[Rors]

Quite looking forward to this actually.

Tahiti :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I used to think Tahiti was in Hawaii. :unsure:

I say "used to" as if I mean when I was 8. What I really mean is about a week ago.

[GP]

Tahiti is the largest island in the Windward group of French Polynesia (an overseas country of the French Republic), located in the archipelago of the Society Islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is the economic, cultural and political centre of French Polynesia. The island was formed from volcanic activity and is high and mountainous with surrounding coral reefs. The population is 178,133 (2007 census),[1] making it the most populous island of French Polynesia and accounting for 68.6% of the group's total population. Tahiti was formerly known as Otaheite.

But that's just off the top of my head.

[Xhaka Can’t]

You are so learned.

Garfield wanted to swim there once.

[Xhaka Can’t]

That's nothing.

I wanted to swim there twice!

[Rors]

That's nothing.

I wanted to swim there twice!

That wins. Sorry Jim Davis..

[GP]

That's nothing.

I wanted to swim there twice!

On a monday?

It's like you can read minds.

"What do you expect from this game?" "Well I hope it's entertaining". Shearer, that's not what you were asked, nor is it the point. ARGH

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Speech by Blatter, huge boos from the crowd. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Commentary is completely out of sync.

1-0 Brazil, what a goal from Neymar.

[The Wengerbabies]

1-0 Neymar

[Rors]

For goals where the commentary is ahead of the action, that's a winner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Steve Wilson say drive twice or was that resetting the commentary to fit with the action? :unsure:

[Rors]

Did Steve Wilson say drive twice or was that resetting the commentary to fit with the action? :unsure:

I hope the latter..... :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That's actually the first time I've seen Neymar do something good.

[Rors]

That's actually the first time I've seen Neymar do something good.

Likewise! I was about to type the "Neymar rule" (Every Time I Have Watched Him He Has Been Quite Shite Really) about 20 seconds before the goal. it'll keep.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tahiti can't make it to the World Cup. :(

[Rors]

Tahiti can't make it to the World Cup. :(


Garfield :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Love the info for this programme.

Alan Shearer provides expert analysis.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Likewise! I was about to type the "Neymar rule" (Every Time I Have Watched Him He Has Been Quite Shite Really) about 20 seconds before the goal. it'll keep.
You'd have though he must have something about him for Barca to splash out so much. But what that is I'm not exactly sure.

It wouldn't be the first time Pele got it horrible wrong...

[Rors]

Colombia :haha:

African World Cup Winner by end of the 20th Century :haha:

Poor old Edson..

[Rors]

Oh, and Nakata one of the "Greatest Players Of All Time" :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Colombia :haha:

African World Cup Winner by end of the 20th Century :haha:

Poor old Edson..

It's Nick Barmby I feel sorry for...

[Rors]

It's Nick Barmby I feel sorry for...

"I like Butt"

His worst faux pas of all... :lol:

[Rors]

That weren't bad!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Sing Along with Horrible Histories!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

..... Please bring technology in!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yes nothing to discuss because of technology in football. What a load of cobblers.

And Shearer admitting his professionalism - down the pub on a Saturday night.

[Rors]

Impressive Mowbray :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Touch, touch, touch.

BANG BANG BANG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great touch from Fred with his ted apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Touch, touch, touch.

BANG BANG BANG.

And Hansen's:

Boomp Boomp Boomp.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can confirm we will get something similar to 45 minutes in the second half.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And Hansen's:

Boomp Boomp Boomp.

And Lawro

Why am I here talking to you?

[Rors]

And there's another!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 2-0 Japan, Paulinho!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elves. :lol:

Uh huh.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Neymar seems to be very good at the pointless little tricks and flicks that get on the highlight reels but never actually goes anywhere or does anything because of them.

Not to mention his "pinpoint right foot" corners which don't actually find a Brazil player.

[Rors]

The ultimate YouTube player....

"Barca" know what they're doing. Just the player for a few rabanas when 5-0 up with ten minutes to go against Alicante in Copa Del Ray Third Round...

[Rors]

He's not a million miles off the new Quaresma (who he?)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jo coming on. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'm sure Keown said 'Loscari' :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal fan in the crowd. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 3-0 Japan, Jo!

Me. :haha:

Great work from Oscar.

