2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[Psychotic]

DK only posts in the football thread, so I will, too!

Paulchotic, who from Liverpool is representing this time around?

England have Johnson, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Lambert and Sturridge. Then there's Sakho at France, Reina at Spain, Suarez and Coates at Uruguay. Plenty of ex-redmen in action too! Kuyt, Mascherano, Alonso and Alberto bloody Aquilani among others.

This is a cracking game btw. Australia going down swinging.

Gerrard will hopefully be making me proud as usual I hope! Golden legs.

I have missed most of this so far, I will just keep reading this thread to know the happenings

I hate Spain, but the Netherlands is also a team distinctly worthy of hatred. Oh well, I hope Chile eliminates Spain in another 5-1 massacre somehow. And Australia beats Spain 5-1, too.

[Shoden]

I rooted for Spain last time but oh man, glorious stuff from the Dutch! 5-1! (( familiar score round these parts ))
The fact Spain got beat is one thing but totally and utterly slaughtered is another, very niiiice

This has been my favourite World Cup ever, so far. The world champions being spanked 5-1 and England are still undefeated!

The worst team in the World Cup aka England are playing today. Who is excited for watching a pile of awful rubbish get absolutely mullered?

Who do you think will be to blame? I have two good candidates.

Rooney - the most overrated potato-man in the history of overrated potato-men who get into Nike commercials based on two games aforementioned overrated potato-man played in 2004 - will be trout, lack any sort of tactical disclipline and let Pirlo do whatever the smurf he wants just as he did in Euro 2012. Roy will not drop Rooney because Nike and The Sun won't like it ("ROO WHAT? ARE YOU BRAZIL NUTS? WOY DROPS STAR WAYNE") even though Welbeck, Sterling, Lallana, Barkley, Lampard, Wilshere and Fraser Forster would all be better in the no 10 role.

Glen Johnson will also be hilariously bad and smurf up. Hey Old Manus, remember when you moaned about him non stop in Euro 2012 and then he turned out to be England's best player in the tournament? lol. Either way, you're in luck because now he's in bad form and put on a few pounds. Still, don't be too harsh on the lad as there's no decent alternative. Jones? Smalling? I'm sobbing at the prospect. Kyle Walker is just a trout version of Glen Johnson and Glen Johnson is already trout.

you know who i'm blaming. I can hear it. so can you. it's still distant but it's thundering ever closer. pounding those tracks. just like barret said, no matter how much I wish otherwise...ain't no gettin' offa this train we on.

toot toot mothersmurfers.

huaaaaayne to get sent off as well. pirlo to destroy us. super mario to steam into the england dugout, kick woys water into the stands and then be utterly and geniunely hurt and confused when he's booked.

I very much like Spain and would love to have them do well again. But... last night's game was pretty awful. Bad decisions were definitely made.

The Dutch team did fantastically though.

That is all.

Jesus Christ. All of a sudden, tonight's game against Italy might actually be our easiest one! Really can't see us progressing if we don't win tonight.

A draw will do.

If you are American and don't often watch soccer, don't watch this game. "Oh yeah! England v Italy! That'll be awesome!" 'fraid not. It will bore you to tears and you will think the sport is trout. It is, but only if England play. Italy are kind of paff too actually.

England will curl up into a ball and defend non stop. It will either be 0-0 with Italy failing to break England down, or Italy will score early and refuse to attack. This will confuse England because refusing to attack was their game plan, and so the ball will remain in the centre circle while both teams hide in their own box until time runs out.

I don't remember it so it didn't happen. He's still pants though

Looking forward to tonight. It is going to be so thoroughly boring that I'm afraid I might get constipated. One guff team against one which isn't actually quite as good as people think they are. Got 0-0 written all over it. I also look forward to heartily eating my words come midnight and a five goal thriller.

I remember United playing against this Joel Campbell fella in the CL and he was a right good player, probably the best in the Olympiakos side on the day (he scored then, too, the bugger). Not a shocker to see him doing well. Haven't watched the full game because of a massive headache I have atm, but he seemed the biggest threat when I was watching earlier and it seems he's got himself a goal now.

He is now, sure.

Also yeah Costa Rica v Uruguay fascinating game.

Colombia v Greece was pretty good too actually, surprised Colombia did so well without some of their main men.
