Brazil v England, k/o 20:00

[Lord Camomile]

I know you're all trying to play it cool and pretend you don't care in the slightest about this exhibition match played weeks after the season ended, but we're all friends here...

Ok, it's maybe not the most important or even interesting of matches, but fuck it, it's football, and I am curious to see what Brazil are looking like these days.

Be nice to check out the Maracana too.

 

[toblerone3]

Is the Maracana safe for England?

 

[Voley]

I'm always naturally optimistic when it comes to England so I think we'll be really crap and get beaten badly.

 

[Libertad]

Brasil 3 - England 1

 

[toblerone3]

Do you want the event itself, as opposed to the result, to be a success?

 

[1%er]

Brasil 3 - England 1

I'm guessing you haven't watch Brazil play recently, Brazilians haven't been impressed of late and with the Confederation Cup starting next month Brazil need to put on a good performance for the home crowd.

FIFA world rankings for Brazil's male team is 19th and the women are 4th.

19th doesn't cut it in Brazil and Big Phil is under pressure

 

[Libertad]

Predicted score stands, a notional punt.

The roads are unusually empty here, it is eerily quiet for a Sunday afternoon.

Aye, but surely most know that that position is because they haven't played a competitive match for the last 2 years?

Or it's on ITV1

 

[Lord Camomile]

What are we wearing

 

[Lord Camomile]

Always nice to have a bit of perspective on days like this: the USA are currently beating Germany 2-0.

 

[skyscraper101]

Ugh... NIKE England kits. Fuck off.

 

[skyscraper101]

Are they playing with a giant orange?

 

[1%er]

Aye, but surely most know that that position is because they haven't played a competitive match for the last 2 years?

out of the last 7 games they have only won once I think, every match that Brazil plays is a competitive match as far as Brazilian fans are concerned

The Brazilian fans are also much better looking

 

[Maltin]

Why are they playing with what appears to be an orange ball?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Two minutes and Brazil still haven't scored! We're brilliant!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, fair point.

 

[Lord Camomile]

He got the ball! Bah, just a robust English challenge. These fancy foreigners, they don't like it up 'em

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck's sake Theo, got three with you on a decent break and you try and run it through two Brazilians

e2a: in fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the reason he didn't cut into the centre was because he didn't want to try and take it on his left foot How can professional fucking footballers not be comfortable on both feet, still?!

Ha, then he does try it and overruns it

 

[Lord Camomile]

He's been shaky, but well done Hart for that one. Just get something in the way, that's the job.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Um, did anyone see the advertising that just appeared on the boards around the pitch? "Want to get away like Wayne?"...

I just saw that. Proper lol.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm genuinely surprised they're allowed to get away (eh? eh?) with that.

 

[Badgers]

Two minutes and Brazil still haven't scored! We're brilliant!

I am not liking England's chances here

 

[blairsh]

Good effort, nearly nutmegged

 

[Lord Camomile]

For fuck's sake boys :facepalmL

Pretty sure we can hear Hodgson, or someone on the England bench, pretty clearly

 

[Libertad]

I'm having problems seeing this orange ball.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ah Christ, not Baines as well

Wait a minute, is Theo our no. 9?! Fucking lol.

 

[Maltin]

For fuck's sake boys :facepalmL

I thought it sounded like Hodgson too.

Something live "Every fucking pass. Every pass is underweight". Presumably moaning about Walcott.
