Football World Cup 2014

[GordonY]

Who was that? My team won the other night, I was supporting Italy 

A Geordie mate of mine once told "You Jocks are lucky B*ST*RDS, you get two teams in the World Cup, Scotland and anyone else who's playing England!"

Wouldn't be so funny if it weren't true.

[Matt J]

you get two teams

really  isn't it just one

Reading this thread -late I know but I've been on me hols- I've just found out the meaning of apathy. I will watch all of the big team games and some of the smaller ones as well for the next three weeks as I have done every four years since the glory days of 1966. So is my son and even Ma Subs is slowly coming round to our way of thinking. Mind you, in her defence, she will always watch an England game.


You lot.

Have to admit, I've already seen more than I was expecting to.

Of my 'four teams with the best chance to win' before the competition started, I've only been really impressed by Germany.
Brazil & Argentina were OK, but not as good as I thought they'd be......Spain ?.....Oh dear. oh dear ! (Well, I suppose they lost their first game last time and then went on to win...Be surprised if they repeat that !)

Holland though !.....Blimey !

Holland though !.....Blimey !

Careful Phil, I know lots of people from the Netherlands that would get irate at you calling them Holland

[Ithoriel]

So ... this football thing .... has it started yet?

Apologies if that's a real "No-No" to our friends over there.

Not properly, I.

He needed that talk from a Netherlandish Uncle.

[Hertsblue]

Only managed to catch one game so far - Greece getting rightfully stuffed by the Columbians. Wouldn't write off the Spanish just yet, though.

Football - is that the one with the big "H" things at the end of the field, or the one with the tall black men with orange balls?

[fsn]

or the one with the tall black men with orange balls?

Oooh, nasty!

Nah, it's that thing with all that rolling on the field in utter agony when being touched by another player, only to get up and start sprinting a few seconds later

7 - 1 ??

Didn't see that one coming.......Great fun though !

Cheers - Phil

[Matt J]

un-bloody-believable, never seen anything like it.

Great quote from Robbie Savage though 

"The first half was most incredible half in World Cup history. Funny thing is Brazil would still hammer England!"

It's only a game, everyone.

[Matt J]

Yeah but it's the only form of Nationalism the free world allows

[Sandinista]

Nah, it's that thing with all that rolling on the field in utter agony when being touched by another player, only to get up and start sprinting a few seconds later 

as opposed to biting blood capsules to feign injury to exploit blood replacement rules 

[Techno]

It's only a game, everyone.

That wasn't a game.....That was a massacre.
