If the Hughes thing doesn’t work out, can we get Cisse as manager. We’d be by far the coolest club in the league then.
Roberto Martinez and Southgate are suddenly re-thinking their team selections. "Lukaku's fit. We made a mistake!"
Japan kept the ball so as to only lose 1-0 today. Damn, we need to play them. (pleased I recorded that game, that's tomorrows no football sorted)
Probably the best outcome for tonight's game as regardless of whether it's possibly Brazil in the QF surely a last 16 match against Japan is more appealing than playing Colombia? Might actually make England-Belgium competitive now!!
Don't know what the commentators are making such a fuss about disciplinary record deciding it. It is way down the list and yes, it would be annoying to go out on such a margin, but it says something about how you play. Though I suppose may reflect the ref you get. Oh, what the hell. Japan are through.
The pundits are blasting Japan, but i'm sure that Northern Ireland would've done the same, it's tournament football and tactics play a part.
Agree. A huge chance for them to get through to the last 16 in the World Cup..they were unlikely to score so why risk Poland getting a second. Not unfair on Senegal as they had a whole match to get a win and didn't.
England to go through to meet Japan on fair play and then lose to Japan on fair play? (or do we have penalties now?)
Sticking on a 1-0 defeat is so risky. Just imagine a goal in the other game, they'd be in hot water back home.
Just seen the result. Now that's what you call scraping through! I'm glad we Bednarek scored and Yoshi goes through. Smiles all round.
