In other news I hope Trent plays a blinder

He looks good so far

It’s nothing to do with Japan or Colombia (the assumption is England will wee on either of them). It’s about whether you want to lose to Brazil in the quarters or Spain in the semis.

Spain are beatable , Brazil more difficult hey .

 

[Badgers]

Yellow card already #tactics

 

[binka]

Most of this lot have had countless opportunities to prove a point .

I disagree I don't think A-A, Rose, Delph, Vardy, Rashford have had many opportunities. I don't like Cahill or Jones but I already said that

 

[blairsh]

Here we go...

 

[Rebelda]

Belgium going for second on yellows?

 

[JuanTwoThree]

What language do Belgium fans chant in?

The international language of sportsmanship

 

[twentythreedom]

The international language of sportsmanship

Or German

Couldn't the Russian custom bods have stopped that fucking brass band at the border?

 

[Badgers]

The international language of sportsmanship

International language of 'sponsorship'

 

[blairsh]

If England go all the way it's because of the large South Yorkshire contingent (four hailing from my neck of the woods)

Not going to mention the band though

On behalf of Owls fans everywhere I apologise,they do our head in too

They should've just sent Tango instead...

 

[steveo87]

That fucking BAND!
Just out of curiosity, are they invited by the FA?
Or do a load of blokes just randomly turn up with brass instruments and hope for the best?

E2a, I see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

 

[editor]

And they're singing God Save The Queen again

They get officially invited by FIFA, so no

I read something about them today. There's actually 18 of them doing the 3 piece band on rotation

Apparently you can blame Terry Venables. He heard them at Sheffield Wednesday and invited them to play at England games in the lead up to Euro 96

 

[Badgers]

TAA saved the day there

 

[blairsh]

Delph buggers about too much.

 

[imposs1904]

Diplomatic immunity? Bastards.

Missed the first 25 mins. Anything I need to know?

 

[Casual Observer]

All a bit messy so far. England totally bossed the first 30 seconds though.

It's coming home

Nope.

 

[blairsh]

Fast binka

 

[colacubes]

[Steel Icarus]

Not a very interesting football match

I'll add it to the list....

It's surprisingly nerve wracking for a match where the result that doesn't really matter. Oh and Phil Jones couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo, adds Mr. QofG's
