Me too!

I've been saying all along we won't win a group match (sure, that's not exactly the hardest prediction to arrive at ).

All I can say is, "basura".

Even when they are not at their best, they are poles apart from our lot.
I agree.

Even if they give Costa Rica a bleddy hard game and not win, I will believe that there's some life left in our team for future.

I want our team to fall all over and over one another- like others do. I want them to be absolutely mental about wanting to keep that football glued and secure to their feet and their feet only. I want them to just forget about everything and just go for it.

I really hope they do it with terrific team spirit, which I think lacks very badly among our players. They are individually alright for their clubs and with their club teams, but they seem to lack spirit when it comes to playing for their nation. It needs sorting.

I may not hope anything tomorrow, but I do hope so for future international participation.

TH, you should apply to the BBC for a pundit job on MOTD (or MOTD2).

That way you could replace the insufferable Lawro.

Ha ha. Someone in the crowd had a Rooney mascot. It was a little Shrek toy in a little England jersey.
The underhand compliment.

Suarez later told reporters he thought he saw a chip on Chiellini's shoulder.

If it turns out that he has bitten again, for the third time, he deserves to be banned sine die.

A filthy animal trait.

What's the betting FIFA cover up until the World Cup is over?

All ready for the match, bring your daughters ( and sons) to the slaughter


Haha, I thought it was on at our 8pm.


Oh well. There's always next time or the time after

I've just finished catching up with the recording. Found it quite boring. IMO the pair of new kids i.e. Sturridge and Sterling are the only 'rabbit run' promises for the future, but give them a few months and they'll also go rigid. At the moment they look as if they belong to some better team than their own. Rooney was ok since he came in, but he couldn't inject any excitement either. Lampard tried from the start, but the other ones always came in his way to block him. Their goal keeper's socks were far too high, I thought. He looked like a Peter Pan in black.

Commentators kept breaking the news about URU Vs. Italy excitements. I wish I had recorded that now.

I'm sure Chiellini now feels he has to shoulder some of the blame for Italy's loss. Will Suarez get a ban? I'm sure it's something he's chewing on while he awaits FIFA's decision.

Unlikely.

Hushed up until the WC is over, dealt with by a token international ban, served in friendlies.

Had he played for a UK lower League team, he'd be finished now.

To be fair, to be such a good footballer he has to be a bit abnormal. Ok, he bites people. But he's good at his game as well. Inside every genius hides a mental.
