World Cup Match Thread Day 14 - Wednesday

[Annabel]

Does anyone think this France team are any better the England?

Lloris is better than Hart, Benzema is better than Rooney, Pogba is better than Wilshere. They're not brilliant, but I think they're better than England

Only people with eyes.

Another defence splitting pass by Wilson Palacios. Either the Swiss defence is really shit or we woefully misused him.

Edit: Just noticed Djourou's playing. That explains a lot.

If you think that red was harsh, then it makes it hard to take any refereeing related opinion you have seriously.

I'm sorry, totally disagree. The Frenchie slid in across Valencia path totally missing the ball. Valencia then tries to stop the ball under his foot misses hits the frenchie. His foot only slid down frenchie leg because frenchie motions direction took his foot that way.

Shit refereeing

 

[jondesouza]

Yeah, not seen energy like that since.

Went with a couple of chicks - one of which worked at mtv at the time - got in free and went to a ska club (run by john mayall's son - gaz) with them and Angelo and shared a taxi back home with him and one of the girls he 'chose' for the evening (of course he went to hers...no threesome action occurred...though she'd have been well up for it).

Was pretty surreal.

Awesome band.

Great story - I've seen them 5 or 6 times and bumped into them in a bar after one gig. My other half ended up basically babysitting Norwood's daughter for most of the evening.

Tbf I only saw a replay of his studs working away on the guy's leg. Didn't see the whole thing...too many tabs on the go tbh.

The Alpine Messi with a hat trick.

Ricardo Rodriguez has played well again.

That's how I saw it. I was surprised that Valencia took the red card so well.

Plus Varane is better on his own than all four of our centre backs together.

What band are you talking about and who is Angelo ?

From the way people on here are getting his and Koscielny's back at every opportunity you'd think they were both Spurs players.

 

[thinktank]

oops

 

[Beni]

Being half English and half Italian, the last thing I'd want is France to win the World Cup. But think I'd cope if I could say that a spurs player lifted the World Cup

This game reminds me of Eng v Honduras friendly. No one cares no one trying and lots of hard tackles .

 

[thinktank]

What band are you talking about and who is Angelo ?

Fishbone/lead singer.

 

[jondesouza]

What band are you talking about and who is Angelo ?

Fishbone - and Angelo Moore, the lead singer. The best band you've (probably) never heard of.

 

[spurs9]

Ricardo Rodriguez has played well again.

If we only signed 1 player this summer, I would want it to be Ricardo Rodriguez . How is Schar playing?

 

[DuDe]

That's how I saw it. I was surprised that Valencia took the red card so well.

Friday, he'll be on a yaght off the coast of Brazil, drinking Margurita's, eating lobster and getting blowey's from South American supermodels ...

So yeah, under the circumstances I think you can see why he took it well.
