Danny out Simao in

 

[nicksonic]

oh dear, simao's come on. if only we could import some atletico madrid lunacy into this game

 

[agricola]

Watching this game, and the past four years of football, makes one wonder whether Deco was ever any good and, if not, where on earth his reputation comes from.

 

[George350r]

Denied.

 

[belboid]

I made them start my job interview early so I could make sure I could be back in time for this pile of shite. Yawnsville

It's his art innit.

[George350r]

Drogba is coming out

 

[agricola]

Deco out Tiago in

Tiago does feature in one of the greatest "I do not want to play for Everton" legends of all time.

 

[George350r]

Drogba in Kalou out

 

[belboid]

cheer for Drogba drowns out vuvuzela's

 

[nicksonic]

Using this universal law the first half of the Brazil game is going to be a cracker as I'll be travelling back from work.

Mark it in the Radio Times people.

I wonder if proper Portuguese people who aren't footballers are similarly afflicted with this alarmingly prevalent falling over disease.
Wot a shower of tarts.

 

[George350r]

Ronaldo takes a another dive..

The ESPN commenter says Ronaldo will go down if there's any contact, even if its just a puff of Wind.. lol

The Portuguese art of falling over in open fields is well respected in rural parts of the country. There was a documentary about it shown at the Southbank earlier this year

New Zealand and Slovakia was more entertaining than this. Dire game of football.

it's sort of understandable since whoever loses this will probably have to beat brazil to qualify, but it's still disappointing.

 

[RaverDrew]

Man of the match too

 

[George350r]

3 minutes of stoppage

 

[belboid]

a great move there!

 

[nicksonic]

0-0.

i'd love to say 'they'll be disappointed with that', but they won't be.

 

[agricola]

Dull.
