Yeah c’mon Septics, take out the overpaid prem boys!

Januzaj must be kicking himself that he chose Belgium over us. He could have been on a nice holiday by now.

De Bruyne has been good but that cross to Kompany was poor.

…it’s coming.

…it’s coming.

Hooray! Another late night!!

perhaps the england team should be there watching, rather than on holiday

He’s lucky that was offside.

Edit: Although he was actually on. So that would have been interesting.

Cummon! Cummon! DAAAAMMMIIIIITTT!

😯

how did you miss that!!!

I was about to say that Wandalowasaskiiki has been poor since he came on. Then I wasn’t. Then I was.

This isn’t about England per se, but everyone else. USA have players of the quality of a Stoke full back, and Fulham’s second best player. Algeria have players who weren’t able to get a regular game for Watford. Nigeria have players who were swapped for Kenwyne Jones. FFS, why can they achieve when we can’t?

That quote about about the total being greater than the sum of all parts springs to mind!

OMG what a miss!!!!

C’mon ‘Murica!

Can’t believe they stick with fellaini, I guess it must be a case of better the duvel you know.

US and A play quite like England. Belgiums movement is quite impressive.

England have a load of average players that dont move.

Howard has been immense!! If this goes to penalties, I know who my money’s on

How the hell this match is still nil nil though….? 😯

US and A play quite like England.

Really? USA has defended like lions.

Surely lions attack not defend?

Hold on I have one
Fellani is so bad he could not even play for England
How often do i need to mention england when discussing other games?

Oh dear now we’ve got to listen to wot Rio finks!

Eh? They’re attitude is as different from England as is physically possible. They’re rock solid at the back. Organised. Committed. England’s defence is a shambles!!!

on the plus side we can mock another person with a speech impediment so it is not all bad

And we’re off. Another night beyond my bedtime. 😐

Oh dear now we’ve got to listen to wot Rio finks sez!

FVFY

USA has defended like lions.

Now I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to the finer points of football, but I’m not sure about this. Sure, they were brave and committed and great at clearing balls off the line, but for that to be necessary they let the Belgians slice them to pieces. Almost every break resulted in a quality shot, requiring a dramatic save or goal line clearance.

Surely that means the defence is rubbish?

ahhhhhh

surprised Chelsea didn’t stick with De Bruyne 😕

why couldnt he have done that 2 minutes earlier..i couldve had an early night 🙂

I dunno about the players, but I’M knackered. Still, at least penalties look unlikely.

Bugger. I just left the pub to walk home and they score. It was clear they had as the noise all around was incredible

Bloody waffles 😡

i have to say its probably the first game in a while where the play has been quite fair.. several times I thought the players couldve gone down in the box for a penalty but stayed on their feet.

Visions of robben rolling about or excessive timewasting has stangely been missing which can only be a good thing.

The end of all these games has the feel of the last 2 rounds of a boxing match. The feet won’t move properly, there’s no attempt to get away, it’s just a case of standing in the middle and throwing punches and hoping to connect.

What a world cup this is.

Time for another Jones super goal!

That’s that.

Bum!

I love waffles..why cant they score when 1 on 1?

Its all over now.. good nite ..same again on friday 🙂

Time to change those flight jurgey baby 🙂

Not drinking anymore Stella.

Did anybody go for that accumulator for all the group winners to with their games?

Its all over now.. good nite ..same again on thursday

Friday.
