Football World Cup 2014

Morten Olsen after The Den-Eng Friendly
"Good luck, you'll need it"

 

[Calaen]

game over man

 

[Ch3tan]

Jebus, and I though all the talk off European teams not being able to do it in the Americas was just hype. Bar Germany all the euro teams look vulnerable as hell.

 

[soze]

Ohh well that's that then

 

[ileks]

Useless Italian bastards!

 

[Shagrat]

I'm hoping one of the "underdogs" goes far in this competition. some of the fast counter attacking play by nations like Costa Rica/Mexico/Colombia, hell even the USA who look like they actually want to play for their nation deserve a pop at some glory.

and it might show some of those nations/players who think they've got some sort of divine right to be there just because of who they are, that you actually have to have some passion and fire to give you that extra 10%

 

[megadave]

Had an old bet of England to finish with 0 points at 33/1, come on Costa Rica!

 

[Calaen]

They kept Pirlo quiet and got the rewards.

They all looked so composed on the ball as well. England always look like the balls gonna blow up if they keep it for too long!

lets hope the young lads sat on the bench start the next match.

Soooo the FA think that Hodgson should stay in his 3.5 million pound job...which equates to 3.5 million a goal...are they fuckin kidding me..reminds me of the famous quote...a madman is a person who repeats the same things and expects a different result

 

[megadave]

Why does he get paid so much? Second most in the world after Capello, who's price is high because he used to be England manager...



Here's a list (no idea on sources or accuracy)

 

[Litmus]

National disgrace each and everyone one of them.

 

[soze]

Stupid tackle that.

 

[Olgaline]

For the Spain and England fans ?

Who the England players? It is not their fault that certain parts of the English fan base and the press have delusions of grandeur . England do not have the players to win a World Cup most of the players played as well as they could and put a sift in, to expect more and then to call them a disgrace then when they fail is foolish.

I never expected anything from them. . Never have for the last 20 years, but for a country when football is the number 1 sport I can't understand how we're so bad at it

 

[Hawkwind]

Only 3.3 million people live in Uruguay, that's less than London

Poverty is a great motivator for well skilled kids playing football, Brazil and Africa have given many such examples.

Same goes for Spain and Germany etc?

 

[Hawkwind]

Wish Giroud was that quick playing as well for Arsenal

 

[Hawkwind]

Duh, obviously not for them but most the South American and African players. Germany spent a long time getting their national football sorted out and are now reaping the rewards. Wish the FA would do the same.

Was in Kenya a month ago, every patch of ground you see kids kicking a ball around. In England they are more likely to be sat on a park bench playing with their phone apps.

[CorNokZ]

These quad lingual, chocolate eating, alpine yodelling, army knife wielding, Red Cross wanna be, Swiss faggots!! I had them to not score in this match! For 80 minutes they looked like amateurs across the entire pitch and then they manage to score two goals in the last ten minutes when all hope is out..

Fuck the French too!! Don't get me started on the fucking French..

 

[Overdriven]

Ref, y u asshat. Y u no gieef Benzooomah goal =|.

I swore rather loudly after the camera switched at the end. Should have been 6.

 

[megadave]

hahahahha

im with my friend who had a bet for 6-2 to france!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Raven]

By default I am now switching to my country of birth team, mon the Germans.

 

[Embattle]

I quite like Chile, fact is this WC is still very interesting.

 

[Billargh]

Only bet today is to lay the fuck out of italy for maximum stake.
Italy v Costa Rica: lay Italy £1250 @ 1.6

Costa Rica are massively underrated and Italy fairly overrated. If you only make one bet, this is it.

Running P&L including early settlements of group winner bets so far: £4162.25

This! I had money on Costa Rica to win at 11/2, not much but chuffed at the win non the less.

What has buying my son a new Ultrabook for his GCSE years at school got to do with the subject at hand? His school report was excellent and it was his birthday anyway. The point was that you go places like Nairobi and all you see kids do is kicking football around. Same thing in India and Pakistan just cricket instead of football. Don't see that in UK these days unless it is organised training.

Against another European team.... what's your point?