[Rors]

:faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 3-0 Japan, FT.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Apparently Neymar's goal involved "technique".

[Rors]

"They're all professional footballers! Of course they should have 'technique'.We don't have to be told that". Dad :bow:

[Rors]

"The keeper should save that". Just go away.

[Cripps_orig]

Highlights at half 10 on BBC 1

[Cripps_orig]

Shearer and Savage are the pundits

[Cripps_orig]

Did the commentator just say 1-0 Japan when Neymar scored?

Very good goal.

****

[Cripps_orig]

Keeper should do better for Paulinhos goal

[Cripps_orig]

Oscar is awesome

Good goal from Jo

[Cripps_orig]

[Rors]

Sound cutting out?

[Cripps_orig]

It is for me

[Rors]

"Is he still playing?" - My dad on Buffon. Fair question.

[Cripps_orig]

"Is he still playing?" - My dad on Buffon. Fair question.

Your dad :pal:

Maccys dad :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Corona saves from Balotelli.

[Rors]

Commentary this time yonks BEHIND the action.

:doh:

[Rors]

Your dad :pal:

Maccys dad :bow:

You can have that one ;-)

[Cripps_orig]

Corona flaps at a shot but gets it away eventually

Balotelli with 3 shots already

[Cripps_orig]

Guadardo hits the bar

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

There seem to have been technical problems with every match so far from Brazil; pictures breaking up, showing us Chiles' lunch, commentary way out of sync that sort of thing [well it's only 3 matches but still] regardless of it being on BBC or ITV. Which would suggest it's a problem over there.

They better sort it out by next year.

[Globalgunner]

Balotelli is looking good. Something to do with having a normal haircut for once

[Syn]

Come on you pedros.

Come on lads, lets smash the racists.

[Rors]

Just wait for the "England Will Be Ready To Host It If Necessary" headline in the red-tops in November...

[Globalgunner]

Chiellini fouls duff santos. living up to his reputation as the hardest man in football.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Balotelli fouls someone after losing possession.

You could just tell that was going to happen.


Just wait for the "England Will Be Ready To Host It If Necessary" headline in the red-tops in November...
To be fair I'd quite like that to happen. And by the sounds of things, from our glorious press granted, Brazil will need to get abit of a move on.

[Syn]

Boring as fuck. But with ****s like De Pussy there, what can one expect. Waiting for Spain-Suarez at 11pm. Watch our carthola put himself on the map.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Pirlo :bow:

Where's Ox when you need him?

[Cripps_orig]

Pirloooo

What a free kick

0-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a freekick from Pirlo. :bow:

[Syn]

Pirlo :bow:

Has really kicked up a gear since Oxlade embarrassed him.

[Cripps_orig]

Kilbane says its a great start for Mexico.

[Rors]

That's the way. Not sure why Corona tried to head it clear, but never mind.

[Syn]

Ruthless hack by de Rossi on juan. Don't know how he has avoided a yellow.

[Globalgunner]

That's the way. Not sure why Corona tried to head it clear, but never mind.

Hilarious. He simply gave up on it.

[Rors]

Pel!

[Cripps_orig]

Mexico penalty

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barzagli. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

1-1

Hernandez scores

[Globalgunner]

Dos santos fouled. Chicharito scores.
Checking the crowd. Not a single sombrero in sight. . Fake Mexicans.

[Syn]

Mexican no.11 is having a hilariously bad game.

[Rors]

Not bad, not bad at all

[Rors]

Hartson picks out..er..Balotelli. Why do I feel Hernandez has been the pick of the Mexico players for him too..?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:lol:

Corona just gave up.

[Rors]

"Pelanty" :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hartson says pelanty. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lawro on Brazil: Good going forward, not great defensively.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Here's Lawro to brighten everyone's day.

[Rors]

Lawro on Brazil: Good going forward, not great defensively.

And now mentioning "Suarez and Forlan"..

[Rors]

Here's Lawro to brighten everyone's day.

Looks like he's been enjoying the beano we've paid for...

[Cripps_orig]

Watching Spain play tonight would be a good way to go to sleep

[Cripps_orig]

Voted brazil 1970

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Looks like he's been enjoying the beano we've paid for...

How very cynical of you.

He's been sweating over an in-depth tactical review of Uruguay.

