World Cup Games. Day Four.

[Sheik Yerbouti]

This World Cup has been ace so far.

 

[Hansern]

Pjanic is ace

 

[Portly]

Amazing that Maxi Rodriguez is still on the international scene.

Yes I always rated Maxi but I'm surprised he is still good enough to play for Argentina! I can't remember why he left LFC but maybe it was a mistake.

 

[Fabio]

Rojo looks decent thus far. VERY direct

 

[Leo]

Messi has been shite so far.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Bosnia are pressing & moving as a team infinitely better than England were last night. Had we combined our attacking with this kind of energy in pressing & closing players we'd have won.

 

[Fabio]

Own goal aside, kolasanic (sp?) looks good

 

[Fabio]

Messi has been shite so far.

He looks shite at every international tournament

For some reason

 

[Fabio]

Bosnia will be very unlucky if they don't get anything from this game. It's been near enough all them

 

[Whirly]

Roberto Martinez is a fantastic analyst. Loving having him on the commentary for this game.

 

[FoxForceFive]

This doesn't deserve it's own thread, so I'll stick it here.

Mario ballotelli posted this on his own instagram yesterday.

 

[Portly]

Nice. I'm sure I have seen one of them on "Dickinson's Real Deal."

 

[Gary25]

This World Cup has been ace so far.

It's been brilliant.

 

[Fabio]

It just needs a thunderbastard of a goal

 

[Fabio]

40 yard THRIKER moment

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

That Mascherano's passing is rubbish.

 

[red_maradona]

That Mascherano's passing is rubbish.

beat me to it. the lad can't pass to save his life.

 

[Leo]

Worst game of the tournament so far.
Argentina look awful.

 

[Modo]

That Aguero - Messi combo isn't working out it seems.
Messi needs to be the focal point of their attack, Aguero wants that too and they seem to be running into the same space all the time.
Only way they'll score another is through some kind of individual skill.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

BOOM

 

[Fabio]

He's turned up

Only took 8 years

 

[cloggypop]

Quite good that

[Leo]

Mmmm good goal that.

 

[Frogfish]

Weird goal at end of Swiss game. Ecuador just completely shut down and let them score.

Don't think Pogba deserves a red. Palacios was trampling all over him.

Hmmm Beckham ? Gascoigne ?

I didn't think it a Red but it could easily have been given .. and deserved ... under the laws of the game.

 

[HC]

I didn't watch the game but saw Rodriques in the starting line up and did think for a split second it was Maxi but then thought nah he must be ancient.

How did he play?

He played OK but he was subbed in the second half.

 

[Frogfish]

Every time I see Valbeuna he's been brilliant is he consistently this good or what?

Has been for about 50 years ! Remember him playing against us ? How old is he now anyway ?

Mate. It was 21-23C in the Maracana at KO time and 31-33C when England played Italy.
