England v Brazil - yawn (merged)

[Pavilionaire]

Encouraging first half. We need to beat this lot and end this 23 year barren run.

"England showing more and more confidence on the ball "... Crash bang wallop. Tosser.

I think I'm the only of my friendship group who thinks Sturridge is a comfortably better all round player than Welbeck.

If the Sturridge we are seeing at Liverpool is the real Daniel Sturridge then it's absolutely no competition.

Aah there is the England I remember.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It's got 2-0 to Germany written all over it though. Both goals in 2nd half.

Update. It will be 2-1

Gary Cahill is not up to it. He'd be 6th or 7th in my pecking order for centre back.

really - how does the ref not see that shirt pulling? yet gives a pen for a soft handball!!

This fucks me right off.

Great goal by Lampard.

Welbeck and Cleverley wouldnt be in the England squad if they weren't playing for United. Average at best.

Absolutely agree. They are both terrible. Welbeck is so one footed it is pathetic, his "performance" tonight is bordering on being offensive. What is he doing there?

I think I'm the only of my friendship group who thinks Sturridge is a comfortably better all round player than Welbeck.

Your mates lack your understanding of the game then. Sturridge is a footballer. Didn't look it at Chelsea at times, but at Liverpool he has already proven how good he is.

Gary Cahill is not up to it. He'd be 6th or 7th in my pecking order for centre back.

I rate him really highly. Strong, quick and technically brilliant. His problem is a lack of experience at the top of the game, he is still a bit naive.

Lovely goal that.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Walcott is absolutely hammering Adriano right now

 

[Mellotron]

Update. It will be 2-1

England Brazil highlights are worth catching if you can. Cracking game.

Worse thing about the game is Mr Townsend. But I suspect that's a given.

First it's the only game on my tv. Second I rather like watching the German football team.

It's the only game on your tv? Are you in brazil?

 

[redneb]

definitely living off past reputation. they can barely keep the ball - but it is commentator law that they have to jibber on endlessly about how amazing they are

Theyre playing past hero's. They don't have the big players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho (in his prime), Rivaldo, Romero etc.

 

[Max Paper]

I mean Germany or France

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It's the only game on your tv? Are you in brazil?

Why would the France Germany game be the only game on Brazilian tv?

 

[Paris]

For goodness sake. Give Lampard a new contract Hodgson!
