[Özil's Panoramic View]

Proper pub team scuffer for the equalizer.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The England shirt is so unimaginative.

White t-shirt with a blue collar.

Must have taken ages to to design.

[Munchies]

Eduador 1 Germany 4

Valencia

[Munchies]

The England shirt is so unimaginative.

White t-shirt with a blue collar.

Yeah, the red one is slightly better, but it still looks like a cheap polo you can get for £4

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube doesn't have a clue what he is doing.

[Munchies]

http://i.minus.com/iv4uwSjDAKZs2.gif

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo just needed to smack it there.

[Cripps_orig]

Sturridge down

Out for the season

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge off injured, Defoe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run by Theo, didn't pick anyone out at the end of it though, or they didn't make good enough runs for him maybe.

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant from Theo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walters van Basten. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who tried the OG for England? :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Carrick is awful

1-1 HT

[Cripps_orig]

Jones and Foster on

Johnson and Hart hauled off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good ball across from Theo, Wazza picked him out too. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coleman craps on Oxocube.

[Cripps_orig]

Danny Mills at Wembley, BBC Radio 5 live
"The game has gone a bit stale and predictable. England need that attacking midfield player to open things up, but this is where they lack the inventiveness of a Jack Wilshere. I suppose the questions is can Wayne Rooney play that role for England?"

Has he never seen Wilshere play?

Game has gone shit though.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo shot saved

Started by Ox

[Cripps_orig]

Keane hauled off

Cox on

[Cripps_orig]

Another Theo shot saved

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Beautifully struck? No Clive, it wasn't.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ffs Ox.

That shot should at least be on target.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Carrick is terrible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos in England's area. :haha:

Foster. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube needs to put that away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxo. :haha:

Bloody hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo cross/shot saved. Well worked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube off, Milner on.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Honest Frank has been dreadful (judging as a midfielder_.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT. England just can't beat Ireland.

On to Brazil on Saturday. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Can't even beat the worst Ireland team in years.

:rose:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Can't even beat the worst Ireland team in years.

:rose:

Tbf, this is also the worst England team in years.

[Cripps_orig]

Ox should have scored tbh

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Did Chiles really just say it was "basically a home game for Poland"?

:lol: :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You know Chiles, he's an idiot.

http://i.imgur.com/alYNpI0.png

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Oxlade is pretty much your standard overzealous GHEL with a lot to learn.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Hodgson has just compared the way England play to Dortmund.

USA 2-4 Belgium, Dempsey from the spot.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

USA 2-4 Belgium, FT.

Belgium is really packed with talent....awesome display and without their top player Hazard.

[GP]

Can't stop scoring it seems.

I hate this phrase. I'm sure he could stop scoring if he wanted to.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

I hate this phrase. I'm sure he could stop scoring if he wanted to.

He really can't.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL, forgot these were on. International friendlies, the dregs.

Maracana. :lol:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

[Cripps_orig]

FIFA :haha:

Choosing a country that has shit stadiums for the 2014 WC, a racist country in 2018 and a country that can't play football in the summer for 2022

Blatter needs to go

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Back on now :lol: :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Cox

[Cripps_orig]

Milner starts :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Milner :bow:.

Always there for the big games.

England have had so much success with players like him, of course he must start.

[Master Splinter]

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNumpty in Rio

Not exactly the warmest welcome for England in today's match programme.

Harsh words these: "World Champion in 1966 during the Sir Bobby Charlton, Gordon Banks and Alan Ball generation, the team has not been much of a threat since then."

England :haha:.

[Cripps_orig]

Ireland 3-0

Keane

[Cripps_orig]

Keane again

[Cripps_orig]

4-0 FT

ITV coverage has started.

Keane and Southgate are there.

Dixon :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Chiles "lets look at the Brazil line up. Brazil are always Brazil"

No shit

[Master Splinter]

Milner AND Jones.

What's the point?

Might as well stick Michael Brown and Paul Robinson in there.

If Brazil don't beat this absolute pub outfit, they really are the worst Brazil side ever.

[Cripps_orig]

Lets see what the newly crowned **** Neymar can do

[Cripps_orig]

Barnes and some pubber talking about that goal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnes the intellectual. :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Oh dear.

