Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

I just want one match, where the ref loses it and squirts his can of shaving foam in someone’s face

I really hope that isn’t a euphemism

I just want to see the ref squirt his can of shaving foam in a Brazilian.

Better? 😉

EDIT: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

That’s some absolute world class goalkeeping by the legendary ex-liverpool keeper charles itandje.

Did they have to sedate him to get him on that plane fool?

What a volley 😯

I know he’s called hulk but someone has been on the pies!

When Porto played Manchester city a couple of years back, Porto complained about the city chants of “Hulk you’re not incredible”

Loving this Brazil game.

This game badly needs a Croatia goal

Cummon Cameroon! Cummon! You can beat Brazil. 😮

Edit: Gooooooaaaaaallll! Cameroon!

Hahahhaahahahahahaha

Boosh! nice work Cameroon!

Potentially, best game so far! 😉

I wouldn’t go that far, B/N.

Watching the Croatia – Mexico game on ITV 4 makes me realise how much better football is HD

Innit!

I thought I had ITV4HD on my basic Virgin package, but apparently not. The game looks like shit.

God forbid I ever see a 4k display.

Oh, and Goooooooooooal.

Cummon! Cummon! You can do better Cameroon. Use your head. 😡

Yes odd that – i have virgin media too and thought the ITV4 picture was virtually unwatchable in SD.

I will enjoy watching En-ger-land vs Costa Rica tomorrow … 😆

Yes odd that – i have virgin media too and thought the ITV4 picture was virtually unwatchable in SD.

The picture was so poor, and I have been drinking, that I rang Virgin. Apparently, ITV HD channels are only ‘free’ on the XL TV package.

Seems odd, and it seems the classy thing to do would have ITV4 HD free to air while the WC is on, but **** ’em. Even though, it seems all the games I want to watch are on ITV4.

*shakes fist*

I took my glasses off and then the picture was better.

Yeah have a standard def tv in the kitchen and the picture was appaling on ITV, so go in t’other room to watch in HD….so much better! Thought Cameroon had a chance last night, but forgot they don’t actually have a defence!

Anyway to sadly sum up the OP already! :

ts time to start the discussions on Brazil ’14. So many questions:

Does anyone think England will progress out of the groups? No

Will the home team cruise to victory? Almost certainly not

Will Shrek manage his first goal in a tournament since 1927? Yes!

Will Woy pick youth over experience? Yes….ish!

Will Suarez recover from surgery to face England? 🙁

So many questions, but who has the answers?? Me!

Just watching the 10 mine catch up on iPlayer, I think it’s a better picture than itv4…

Difficult to predict tonights score, but I’m going for a 2-1 win for Engerland! (fool!)

A few conflicting emotions what with prefering Costa Rica to qualify over Italy……hmmm 😕

I hope England get battered. Might send a message to the FA.

Hmm.. Tonight.. Footie or bike ride?

Hmm.. Tonight.. Footie or bike ride?

Plenty of time to do both…..or record and watch on your return.

I have the same quandary!

Hmm.. Tonight.. Footie or bike ride?

World Cup, and this one is probably the best in living memory, comes every 4 years.

True, but it’s England, and how good is the match going to be..?

How soon do the matches appear on iPlayer/ITV on demand?

Ride after. I’ve only watched 15 mins live of any England game (last bit of Uruguay) and I don’t think I’ve missed much. That being said this match could be a good one, England being adventurous vs top team in the group looking for the win, could be a lot of goals, eg 3-2 etc.

For the first time in a long time (I believe) the bookies will be cheering England. Apparently the bulk of the money is on CR tonight. Unpatriotic or merely realistic and world-weary?!?

Ride – you can watch TV any time.

Ride – you can watch TV any time.

Err, surely that should be ‘watch the England match live because you can only possibly do that once. You can *ride* anytime’.

True, but it’s England, and how good is the match going to be..?

Oh, I’m not watching England. Italy v Uruguay for me 😀

Italy Uruguay for me too, think I want Uruguay to win…. I think.

…although, it does mean I have to watch it in 1st-world-problem-o-vision standard def.

Oh no…. I might have to watch Costa Rica…

Pretty amazing that we could see Italy, Spain and England all out at the group stage. On that basis I have to go for Uruguay and agree that it’s the match of the day.

I put a tenner on CR to win the whole deal, seemed reasonable at 88/1.

Folks,

Time to predict the match between Costa Rica vs Multi-million £££ En-ger-land.

My prediction: Costa Rica 3 – 0 En-ger-land

Good to hear the Italians & Uruguayans belting out their anthems, the English always look scared…

There was a quick shot there of prince harry, could someone with skills PLEASE sway out Gee for Harry & put in Ratboy…

Italy v Uruguay for me

That should be a heck of a match, all to play for there…
