fugtifino Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 The story so far.... First, a quite brilliant synopsis of what it's all about by John Oliver: Tonight, who'dathunk Spain bottom of Group B already? Previously, a soft win for the host nation: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jun/12/neymar-makes-mark-brazil-croatia-world-cup The wonderful Marina Hyde explains how many of us feel about all of this: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jun/13/england-v-italy-conscious-uncoupling-world-cup Oh, and: 1. Germany 2. Heroic exit at quarter finals 3. Holland (even if they do nothing else after tonight) Tomorrow, it's us. You've got to have some hope, haven't you?

Robbo Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Spain are blaming their loss last night on the weather. Apparently it was 2 Chile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well that was a short World Cup. No idea why Sterling was taken off, if anyone should have been replaced it was Gerrard, who played as if he had lead in his boots and who's mistakes were directly responsible for Uruguay's 2 goals. It caps a bad year for Gerrard. The only World class players were Suarez and Cavani, Rooney tried hard but not good enough. Lallana looked ok for the time he was on. Waiting for a miracle now.

Robbo Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Well the miracle didn't happen, so it's beat Costa Rica or go home totally humiliated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Would it be an idea to reinstate home internationals ? We used to win some of them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The final insult has come from the manager of Costa Rica who today (Tuesday) intends to try his 'fringe' players against the weakest side in the group. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Costa Rica 0-0 England. Well that was riveting - not. And Suarez up to his old tricks again in the Italy - Uruguay match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Had to laufgh today when I heard a radfio "pundit" say that england had played some of the best football ever this world cup as compared to previous world cups. I think he was even serious about it. if so I wonder if he was watching the england games or if he had been watching the kids playing at rylands. (to be honest the rylands ooption would see a better class of football played). In the end it all comes down to the fact they weren't good enough, iran have faired better and they are in the middle of a war zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 And Iran all play in an amateur league Sid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 With Adam Lallana joining Liverpool that would have made 6 Liverpool players in the England team and Flanagan as standby. How can Liverpool have played such exciting football last year and England been so lacklustre and boring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
