Man it was like Italy wasn't even trying... Felt no sense of urgency from them..

Hmmmm i wonder why.... seeing as England were depending on a win from them and all

You really think they'd give up a game to drop England?

This is implausible, as the loss means they have to win against Uruguay. And Uruguay are a very different side with Suarez on the pitch.

Costa Rica the true dark horse in this tourney.

Success of the premier league is the downfall of England's national team, start capping amount of foreign players and get more homegrown talent or be fucked forever.

If England wanted to do well, they'd fire Woy, put a modern manager in charge (someone like AVB or Martinez) and go with the youth in the team for the next euros.

The one thing they can't control for is having a shit goalkeeper.

Nar, no one gives a shit about England

Italians looked more exhausted than Atletico in UCL final, the weather is not pleasant there for sure

sudamerica latinas will own the cup because nobody else can play the best football in such tropical conditions

france made me a nice sum of money. and so did costa rica

Horseshit, England have been shite long before now.

More or less. England also have no technically gifted or well-rounded centre halves in an era of football where that's more important than ever. The whole "get stuck in!" mentality of the English game is basically hilarious and primitive.

^^^^

True - Smalling can play that role somewhat, but after that...pffft. I still prefer Jones as an attack minded DM, Terry was good at it, but he's a racist wife-fucker, so I guess he can't play football for his country.

If only we could get Welsh or Norther Irish in....

Nothing on the Germany-Ghana game in here? I only got to watch part of it...but the Germans looked super tired.

I wonder if having so many players playing deep into the CL had an effect on the side.

Anyways shocking result.

raul meireles looks fucking insane

Dat ink doe

lol spain decided to show up when it don't matter.

Netherlands looked good, although a little suspicious again at the back.

the Portugal-USA match - several things - POrtugal was playing without Pepe and Coentrao, Postiga went off very early to be replaced by a useless forward (Eder). I have much love for Bruno Alves - but he's never been the fastest defender - and last night he looked incredibly slow. Plus they have the disadvantage of having Nani in the side and C.Ron looked like he genuinely didn't give a fuck.

Still, a gutsy performance by the Americans who are very well organized by Kilnsmann. They stand a strong chance of winning their second round match, assuming they go through (which I think they should, unless the netherlands wins by 4 or more and the US loses, although I'm sure Klinsmann is on the phone to Loew to ensure a draw so they both go through).

The US has a pretty good chance of not going through though. I think they're most likely to make it through, but if Ghana wins against Portugal (likely) and the US loses against Germany (also likely) then we're probably not going to make it.

Suarez should really eat before a football match. He'll never learn.

Fucking Suarez he knows we need him and then he does shit like that

Can a player get a retroactive red card or punishment? That was so clearly intentional.

Yep, as long as the ref didnt see it. He could get a lengthy ban. Maybe kicked out the tournament?

His yerba mate is def infused with PCP.

The fellas certainly got a screw loose but let's face, can anyone name a club who wouldn't take him.

People who act outraged are fucking idiots, Suarez biting a player is hilarious

Third time's a charm - maybe Chiellini will turn into a vampire now as well. Seriously needs to be banned for that shit.

FLOL

How #Suarez sees every opponents' jersey...
