I love the "It is liquid engenering" part. Ronaldo only just worse than Drogba when it comes to diving and faking injuries. Hopefully he gets carded tonight and misses their important game against Brazil.

Nutty!

Not true. They draw lots. For the World Cup tournament, FIFA uses the following criteria to rank teams in the Group Stage.[60] greatest number of points in all group matches; goal difference in all group matches; greatest number of goals scored in all group matches; greatest number of...

So true. They didn't really throw a blanket rule over everything from behind. They just advised refs to have low to no tolerance for challenges from behind. Regardless, imo that would have been red in every league in the world.

Great work. Hope you get some game time under Grant. What's your name? I'll watch out for you.

Unfortunately I thought it was a clear red. Almost every professional ref would have given that. He moved his body towards the ball and his outstretched hand ended up "denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity" by means of a foul. (You can't tell me that wouldn't have been a handball anywhere...

I actually completely forgot about that little technicality.

Fucking Greece. I had a $8 multi on Argentina scoring 4 and Nigeria beating Greece. Greece cost me $120.

Really do you know anything about football? The Spain team along with Brazil are the most complete lists in the tournament. Although Uruguay/France certainly do only have "a few good players".

No Fernando though sadly. Let's go Spain!

Winston reid!

Hell yes! Btw, Kiwis look quite good so far.

He got a tiny tiny little tap and went down as if someone sniped him in the chest from the stands. All for players drawing free-kicks and making sure the refs see them, but that was just plain ugly cheating.

Just because they're old doesn't mean they are a liability. It just so happens Moore is one, Chippers is still fine. In fact he looked BOG against Denmark when he was playing, all the attack went through him and he still did well getting back.

And why would Carney play ahead of Chippers? Everybody's complaining about picking Moore after he's had no real game time. Carney's been injured for months and can't even start a game with his club when fit, while Chipperfield is still one of the best players in Switzerland despite his age.

And Heskey.

Exactly. Along with picking an injured Milner, Capello made some bad selections.

England's keeping is a bit of a weak point of theirs. Personally I think they'll start with Hart but that's just a guess. All three have their weaknesses.

US are good value at $7 but England should deal with them. 2-1.

What about the 12 Chelsea fans?
