[tommers]

Sturridge

 

[Lord Camomile]

For. Fuck's. Sake

 

[poului]

Nearly a sweet goal there.

 

[tommers]

We need Ricky Lambert

 

[big eejit]

If Andy Townsend says 'at this level' one more time...

 

[Lo Siento.]

three tight games, and England will finish bottom of this group because they've finished badly and lost concentration in defence. Nothing more.

 

[Voley]

If Andy Townsend says 'at this level' one more time...

I fucking hate it when he goes 'BETTER!' all the time. Dunno why, but he really irritates the fuck out of me.

 

[editor]

This is pretty dull stuff.

 

[Lo Siento.]

If Andy Townsend says 'at this level' one more time...

At this level. Because none of these Premier League regulars have met players of this quality ever in their career.

Have I missed anything ? In the pub garden now

 

[editor]

Well that was a foul alright

Pretty much. I really don't think we've embarrassed ourselves this tournament. We've been disappointing, but not embarrassing.

Not to keep banging the same drum, but these three performances have all been better than our 'winning' performances in 2010.

nah

 

[ruffneck23]

Have I missed anything ? In the pub garden now

No

 

[tommers]

Steven Gerrard is about to come on. Why?

 

[ddraig]

oooh

 

[Lo Siento.]

this game especially, they could easily be 3-0 up by now, but equally they've gone to sleep and given Costa Rica a few clear cut chances.

 

[ddraig]

Steven Gerrard is about to come on. Why?

might as well get another cap for sake of it

 

[ruffneck23]

It might well be his last match

 

[Lo Siento.]

Steven Gerrard is about to come on. Why?

Gotta have him on otherwise who was the melt down for Costa Rica's winner?

 

[Favelado]

God Save The Queen. Just ripping out pages of my passport.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gerrard and Lampard, together again for one last case

"We're too old for this shit"

 

[tommers]

And now Rooney? What the fuck? If you're playing the squad then play the squad.

 

[1%er]

that was a great poster

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

that was a great poster

Worth watching the game just for that poster

 

[editor]

Rooney actually had a good idea there.

 

[editor]

If I was a goalie in the world cup I'd go for those stylish punches too.

 

[big eejit]

At this level. Because none of these Premier League regulars have met players of this quality ever in their career.

Indeed. We're basically playing against the international equivalent of Fulham.

 

[scifisam]

God, this i a dull game. I had hopes that it would actually be interesting since neither team really need to win - that maybe they'd take some risky shots, try out a new formation, etc. But no.

 

[ddraig]

lol
