World Cup Match Thread Day 8 - Thursday

[CosmicHotspur]

I was in the wrong thread!

I'm not sure about that whole James or "Hamez" Rodriguez malarkey. The commentator uses the pronunciation of Thierry Henry as an example saying how it's the same as calling him "Terry" but is it because they are spelt differently.

 

[Gassin's finest]

They should have carried on playing with that massive inflatable ball! Far more entertaining.

Miserable twat whoever popped it.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Colombia looking a bit tasty. But I'm not counting Cote d'Ivoire out at all.

 

[LSUY]

The BBC are going to get into trouble with FIFA for referring to the Cote d'Ivorie as the Ivory Coast.

But Henri is pronounced Arn-ree, not Henry.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Zokora doing his stuff nicely there.

 

[tobi]

Nuts!

 

[DuDe]

But Henri is pronounced Arn-ree, not Henry.

The Irish pronounce it very, very differently.

 

[Gbspurs]

But Henri is pronounced Arn-ree, not Henry.

True. I guess it's probably right but it just sounds so pretentious.

 

[crokey]

nice

 

[CosmicHotspur]

The Irish pronounce it very, very differently.

Of course, they pronounce it Gin-ess.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

True. I guess it's probably right but it just sounds so pretentious.

Not if you speak French.

 

[Coyboy]

I never considered how Colombia would effectively have home support in this World Cup. Need to check a map for the next few World Cups.

Bahrain to win 2022.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Was Zokora that effective with us?

 

[DuDe]

Nice break and good defending.

 

[DuDe]

Was Zokora that effective with us?

Sometimes, yeah, from what I can remember.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Zokora, the one-man wall.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

"He was trying to escape"

 

[Bus-Conductor]

This Columbia/Ivory Coast is a really even match up, shaping up to be a cracking game.
