FIFA World Cup 2014 !

I actually felt bad for England this morning. I was settled or a 1-1 draw. Strangely, once I realised it was Gerrard that played the ball to Suarez, I even felt bad for him!

One of our analysts on our coverage over here. I don't know if you know him, a clown named Craig Foster (had played for Portsmouth and Palace). But this was a gem of his when reviewing the Australia/Netherlands game

"If we had their players, we would've won"

As I understand things, in order for England to go through, they need to beat Costa Rica, by a number of goals - quite possible.
Italy need to beat Uruguay - quite possible
Italy need to beat Costa Rica - quite possible

So on paper at least, the chances for England are reasonable, not the zero hope portrayed so far?

Sadly I have to agree with Gadjo.

Judging by Costa Rica's one game, why should we beat them? Also if Italy beat Costa Rica tonight, I cant see Italy going 9 out of 9.

Lets hope so though.

So how am I doing?

Spot on Scores: 2/23
Correct Result: 9/23
Wrong Result: 12/23

I mean spot on scores are pretty tough, correct results are easier.

Could be better really. Spain have screwed me twice. :confused:

Hi everyone, I have a tip for you. If you order any pizza for an England (if you're UK) match, you might have to do so in advance cos it was crazy at work last night, the busiest I've ever seen imo (I'm a delivery driver!) with some people waiting over an hour. Oh dear. :p

Aw shame about last night, I only heard the result from a customer...


Is it lame I actually forgot it was world cup this year...?

I assume you are not a football fan then Rj?

You are a delivery driver. That explains why the Pizza I ordered on May 29th isn't here yet. ;)

Haha! Well I´m more of a motor racing fan really. ;)

Um I do kinda have an interest, but only in premier league (especially when Reading are in) and world cup really, though managed to miss this entirely so far!


Edit: Hey the like button is back. Good move.

Yes, IT IS LAME. Even if you're not interested it's impossible to be so head in the clouds to don't notice that all the people around you ( I suppose you don't live around Mark :devil: ) talk only about it.