BFG just missed the easiest of tap ins from 7 yard out.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

This'll almost be like a home game for Brazil.

[Cripps_orig]

Brazil: Julio Cesar, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Luiz, Marcelo, Paulinho, Fernando, Oscar, Lucas Moura, Neymar, Fred. Subs: Cassio, Gustavo, Ronaldinho, Ramires, Miranda, Leandro Damiao, Luis Fabiano.

England: Hart, Johnson, Jagielka, Cahill, Baines, Jones, Carrick, Lampard, Walcott, Rooney, Milner. Subs: Foster, Cole, Lescott, Rodwell, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Defoe, McCarthy.

Referee: Wilmar Roldan Perez (Colombia)

[Cripps_orig]

Who the hell is McCarthy?

[Rors]

Picture goes already :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

ITV having problems

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Altidore puts the USA 1 up against Germany.

BFG. :doh:

Fucking up an easy chance to Germany 1 up and then losing his man at the other end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear.

BFG just missed the easiest of tap ins from 7 yard out.

That boy just loves to defend.

[Master Splinter]

Altidore :haha:.

The American Heskey :bow:.

BFG :haha:.

Germans :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our national anthem. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

USA 2-0 Germany. :haha:

Goalie played ball into his own net after failing to control/clear a simple back pass.

[Rors]

Picture fuck-up again. Just go home :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Tyldesley thinks that is 4-4-2 he is clearly nuts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner will get you back for that Alves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar. :lol:

[Rors]

"If you have seen his goal collection on Youtube" What?

[Cripps_orig]

Milner :haha:

[Syn]

"If you have seen his goal collection on Youtube" What?

The pinnacle of research.

[Rors]

The pinnacle of research.

Makes yer proud...

[Rors]

Hulk looks not unlike Cody Rhodes, I've decided. Wonder if he brought a bag with him...

[Cripps_orig]

Shit FK by Neymar easily saved

[Rors]

Neymar :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

And a shit cross from another FK from Neymar.

Barca :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Howedes and Ter Stegen. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Alves shoots wide

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo blundering his way through to nothing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FFS Wazza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar's pub team touch nearly presented himself with a goal. :lol:

[Rors]

Glen Johnson. :lol: Just why?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I felt sure Hart was going to let it go through his legs there.

[Cripps_orig]

Good save by Hart that was.

That's unusual of him

[Syn]

20 mins and Brazil haven't scored against England. :lol:

What a rubbish side.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Why haven't England got a Fred?

[Cripps_orig]

Jones is terrible

[Rors]

Neymar definitely getting the Ronaldo-2002 "can probably even walk on water if you ask nicely" commentary here.

[Rors]

Why haven't England got a Fred?

http://www.bullspress.co.uk/Global/Comic%20images/Fred-Bassett.gif

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baines and Dani Alves looked superimposed there. :unsure:

Exactly my reaction during my Friday DVD watching...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Exactly my reaction during my Friday DVD watching...

What do you mean, brother?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Is it just my TV or is the picture and reception absolutely terrible?

[Injury Time]

Is the stadium so dodgy only got one camera, like watching the original football manager :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That would've been a very good goal by Hulk but it didn't go in, therefore:

:lol:

[Injury Time]

Is it just my TV or is the picture and reception absolutely terrible?

Looks like it was shot in the 70s tbf

[Munchies]

Frank taking out his own team-mate at Chelsea

[Rors]

What do you mean, brother?

I know, I know. I should worship the ground he walks on, Jack.

[Munchies]

Is it just my TV or is the picture and reception absolutely terrible?

[Cripps_orig]

I'm watching it on HD

[Rors]

What the blazes, Dani A? :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Roy is bloody loud isn't he.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo you berk! He's not your teammate yet.

[Munchies]

'stay on him' :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Theo once again our best attacking threat

[Munchies]

Big Phil is back ? :wave:

[Cripps_orig]

Lampard shoots straight at Cesar

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo got embarassed there. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

0-0 HT

Awful from England. Can't pass for shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Like watching two drunks fight in a car park.

No punches thrown and everyone else standing around laughing.

[Cripps_orig]

Germans get one back

Westermann with the goal

[Munchies]

ITV coverage had issues again ?

