Uruguay vs England (Group D) Thursday 19th June 2014

[Batboy]

So basically, Italy win against Costa Rica and Uruguay and then we win against Costa Rica, and we're through. I don't know what anyone is actually worrying about. The World Cup is as good as ours.

Yay, you've had the same drugs as me!

 

[Pickman's model]

I know it's predictable from a Liverpool fan but Hodgson is a very, very poor manager. We didn't hate him for no reason. He's got no decent track record and is inept in almost every single situation, tactical, practical, press - there's no end to his shitness.

i knew that win lose or draw england would whine

 

[DrRingDing]

This is why I don't give a shit anymore! There is only so much disappointment you can take before you say fuck it, I am not bothering this time!

I wouldn't so much if we showed some team spirit and heart.

 

[free spirit]

so, if we trounce Costa Rica next match, and Italy beat Uruguay and Costa Rica, then we can still go through?

 

[malatesta32]

I can't believe anyone thinks we played well there

It was like a Premier League match between Fulham and Stoke, where Fulham edge it.

i think you're being a wee bit generous there.

 

[Voley]

Bollocks.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I try not to be a superstitious man, but ITV are always death to us.

 

[Pickman's model]

Sturridge and Rooney played really well. Baines and Henderson were anonymous first half, much better second. Suarez is the difference. World's best player atm. Easily.

Of course the fans will whine if they lose. Well done arsehole! Are you going to predict that tomorrow is Friday as well? You're great at this.

 

[Quartz]

So, England on the next flight home?

 

[Batboy]

So on TV, Childs says to Hoddle 'So what went wrong' Hoddle gets profound ...could he not just say 'We lost you stupid cunt'

 

[gabi]

Heh, notice you remained quiet until after Suarez scored.

He isn't "killing" us, he scored a goal and has had a couple of other half chances, but no more than we've had ourselves.

Lulz

cmon italy

Nothing to worry about, Italy will win their remaining games, after a pep talk from Gerrard we'll trash Costa Rica and we'll be getting knocked out on penalties before you know it

yeh the fans will. so why are you whining?

you've had years to say anything about hodgson. but you've only had a pop at him on this thread. why the silence if he's always been such a shit manager?

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Suarez destroyed us in the vital area" - sounds painful, and surely not legal?

 

[thriller]

gerrard has been shit in both games. sterling ran around like a headless chicken with no end product. what did henderson do?

 

[Sunray]

We are out. I expected them to get knocked out.

I think this World Cup has come at a nice time for the young players we have. Given them some invaluable experience.

The euros will be an interesting tournament, if we stick with the manager and team. The last remnants of the team that totally failed to deliver in the last five tournaments will finally be gone.

Gerrard was awesome in the first 6 minutes 20 seconds!!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Caught the last bit of this game: exciting finish!

That Suarez is freaking deadly.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aaaaand again, you only get involved after the fact. Bravo, old chap.

 

[ska invita]

Can the press please pick on Gerrard now please

 

[Lo Siento.]

Yes you can

you can't drop 10 yards behind the striker on the off chance. if cavani wins that header suarez if offside, if both miss it you pick the ball up, literally only the freak occurrence that Gerrard puts it exactly there in that channel puts you in trouble

 

[rekil]

Good game, good game.

 

[goldenecitrone]

It doesn't half make you realise that without Suarez, Liverpool are going to plummet down to midtable. This is why I am praying that Uruguay win the World Cup and Suarez becomes priceless.

As Dixon said, at that point I think you play it safe. Why not cover Suarez's run? There was Jagielka and Cahill, one of them should have picked him up!

Apologies. I was busy watching the football. Just catching up on this hilarious thread.

 

[Plumdaff]

So, England on the next flight home?

You do know they have another match?

 

[Fez909]

Can the press please pick on Gerrard now please

You're such a Rooney lover/defender

Fact is, the only change from Italy was Rooney was allowed to play in his best position and it was detrimental to the rest of the team.

I know it seems counter-intuitive, but despite his goal, and his assist in the last match, I still think Rooney is the problem.

 

[Favelado]

yeh the fans will. so why are you whining?

Oh look. There's your original post. Hodgson has never been manager of LFC while I've been on Urban. I'll just go and get the keys to the DeLorean and do the posting you require.

 

[Gingerman]

Got to hand it to Suarez though,to come back from injury and take his chances like that was astounding
