THE World Cup Matches Thread – SPOILER ALERT

Yeeah 🙂

Sorry, darcy?

Sorry, darcy?

😳
🙂

Goooal 😆 my forecast on a previous thread but after DD set this one up don't want to ruin anyones later enjoyment!

Shame.. still – a point is in the offing at least.

Only fair I think.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

EDIT: Aaaaaaah!

sharp intake of breath, that was soooooo close

Blimey!

How anyone can say footie is boring I don't know!!!

Feels more like a quarter final, this!

Loving this game.. end to end stuff just like a game of ISS Pro! Actually quite like the horns tbh, tho will start getting hornet fear soon 😀

1-1 Good game but what France want really :/

Here we go again.

Go go Uruguay, make the cheating Frenchies cry.

Me? Bitter? Never… 🙂

Fighting a lone battle tonight 🙁

Henry, the cheating bastard is on. He'll probably go and make my night by scoring now.

Poor showing by Greece…the team seeded by FIFA for the European group play-offs 🙄

But full marks to South Korea,

I thought they played well and deserved the win, biggest surprise to me was that they did not score more ….

Great stuff, enjoying this tournament already 8)

What I really want now is for Nigeria to stuff the Argies – Come on you Super Eagles.

Well yesterday didn't really get off to a good start for me. I sat down at a bar to watch France Uraguay and some bloke clocked my accent asking for a beer. He turned around, and asked if I was supporting France. I said not, and that I was English. I then proceeded to explain at length how I was supporting Uruguay for this match since France really cheated against Ireland, and how Brits will often support other British teams. I said France were a terrible team and just how awful they were.

He then proceeded to point out that he wasn't Brazilian as I had thought but French 😳

But he was a nice enough chap, and there with another French lass who was a nurse, and as he asked me to join them, I did an about face, and with a great deal of digging ended up supporting France and enjoying the game. Allez les Bleus!

Allez les Bleus!

boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

+1 🙂

Looking forward to seeing Nigeria v Argentina. Hope it's a belter though I suspect Nigeria will be very cagey.

GO GO SUPER EAGLES …

Now the matches have started it all seems real at last and i'm loving it 🙂

Shocking defence from Eagles 🙁

Now thats the kinda start we need BOSH! from a full back

Thought the French were disappointing last night. Shame really as they're one of the teams that often really contributes to a great World Cup. There's chance for them to improve but it looks like they're more likely to implode through petty squabbling.

I was just wondering if you guys are getting the same video footage as we are. This being Brazil, I can only but think we are getting close-up footage of the crowd, and certain individuals in the crowd, from a Brazilian cameraman 😯 None of the this BBC nonsense with punters in a multimillion pound specially built studio – just voiceovers and video footage 🙂

Another game grinding to a close. Really haven't seen anything to impress so far.

EDIT: Man of the match was Nigerian keeper for me.

The thing that stands out about this world cup so far is how good the referees have been.

Agreed…the decisions have been pretty much spot on.

Caught one match so far. The bloody French one. D'oh! Wedding reception for one of the missus' colleagues tonight. D'OH!!!

Mind you I have received some very rash promises in return for my loyalty.