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thank goodness for Joe Hart says Chiles.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Woke up just in time to see Dempsey put the USA 3-1 up.

Germany is definitely shit without it's Dortmund/Bayern contingent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

ITV. :bow:

[Rors]

USA 4-1 Germany, Dempsey.

A left footed bender from outside the area that's reminiscent of a chimp fluke.

Not really ITVs fault but still

ITV :lol:

Not looking good for next year

[Cripps_orig]

Marcelo and Hernanes on

[Munchies]

http://i.minus.com/ibnEwAGxTLLda9.gif

3-1 goal

And Clint Dempsey becomes the first player to score wearing the Hypervenom. :bow:

[Munchies]

http://i.minus.com/ibju6ZgjW8l7X8.gif

4-1

[GP]

the fuck is a hypervenom?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

the fuck is a hypervenom?

Stupid marketing name for "football boot".

[Cripps_orig]

2 great finishes from Dempsey.

Awesome player

[Munchies]

Hypervenom are the new nike boots, Neymar's wearing them.

Saw it mentioned and I thought, is that really a stat ? :lol:

[Power n Glory]

Awful from Theo.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

All Carrick and Jones have done today is foul. All Lampard has done is give it away.

[Cripps_orig]

Oscar booed off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oscar off, Lucas Moura on. :bow:

Boos from the Brazil suporters for Oscar going off. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

USA 4-2 Germany, Kruse.

Beaten at his near post from outside the 18 yard box.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 1-0 England, Fred!

[Cripps_orig]

1-0

Fred

[Rors]

Fred :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Tyldesley say "...and Fred has equalised"?

:haha:

[GP]

Hart :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

All this match has proved is fergie is the best manager ever to win the title with the likes of Carrick and Jones in his team.

They are horrific

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Now USA 4-3 Germany, Draxler.

Quite a game this one is with Germany starting to look ominous.

[Rors]

Did Tyldesley say "...and Fred has equalised"?

:haha:

I missed that..but I can well believe it.

[Cripps_orig]

Ox is due

[Cripps_orig]

Johnson coming off for Ox

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson hauled off for Ox.

Do something Ox!

[Rors]

BBC Sport ‏@BBCSport 6s

Germany have lost 4-1 to the United States tonight, if that's of any comfort to England supporters!

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill does very well there to go to ground. What?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner shot deflects wide, Tyldesley thought it was in.

[Syn]

Walcott has a lot of up and down games but this has been a shocking performance even from him. But I guess footballers have switched off now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"ROOONEYYY" heads wide.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

With the commentary being out of the sync, it makes it a little better for Clive's ROONEY coming well after he misses it.

[Cripps_orig]

Wazza should have scored

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OXOCUBE!!!!!!

[Rors]

Oh my!

[Cripps_orig]

OXXXXXX

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a strike. :bow:

Assist from future club teammate Wazza.

[Rors]

"Years to come" is pushing it :lol:

[Power n Glory]

Ox!!! Take a bow, son!

[Cripps_orig]

Better goal than Barnes goal tbh

[Munchies]

Good goal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More important than Barnes' too. :good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxlade-Chamberlain "absolutely buzzing" twitterwatch.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

USA 4-3 Germany, FT.

Klinsmann must surely be the most unpopular German now. :lol:

[Rors]

More important than Barnes' too. :good:

Indeed. Worth noting that Barnes' goal was only possible because England hadn't qualified for the European Championships that started two days later..!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulk off, Fernando on.

He's back!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Indeed. Worth noting that Barnes' goal was only possible because England hadn't qualified for the European Championships that started two days later..!
Racist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube has given Ambrosini and Pirlo a torrid time tonight.

:Woy:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner. :lol:

Great pass from Wazza.

[Syn]

Oxlade-Chamberlain "absolutely buzzing" twitterwatch.

This goal was inspired by Wigan's FA cup win.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a goal by Wazza!!

[Rors]

!!!

[Power n Glory]

Woooooo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah it was deflected. :lol:

[GP]

Massive deflection

[Cripps_orig]

England to win the World Cup?

[Munchies]

Knew he couldn't do it without a deflection :lol:

Decent goal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

England to win the World Cup?

I think we already are.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 Paulinho!

England. :haha:
