see how Brazil look in the next game. But they were pretty average last night.sweepy - Member
Ive never seen a football game in my puff and thats not likely to be changing, But Ive got Brazil in the sweep. What are my chances?
Brazil = an average team with a few world class players.
though I do think van persie fouled casillas, he made not attempt to play the ball and just jumped into him.
My kids love having dual nationality, at least their Dutch side gives them some kind of chance of winning something in football!
Since I heard Rio Ferdinand called 'bacon lips' I can't help laughing every time I see him!
Brazil = an average team with a few world class players.
So are the Dutch to be fair! Couple of journeyman Premier League pros (Vlaar and de Guzman) alongside Robben and RVP. Spain fell to pieces!
probably was a foul. But balanced out by Spain's dodgy penalty so eachy peachy!though I do think van persie fouled casillas, he made not attempt to play the ball and just jumped into him.
I dunno really...felt the penalty was soft, but I'll go with the panel on them. They reckoned it was a penalty and that Casillas was fouled...
..."in today's game..."
Hmmm
though the spanish were all over the place second half, ragged or what!
Meh... Castillas was no more trying to get the ball than RVP was, he'd massively misjudged and flailed in the hope that he'd get a free kick. Usually it works too.
Not looking good for the socceroos...
never was tbh
They are not getting out of this group.
or are they...
... well no, probably not but still.
i did wonder about editing but they are still out
ok ok, so the dutch have set the bar high, but its going the right way at half time......
/punditry
and sorry to dumb futher mucker who missed the match earlier on my advice.

Brasil have a very good chance indeed as long as they can keep their star player fit - the ref.

its alright Jamie, its like that outside too
couple of women commented that the conversation in the pub kept returning to footy - had to point out that it might stay that way for a month.
of course it might go very quiet after tonight.
And so to the England match.....
#gulps#
I'll kick off the predictions.
What would be nice - England 3-2 Italy
What will happen - England 2-3 Italy
my predictions have been wildly inaccurate if im homest (see p4 or 5)
so England 0 - Italy 1
#crossesfingers #nervous #sick
I reckon a draw is on the cards. I don't think it'll be much fun to watch.
Italy 4 - 0 England
They will blame the Amozon rainforest and the insects ...
😆

I do hope not....but then I have been burned before.
My prediction:
We know we'll start without our impact subs so will play for an hour lose a goal , take off lampard and Rooney, bring on Barkley and Sterling and win 2-1.
Hold on lads, Colombia v Greece is still on. Quite entertaining in parts.
its only on with the sound down.
think when i put ITV on at 0145 my missus will have bailled
Predictions - Sterling red card for second bookable offence at 53:27. Young man slaughtered in national press along with Woy. But becomes the star in 2018. You heard it here first.
My heart says England 2 - Italy 1
My head says - England 1 - Italy 1
My pessimistic head says - England 1 - Italy 3
I'm worried that when the temperature & humidity kicks in Italy will pass us out of the game...
does this ultra strict 10 yard wall and these shaving foam lines work against the free kick taker ? In the past I'm sure the ref used to pace out 11-12 yards knowing the defenders would steal a bit back. The strict ones seam to be much closer than they ever used to be or is it just my imagination.
Just finished watching Colombia/Greece.
Greek sister-in-law is very unhappy.
Luckily, this is one situation where the crockery is safe.
3 - 1 to Engerland. Easy.
Just saw the England gallery heroes montage on BBC. Goosebumps... silly me
Ref called a correct decision shocker! 😆
Sky Sources: England team - Hart, Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines, Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling, Welbeck, Rooney, Sturridge
Looks like a decent team.
I was hoping when they got the penalty that I wax finally going to see Forlan score!
Saw a good documentary about the 78 World Cup this morning. I like 70's documentaries, good narrative and plenty of close up slow motion action.
Ok - everyone put your lucky pants on!!!
Nothing in the first half of Uraguay v Costa Rica to frighten us.
That England line up was in the Telegraph this morning. Safe selection and keeps our impact subs on the bench for the back end of the game. Will be very hot so need to plan for tiring legs.
I think he should've started with lllllannnna, as he keeps the ball better then bought on sterling later when the heat has sapped the energy from the players to score a giggsesque goal against them...
But I know nothing...
Nothing to worry about from these then?
Fing hell 2 1 Costa Rica, got to be good for england?
Time for Suarez
