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

[editor]

Dull, dull, dull.

 

[ruffneck23]

They are slating the team on 5 live

 

[Lo Siento.]

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

IMO international football is a massive leveller in that regard. Since the players play together so rarely, a lot of the big teams are incredibly disjointed. If you get the team dynamics right you can beat some giants.

 

[ruffneck23]

I'm kinda hoping Costa get something from this corner

 

[ruffneck23]

We'll at least we didn't lose

 

[J Ed]

What a shit match

 

[editor]

What a waste of time that was.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Bleugh

 

[Voley]

First point of the World Cup! I confidently predict we'll go from strength to strength now.

 

[tommers]

I'm watching the death of my sweepstake now.

 

[twentythreedom]

Oh well, that's that then. Taxi for England!

 

[tommers]

First point of the World Cup! I confidently predict we'll go from strength to strength now.

It's coming home! It's coming home! It's coming! Football's coming home!

Eh? What's that?

 

[ddraig]

imagine going all that way for 1 goal

 

[1%er]

How many times will the word "potential" be used in the post match analysis ?

 

[Lo Siento.]

Not sure why it's worth commenting that a game between two sides with nothing to play for might not be terribly interesting or dramatic.

 

[ruffneck23]

is Roy watching the match as me?

i thought it was our most shoddy performance

 

[ddraig]

"at least they got a point"

 

[tommers]

2.

 

[Gingerman]

Only team to hold Costa Rica

 

[ddraig]

You are correct! Sorry

 

[Lorca]

some nasty stuff on radio 5 phone in. a caller was just suggesting that the problem is the players largely come from a working class background, therefore, they're basically too thick to make good decisions on the pitch . (the presenter did try to qualify it by stating that plenty of people without degrees or a levels are still clever). he also said the players should get a better education before they play or should go to a nice middle class academy like Southampton! Srsly! also, callers suggesting its not politically correct to be passionate about England whereas it is to support wales or Scotland. maybe we just need to accept we weren't very good.

Shouldn't you be wanking-off on the cricket thread as well, Cock Rot?

"Ingurland" just lost the test.

"I don't think there were any great teams... Are Uruguay a great team? Are Costa Rica a great team? I don't think so"

Neither are England Alan, you great twat. And you just named the two teams that bloody well qualified from the group
