality

maybe

massing-on-caniggia heroic brutality

TMI

I am unable to judge what Neville says because after two minutes of his delivery I find myself unable to hear him. Hypnotic dullness.

What's the mood like in the France camp at the moment? I suppose another mass hissy fit is too much to hope for?

they're still a bit shaken up by the drone attack

They were spectacular against Jamaica. Won eight nil without breaking sweat. Not great opposition but not that much worse than Honduras.

No Marseilles?

and kicking off early?

Apparently Valbeuna's nickname in France is "le petit velo".

Comme ta mere.

I dream of a future where Hondurans may freely smash the kneecaps of their French oppressors

My word the French shirts are hella sharp.

I fell asleep and missed the Swiss winning goal!

France home and Honduras home are possibly the two best kits of the tournament (although I also like Australia's home); pity they're both blue

I already awarded them best kit for those collars

It's also become clear in these past couple games that the whistling in the England match wasn't (just) cos it was England, but more cos the Brazilian crowds don't seem to like it when defenders pass to each other.

Ha Savage pwned by Henry

Robbie Savage-

"The key for Honduras is to give France a hard time. When I played against Thierry Henry, we used to go out there, be strong and be physical. We were like wasps. We didn't give them a moment to settle. You hated playing that sort of team, didn't you, Thierry?"

Thierry Henry's response: "We managed."

so much schadenfreude wrt france over the years I might be burnt out cuz I want them to do well

I like all their players bar debuchy i think

lol how long have the refs been spray painting the ground in front of ppl that's funny
