World Cup 2010 Thread

I think that, for once, Phl McNulty summed it up correctly:

Phil Mcnulty That's the conclusion of the testimonial section of the evening's entertainment. Return after the break when a football match may start.#fb

[stokeriño]

"May" being the vital word.

Oh God, now they're comparing us to the French. We're officially doomed.

[Kaney]

Given the slaughtering the French got for their performance against Mexico, would anyone here argue that England have played significantly better than them?

[Gazz]

I hate the English, and my whole want of USA winning is so England wouldn't win the group.

You hate everyone. You even hate Australia and probably Italy too.

[The Quasi Juice]

Wow England is playing really bad against....Algeria

[palaceofwisdom]

I give this match a DUD, and I'm being generous.

So far that is...

[Lineker]

I have a suspicion that we may see Defoe at some point in the not-too-distant future. And Joe Cole.

[naiwf]

Is anyone else sensing 1-0 Algeria being the final score?

[Dan]

Brb, Capello's bringing me on.

[Lineker]

This is just woeful. And now Carragher is suspended for the Slovenia game.

[stokeriño]

Wright-Phillips? Arrrrgh fuck off.

HOLY BACKPASS BATMAN >_<

[The Quasi Juice]

Why is Heskey still on the pitch?

[Benjamin]

God, I hate English commentators. Why can't we get some commentators who country isn't in the World Cup? How about some damn Canadian ones, eh?

[Gazz]

England suffer from 'Newcastle syndrome', where the overwhelming pressure of expectation crushes the players and make perfectly servicable players play like they're unaware of the existence of the game of football.

[stokeriño]

Well we have 20 minutes left, and you can already see that the players have virtually all given up.

[Lineker]

Apparently Defoe is about to come one.

EDIT: Yup, for Heskey. How about some Joey Cole action, Fabio? You know, for some creativity?

[Dynamite]

Fucking bring on Joe Cole!!!!

[stokeriño]

Heskey has actually been one of the better players. Not that this means much.

[stokeriño]

Apparently playing Steven Gerrard on the left has caused part of him to leak out or fall off, according to ITV commentators.

I hope they've got a steward to clean that up.

[Lineker]

I actually take back my Ally McCoist criticism. He's been the best British thing on tonight.
