World cup thread.

I like the way BBC talked about him as a Watford player in the build up

 

Not for long it seems - took the cap off after 20 minutes.

Good appeal for a penalty..

 

"This full back is making Amrabat look world class. He goes past him with ease every time."

 

And ‘he’s got him on toast’. Is it me or are all the players with Watford connections generally playing much better than we’ve seen in a yellow shirt? Carrillo, Amrabat, Niang, Layún. The exceptions I guess are Ighalo (not a good game) and Behrami who was generally a consistent performer for us and had a good game the other day.

 

Is it just me or does Pepe look a lot less scary with hair?

 

I hope that people don't start calling to have Amrabat / Carrillo back as a Watford players now, one swallow does not make a summer. Amrabat is the most frustrating winger since Wooter. I'd take Carrillo over Amrabat but even he lacks end product.

Layun is class but never really showed it at Watford, he was always professional. Niang's goal was cheeky, at least he put a shift in when at Watford.

The Pozzo's web has no limits it seems! haahahah

 

Well off to the bar to cheer along with the locals as Spain trouse Iran - Well that's the plan. If that fails I'll do my best to boost the Cruz Campo share price

 

Looks as if the supplies of CO2 that is required for a pint or two is about to disappear. You couldn't believe the timing.

 

Lots of minimalist football going on at the moment. Portugal could go a long way, as in the Euro's, just by playing to 0 and hoping that Ronaldo comes up with something. As for Uruguay it's like watching Stoke City on downers.

 

Both Morocco and Iran certainly did themselves proud against the big boys.

With a bit more luck could have drawn.

 

I can easily see a scenario where Iran go through. It will take more luck than they had last night but I must say I was underwhelmed by Spain.

 

Amrabat got good reviews.... although as with us his finishing was questionable...

What an absolute w*nker Schmeichel was before that penalty for Australia. Nob.

 

Told Mme that you put penalty kicks to the left of Schmeichel because he always goes to his right. He went as predicted.

 

England team for Sunday been leaked ?

I didn't say a word Mark ...

 

Well whoever plays shouldn't really matter as we ought to win..

Sure we will make it hard for ourselves as most of the big teams are !

 

Is anyone else getting depressed at the number of teams content with 1-0 at this World Cup ? That's 10 of them now - the Russians may not be the best team at this WC. but they are trying to be the most entertaining.

 

Not the greatest display from France, but they will accept the points.
