Under normal circumstances I'd be rooting for a Costa Rica win.

Today however I will mostly be....rooting for as many goals from Italy as possible without reply.

 

[carteater]

We had a whole season of relying on other teams results, now we have to do this for England

 

[MattBackHome]

Already a good game. This World Cup is ****ing great.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

We want four...we want four... Come on Italy...

This is going to finish 0-0 isn't it?

This is going to finish 0-0 isn't it?

Hope so.
Spanish Style spanking awaiting England if they squeezed into the last 16.

A Costa Rica win might be a good thing in the long run.

England are like a horse on its last legs at this World Cup, you just want to put it out of its misery. The suspense and hope for another 4 days from England fans will border on ridiculous !!

I don't think we have a prayer. Best we can hope for is Costa Rica win and Uruguay beat Italy and send them home as well.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Please please please please finish in a draw

DON'T let Italy win, which would mean we would have four days of old bollocks about us needing to beat CR on Tuesday, and even more disappointment when the team ranked 62nd in the world roll us over easily

 

[ExmouthExile]

I couldn't give a flying shit who wins. If Italy win it's only delaying the inevitable.

 

[Weststander]

Dismissed as awful and draw specialists before the WC, Italy have some very good players who perform their particular roles to a high level. They play as a proper football team and are pleasing on the eye.

 

[nwgull]

Wow! That was as clear a penalty as I've seen!

 

[banjo]

Hope so.

Think Costa Rica will batter England so no chance of that.

 

[Don Quixote]

Wow

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

It's over now- all over!

 

[pipkin112]

!-0 Costa Rica

 

[:J)]

Wow! That was as clear a penalty as I've seen!

Shocking decision.

 

[East Preston Gull]

Thank **** for that. C'mon Andy!

 

[Frutos]

Going well then...
