[ChillDoubt]

I've not got many fingernails left! C'mon the underdogs.

[excelsior-1]

nuts!

well, they can go home proud

[magicmick]

It has to be said football can be so 'Krul'

[scorpiojo]

Groan

[ChillDoubt]

Costa Rica appear to be getting more plaudits from the partisans in the crowd, they've had a sensational tournament.
I fancy a Germany v Holland final.

[excelsior-1]

and thoroughly merited

[Arksided]

I think so as well ChillDoubt a European derby in Brazil.

[murraymints]

What a game ! The boys dun good

[murraymints]

Who was the coloured guy on commentary with shearer and Hanson ..driving me mad ?

[ChillDoubt]

Do you mean Rio Ferdinand, minty?

[Fibonacci]

Rio Ferdinand

[murraymints]

Of course it was ! Thanks

[magicmick]

Imo Rio Ferdinand is the only one in that quartet who talks any sense

[Khandro]

magicmick; Agreed, and the only one to choose Germany over Brazil. We shall see.

magicmick; too busy watching his lips undulate when he speaks to actually concentrate on what he's saying. Reminds me of a race of people in Kenny Everett's hilarious cartoon series, Captain Kremen - the race being his enemies The Thargoids, who are described as having transparent heads, furry green eyeballs, seven legs and three lips:-)

[Gromit]

A very brave substitution at the end from Van Gaal. Never seen that before in a world cup game. If it had failed he would be a villain, but it worked.

There will be many Manchester United fans feeling a lot more optimistic about the forthcoming season than they were 12 months ago, on that managerial performance.

[Arksided]

It'll be even better if the Dutch win it, the fella does seem to know what he's doing.
