World Cup LD

He's German, he calls gloves 'hand shoes', there's nothing wrong with him saying soccer.

Anyway, I think USA will beat Belgium. Well, I don't, but I fucking hope they do. That's if they end up playing them and not the Mighty Algeria.

 

[Lee]

US are the team i'm now supporting, my mate has algeria.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Strachan is making some good points to be fair to him.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Aye, particularly that rant on morals.

 

[Uncle Sam]

He's German, he calls gloves 'hand shoes'

I can confirm that this is true.

 

[Loveless]

Horrible miss by Mehrtens.

Belgium look a better team with Mirallas instead of Lukaku.

 

[Tastycles]

I'm watching ITV4. Capello is bullshitting his way to a narrow escape from a weak group at the expense of Algeria again.

Halliche, the Algeria captain, used to play for Fulham) and he was diabolical - got done by a Peterborough player twice in one game (A 6-2 win, as I recall. My flatmate claims him as the worst professional footballer in history.

 

[Uncle Sam]

My flatmate claims him as the worst professional footballer in history.

The worst I've ever seen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Seaborne

Unfortunately, he's not at the world cup. Nor do I remember what he looks like. This isn't a remotely interesting bit of information. All I remember is his total inability to control a ball.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

What happens after this game with the Fantasy Football? Are we stuck with whoever we initially chose or what?

 

[Tastycles]

Halliche is definitely up there for me, as is Briggsy, who couldn't even get a game for Fulham last season.

Marvin McCoy who I saw at Wycombe a few years ago, probably, though my season ticket holding mate says that's not even the worst Wycombe player.

A new transfer window opens I believe.

 

[Harthan]

Very happy to see the US advance. Good to at least repeat our result from last time and I think we have a great chance to beat Belgium and move on to the quarterfinals, where Messi would probably annihilate us.

 

[Loveless]

Belgium have stolen another game at the end.

 

[Loveless]

Something about Fabio Capello's jumper is hilarious. It's like a bad Christmas present that he's been forced to wear.

 

[Blade]

A benched player just got a yellow card. Has that ever happened before?

Not sure I have ever seen a player on the bench yellow carded but I have seen one "sent off."

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Brazil Vs Chile, too close to call.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

Is Gary Medel a good choice for Fantasy? My dad is insisting on it due to his status on Cardiff City's team (I'm helping him with his own team because he did abysmally beforehand).

 

[Blade]

Whoever set up that fantasy thing is a moron. Guardado is listed as a defender, and Lahm is listed as a midfielder.

 

[Барбоса]

Lahm has been playing defensive midfield for Germany in the tournament.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

I'm really aggrevated I went with Goetze as opposed to Mueller in the group stages. It was a complete toss-up between the two.

 

[Blade]

Lahm has been playing defensive midfield for Germany in the tournament.

And Guardado, one of the most attacking midfield players in the Mexican squad?

 

[Барбоса]

Guardado plays as a left wing back, therefore can be easily classed as a defender.

He is also listed with FIFA as a defender.

 

[Blade]

He hasn't played any of the World Cup matches as left wing back, just a left winger. Miguel Layún has been Mexico's left back. Guardado also plays further up the pitch in club football most of the time.
