That Cuadrado is some player. Incredible pace, great passing and vision.

Alan Hansen :
"What Colombia have done really well is they have sat back, soaked pressure and hammered the Ivory Coast on the break. The final ball has been a bit off. If they could get the first goal, you could see them scoring two, three or four."
"The best chance of the half was a pathetic finish from Gutierrez."

That Cuadrado is some player. Incredible pace, great passing and vision.

Yeah, the BBC pundits were highlighting James Rodriguez before kick off but I think Cuadrado outshone Rodriguez in their first game and is doing so again today.

 

[Pesam]

Serey Die in midfield for Ivory Coast is having a mare.

 

[Pesam]

Poor effort from a free kick from Yaya, have we had a goal from a direct free kick yet?

 

[Hansern]

Cuadrado is ace

 

[Markeh]

What is it with Yaya Toure, he either looks like he's running through treacle or charging like Jonah Lomu.

A lot of the keepers have been very shit and punchy so far

 

[cloggypop]

Bony off and Colombia score 2. Coincidence?

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

If (Big IF) England were to scrape out of the group then getting past Colombia would be extremely difficult.

 

[FoxForceFive]

This match best stay like this to consolidate my prediction league place.

Think Ivory Coast scored a bit too early for that though, hard to see either side not scoring again.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

I'd have Aurier and Rodriguez.

 

[Pesam]

Dull first half, awesome 2nd half.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Dull first half, awesome 2nd half.

First half wasn't legendary but the first half hour was decent enough.

Second half was boss from start to finish though.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I really cannot stand how many players (yes, includng our own) will go down late and 'pretend' they need medical assistance ...

 

[Frogfish]

If (Big IF) England were to scrape out of the group then getting past Colombia would be extremely difficult.

Actually their defence does look very iffy. I'd defo fancy Sterling/Sturridge against their back 4. I imagine we'd dominate possession as they don't have much of a midfield, but have to look out for their incredible pace in attack.

Yay ! My first 4 pointer and I rise 4 places off the bottom 😉

That damn oncey had 2-1 as well, he's like a doberman gripping to my leg.

fucking ivory coast

Well you know how much he likes to get his dick out.

 

[Hansern]

Serey Die in midfield for Ivory Coast is having a mare.

@WorldCupPosts: Ivory Coast midfielder Serey Die's father reportedly passed away 2 hours before kick-off today. The 29-year-old played 73 minutes. Respect.

 

[Modo]

6 liverpool players on the pitch....come on boys!!!

 

[FoxForceFive]

Sturridge doing that flick that suarez does to force players into handling it with perfection.

 

[Modo]

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

 

[gkmacca]

Gerrard yet again fails to clear the first man with a corner. How a player of his technique keeps doing this is a mystery.

 

[Modo]

Uruguay are making it hard for England to keep the ball in attack. Flooded the midfield, England players can't find any space.

 

[gkmacca]

This ref is dodgy. Uruguay should be down to ten men by now and yet he's giving loads of free kicks against England.

 

[Modo]

LUIS!!!

 

[Markeh]

so this is the thread for talking about England v Uruguay, not the England v Uruguay one

Rickie for Rooney Roy
or
Wickie for Wooney Woy
