World Cup madness, part 1: we’ve just been out for a pre-match meal at our local Italian. Very nice it was too. Pride of place on the restaurant wall is Pirlo’s signed AC Milan shirt. An interesting (heated but good-natured) debate about the group was taking place. The upshot of this was an over-enthusiastic engerland fan genuinely betting 5 grand, against the signed shirt, that we top the group, and not Italy.

I don’t know what happens if Uraguay win it.

I normally hate football, but I’m watching this.. And I’m going to enjoy it too.. 😀

I’m amazed at how much rolling around on the floor when a player gets an inane knock, good job they don’t play rugby

You do know that’s marketing don’t you? You can’t draw the money until you’ve placed manyfold further bets…

Oh you’re joking aren’t you?!?

Really…

I’ve drawn my winnings already! 😀

Stay classy, Brazil.

😡

….keeper should have kept it out, though.

Who’d a thunk they’d have to cheat to beat Croatia

Croatia can have a lot of complaints about this game.

Cummon! Cummon! Croatia you can win! 😡

This ref might as well just bung a Brazil shirt on and have done with it!

Dirty bustards these brazilians. Hope Croatia score now

I really want Croatia to score now. So do they by the look of it.

Good of Neymar to thank the ref.

Aye, hope it’s not a sign of things to come. Ref has been poor.

I think every non-Brazilian wants Croatia to score.

…well, apart from all those far eastern betting syndicates.

Edit: Ladies & Gentleman, Croatia seem to have Bruce Grobbelaar in goal. I imagine his bank balance is doing well.

That was betterer

No complaints about that one though..

Dammit! They blood scored again! Cummon! Cummon! 😡

Jesus. Goalie should have saved that. Could have stopped all 3!

Ok, so that was a good goal.

Bah.

Well at least from what I’ve seen so far the ball is round but not too round.

So England might have a chance.

Bah!
How did the keeper not save that?

No complaints about that one though..

Really? Keeper has lost them this game, really weak on all goals.

Not really enjoying this match. Taken a big dislike to the Brazilian team.

I was getting at the fact it was goal from open play without any refereeing assistance 🙄

I think the early shot fooled the keeper. Good goal. First time I’ve ever heard the phrase “toe-ended” though (about 6 times)

The only plus side of this, is I have Neymar and Oscar in my Fantasy Football team.

….still a shocker, though.

On the basis of this one I don’t think I’ll be watching many games. Between professional fouls, simulation, silent-film acting and a dodgy ref it was painful viewing.

Harsh …you blame a keeper for not quite saving a penalty 😯
First goal hits the post and goes in as well

HARSH

weak on third i agree.

Never heard toe ender – are you new to football [ genuine Q not sarcasm]

If they keep showing those two hands with 2014 before and after every replay, I’ll have kicked the telly in before the first Engerland game! That and Andy ****ing Townsend is too much to deal with simultaneously!

Harsh …you blame a keeper for not quite saving a penalty

Yup. He went the right way, got behind it, and let it go through his hands. He’d done the hard part.

Chris Waddle agrees with me, so there.

never ever a penalty.

you went for a real penalty expert there then 😉

What do Pearce and southgate think? 😈

They like Pizza.

Croatian goalie put in a great save earlier on in the first half.

Decent start, not the best game but competitive, enjoyable start. Yon Croatia keeper is muck.

Brazil, not the best and very nervy but they will get out their group and grow in stature IMO.
