The Football.....

£57 is pushing it a bit steep though. Still, at least some thought has gone into the design and we're not being asked to shell out £90 for a white v neck t-shirt with a crest and a swoosh on it...

Or £13 from amateur kit suppliers & stick on yer own badge. Ok, no red neck detailing, but did that and the badge hike it £43? Wonder if the market has gone for £60 £10 shirts? I'd like to know how many England sold this WC.

The Mexico game was the "obvious" choice for me tonight.
But what about tomorrow? Costa Rica giving England a sound thrashing or Italy and Uruguay fighting it out for qualifying?

Italy is my third team behind Eire and England so I'll be rooting for them tonight. England v Costa Rica is now no more than a friendly.

As for Brazil wearing white shorts, they often do when the other side has an all dark kit.

FIFA and TV cash are the reason for the kit abominations in this WC.

Neymar is class.

He can be class all he likes, he's still a daffodil as far as Scotland fans are concerned. After the friendly game at the Emirates he accused the Scotland fans of racism and throwing at a banana at him. When it was subsequently discovered that the banana was thrown by a German in an area reserved for Brazil fans, he refused to apologise to Scottish fans.

So fark him. Every tackle that goes in wiping him out gets a cheer from this corner.

We've already had 2 games of that tho

From a nation that still goes on about Bannockburn 700 years ago I'm sure you'll manage to enjoy somebody else beating the English .... again!

And they say the Scotch aren't bitter?

From what I remember, Neymar didn't single out any particular set of fans, rather he was (rightly) lamenting the pockets of racism which still exist within certain groups of supporters. At the time the nationality of the fan in question wasn't known so I suppose you could take it that he was accusing Scots, though that's not my view. Sadly, our FA took it that he was and demanded a formal apology, which was pretty embarrassing.

Pffft. Played 3, won 0.

The biggest baile on earth is happening and we have to go home just as it's getting started.

I'm sure the tournament will be better without us. That last game was soporific at best

Will FIFA do anything about Suarez?

 

[cisamcgu]

Just before he did his biting bit, there was an advert on one of the hoardings saying something like "Make use of your mouth"

 

[martint235]

Well at least he's more likely to stay at Liverpool now

why ? Doesn't he "hunger" to go elsewhere ?

 

[Doseone]

He really is a horrible little sh!t. Just can't help himself.
