Paranoid Android Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm not sure there has ever been a game more set up to be a draw than England - Italy. I know it's a cliche but Italy are normally slow starters and both sides with be cautious and scared of losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 What we have here right now, is a man that'll walk around Aberdeen Music tonight, claiming his England team are gonna brush past the mighty Azzurri juggernaut! Claiming his boys are gonna win the group, climb the mountain, and go on to be crowned the FIFA World Heavyweight Champions. He'll be claiming it all. WELL WOODSINHO, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BROTHER! Here in Prandelli's house, we don't live off our former glories. We assemble a team! We get the brains (Pirlo), the brawn (De Rossi), the good (Buffon), the bad (Abate) and the ugly (Chiellini), and we say to our opponent, ya did it once (1966), now let's see ya try and do it again. So Woodsinho, tell me brother, WUT'CHA GONNA DO WHEN THE AZZURRI GO WILD ON YOU?! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 19, which the Guardian calls a "disappointing effort". A whole lotta guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The only one I was disappointed to get wrong was the one where you basically had to say which team came 3rd in 2006. My brain tricked me for a moment into thinking Portugal won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I put Uruguay, but that was the last one, wasn't it?! :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladstone Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 9 out of 30. Guess, guess, guess, guess, oh, I think I know this one, guess, guess, guess, etc. I knew the 3rd placed one though. And I knew the name of the dog that found the Jules Rimet. Yas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladstone Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27793494 Posting that, not for the article, which is just Phil Neville almost greetin' because some folk are slagging off his mate, but for the Pat Nevin video embedded within the article. Quite an interesting insight. I'm almost certain Rooney will start against Italy because Hodgson won't go into the opener without the biggest name in his squad, but Rooney really hasn't done it at a world cup yet. I'd like to see Rooney live up to his early hype at a major tournament and rip it up. Not sure if it will happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladstone Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 And this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27782669 Fucking hell. Referees are going to be armed with a tin of vanishing spray to mark where the ball should be placed for free-kicks and to then mark a line where the defensive wall needs to stand behind. Am I the only one who finds this mildly ridiculous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 They have been using it for a while in south america. Seems like a good idea, there can be no arguments of where the ball should be or how far back the wall should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah, I saw them using it for the Brazil v Panama game last week. Decent idea if they use it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah I think it's good, no more shuffling forward walls. Seemed to work well in the games I saw with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 So to your answer Galdstone, yes it appears you are one of the few that finds it mildly ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladstone Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Haha - fair enough. I just imagined that it wouldn't get used properly. I.e. just as the free-kick was being struck, players would step over the line etc. anyway. I guess I imagined additional unnecessary fucking about, disrupting the game etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm all for it. Those sneaky walls are always encroaching. Now they just need to introduce INSTANT DEATH for any goalkeeper bouncing off his line during penalty shootouts, and football will be fine.
