    You've got to know when to hold 'em
    Know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away
    And know when to sub your keeper in the last minute of extra time just prior to a penalty shootout.

    Would I ****. I'd like England to win something, but not without class. You don't have to act like a **** to win in life.

    He tried something against Italy in the last Euros. Didn't work. Pirlo in fact said afterwards that he did the little chipped penalty to knock Hart down a peg or two.

    If it had worked, you wouldn't give a **** though, would you?

    You deserve to lose if you don't have the mental strength to ignore an aggravating Dutchman, sorry Costa Rica.

    If Hart's mind games had worked in Euro 2012 and we were in semi finals, would you have cared?

    Like hell you would.

    Unfortunately, Hart isn't fit to lace Pirlo's boots.

    It started a fairly **** game, but ended a great one, it's just a shame Costa Rica didn't win.

    Not at all. And I didn't. There's no rule against trying to psych someone out, and if you can do it in normal time I don't see why a shootout is different. It's not an unfair advantage or anything.

    I liked the reaction of the Costa Rica players, bit like City's fans after the cup final. Obviously disappointed but clearly too proud to be downbeat.

    To be honest I can't even remember them. Was it just some farting about on his line? That's acceptable - but coming up within a couple of yards of a player as he walks to the area is not. The ref should have booked him and told him he'd be off if he did it again.

    Same here. He spoiled the finish to the game which had been played in a great spirit. What a big headed arrogant wan*er.

    It was me that brought it up - I can't remember exactly but it was some **** he'd been taught by a psychologist. I think he was screaming and waving his arms all macho.

    That's the responsibility of the ref, they have been suspiciously lenient at this World Cup.

    Lenient on diving, but I think they've been quite strict on some soft challenges overall.

    Why? He didn't break any rules.

    Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's wrong.

    Lets hope the Netherlands beat Argentina, I'd rather not watch a South American final, they'd spend more time hugging the turf than playing football.

    The ref can book someone for unsporting behaviour.

    Muller and Robben aren't exactly saints in that way.
