Costa Rica v England (Group D) Tuesday 24th June 2014

[Lord Camomile]

C'mon, someone must be watching this...

Will Roy's boys salvage something from this tournament? Will we be happy with a "promising performance", or do we need to win this at all costs?

 

[Idaho]

I'm going to watch Uruguay v Italy

 

[J Ed]

Surprisingly good odds on Costa Rica...

 

[Idaho]

It's always good value to bet against England. England odds are always a rip off.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I predict 3-0 England.

[Lord Camomile]

It's a slightly curious feeling knowing this will be our last match.

 

[Corax]

Another step on our path to glory.

 

[J Ed]

Just put a tenner on Costa Rica ... I hardly ever bet on football but there is no way England can win this, surely?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Never! Do you mean this thread? That's a discussion about whether people will be watching, not an Official Match Thread

why not? it's a dignity cgame with no pressure, they've shown competent if not winning form. As good a chance as anyone I'd say


from my lofty perspective as a once every four years man

 

[poului]

Smalling...

 

[big eejit]

Smalling...

Not the best start.

 

[Favelado]

We've got the ugliest fans in the tournament, but then Scotland didn't qualify.

 

[Favelado]

That wasn't a foul then. FUCK OFF ITV.

 

[editor]

I popped out to Kaff to watch the game - and they're not even bothering to show it - but thanks to smartphone technology I can watch the England game on my phone and the Uruguay one on the big screen. Ain't technology great!

 

[tommers]

Lampard on for his final hurrah then?

 

[editor]

I think England will win this now that it's become a totally pointless game.

 

[editor]

Ooh! Not bad effort!

 

[big eejit]

Playing Andy Townsend bingo. Every time AT makes an insightful comment I have a drink. Still waiting to open the bottle.

Think I may need to change the rules.

 

[Favelado]

England fans chanting "Who are 'ya?" at Brazil. I despair.

 

[Onket]

Mexican wave.

What about Wimbledon?

 

[Favelado]

Mexican wave.

Distracts from the EDL chants of "England 'til I die" at least.

 

[twentythreedom]

What about Wimbledon?

FUCK WIMBLEDON

(ooh, just remembered I can watch it on my old phone! - 5 screens ftw )

 

[Lo Siento.]

despite changing most of the team, England look pretty similar to how they did against Uruguay (which tells you a lot about how clueless and ill-thought out their approach was in that game)

 

[J Ed]

Now I remember why I don't bet on football...

 

[belboid]

blates penalty for Sturridge

 

[Lo Siento.]

didn't get much of the ball there, did he?
