[Football] World Cup - Day Five

[Guinness Boy]

Ref in this one looks a little like a certain Mr Trossard....

Would be good to see both Uruguay and Portugal fail to get a result today. Their game against each other next week could end up being tasty: Perhaps rivalling Portugal's 2006 scrap with the Netherlands, their 2000 meltdown after Zidane's golden goal winner or perhaps even"the most stupid, appalling, disgusting and disgraceful exhibition of football, possibly in the history of the game," David Coleman, Santiago 1962

Not to mention Portugal's cunning plan to beat Brazil in 1966 (it involved Pele, and it it would have hurt a lot!)

Oooh, Uruguay hit the post. Time for them to get annoyed and bite a few of the Parks and Kims.

Refs having a really good game

Blimey. It must be a shite World Cup if the only talking point is Urugay's dark arts.

So glad I'm missing all this immoral crap.

And Danny Murphy says, “I always wonder why they don’t count shots that hit the post or crossbar as on target.” The Co-commentator explained that it is because it isn’t on target. He replied, well it kind of is!

If the WC is a shop window, then we're a club likely to sell our players for top dollar if they end up excelling there. Equally though, there will be loads of players who have a shit tournament but are actually quite good. THOSE are the players we're likely to buy!

Are you missing it? I wish you'd tell us.




On every single world cup thread ideally.

I’m looking forward to seeing a similar post again later on today, then again this evening. Then 3/4 times tomorrow and every thread until the end of the tournament.

You're not though, you're on this thread, engaging with what is going on, which by definition means you're not boycotting the World Cup

Yes I think he is currently the best CB in the world so that would be a bit surprising.

Annoyed I can barely watch the games today... need to write 20 000 words in about 24h. Hope all the games are shite.

As an aside, Danny Murphy's excellent knowledgeable co-commentary & punditry stands out in a sea of mediocrity. When you think of utter chumps like Hartson and McCoist. Two absolute gimps.

 

[Brok]

Gnasher subbed. I can see SK getting a result here.

Glancing away from the TV to post, maybe

Korea have been the much better side here.

Suarez looked like a park footballer

I'm not sure there's much in it, personally, which is to be expected. South Korea have been a proper football nation for decades now and have earned the right to be considered as much. I'd have been surprised if they'd been shit.

I think I was maybe expecting more from Uruguay with the talent and experience they have.

Son needed to pass that, sums his season up