[Cripps_orig]

Watching Mexico just isn't the same

Need Blanco and Campos back

[Rors]

Pirlo :lol: He's done.

[Cripps_orig]

Montolivo should do better

[Rors]

Watching Mexico just isn't the same

Need Blanco and Campos back

Garcia Aspe :bow:

[Rors]

Donkey kick please Pirlo...

[Globalgunner]

Mexico need to bring back the keeper with the Technicolor outfit. The world needs him.

[Rors]

Mexico need to bring back the keeper with the Technicolor outfit. The world needs him.

Campos :bow: (Although he was copying Cordoba of Colombia a bit)

[Rors]

Mazza :haha: Mellowing clearly..

[Rors]

"Are the two of them Super Mario?" <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mil Mascaras. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf was that?

Worlds shittest drop ball contest?

[Rors]

Mil Mascaras. :bow:

Don't tell Mick!

[Rors]

Muh.

[Cripps_orig]

1-2 Italy

Balotelli

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I think that World Cup trophy was fake.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Balotelli. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Balotelli can't help showing off his pecs. One day he will score while on a yellow, and get himself sent off. Good goal tho. The goal was needed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balotelli off, Gilardino on.

[Rors]

"Gilardini" on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can't wait to watch Tahiti.

[Rors]

Tahiti :lol: Bless 'em

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giaccherini off, Aquilani on.

[Rors]

Aquilani :faint:

[Cripps_orig]

Liverpool legend is on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/68206000/jpg/_68206138_018336194-1.jpg

Legdrop afterwards wasn't captured.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mexico 1-2 Italy, FT.

[Cripps_orig]

1-2 FT

6 goals in 2 games

3 goal average

Time for a Suarez hat trick to keep that average up. Spain to bore the fuck out of everyone

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soldado starts. :faint:

[Cripps_orig]

No Cazorla

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain: Casillas, Arbeloa, Sergio Ramos, Pique, Jordi Alba, Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas, Pedro, Soldado, Iniesta.
Subs: Valdes, Albiol, Javi Martinez, Azpilicueta, Villa, Torres, Mata, Monreal, Cazorla, Silva, Jesus Navas, Reina.

Subs: Castillo, Coates, Pereira, Eguren, Forlan, Hernandez, Aguirregaray, Lodeiro, Arevalo Rios, Scotti, Gonzalez, Silva.

Referee: Yuichi Nishimura (Japan)

Spain's bench is ridiculous.

[Cripps_orig]

How is Javi Martinez not in the Spanish team?

[Cripps_orig]

Shearer and Poyet are the pundits

Where the hell is Hansen?

[Cripps_orig]

We all Uruguay fans?

[Munchies]

Totally forgot about this.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22929003
BBC Stream

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez's save. :haha:

[Rors]

"Suarez etc". I pay for this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer gets as far as naming Suarez from Uruguay's attacking talent.

[Rors]

Where the hell is Hansen?

Could well be on his way....

[Munchies]

Just looked up on this tournament, just remembered the final when USA were 2-0 up in the final against Brazil back in 09 (... and lost 3-2)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think Spain are going for a third World Cup on the spin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Players aren't singing Spain's anthem again.

[Munchies]

Show me Santi already

[Cripps_orig]

Show me Santi already

He's not playing and doubt he'll come in so we won't see him til next season

[Cripps_orig]

I forgot we had Monreal.

Is he even there?

[Rors]

Players aren't singing Spain's anthem again.

Shameful...[/Clive]

[Cripps_orig]

Del Bosque hasn't won 3 of the biggest trophies back to back either

Pearce :doh:

[Munchies]

I forgot we had Monreal.

Is he even there?

On the bench :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shameful...[/Clive]

:lol:

And yes Cripps, Monreal is there.

[Munchies]

Del Bosque hasn't won 3 of the biggest trophies back to back either

Pearce :doh:

His days as a Robot Wars commentator :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro hasn't had a good season for Barca.

[Munchies]

Also , why aren't England in this tournament / how do they choose the nations ?

[Cripps_orig]

His days as a Robot Wars commentator :bow:

I've always known him as a football commentator before he hit the big time with robot wars

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Also , why aren't England in this tournament / how do they choose the nations ?

You have to host the World Cup, win an international tournament or reach the final and hope one team wins both the World Cup and European Championship (like Italy have).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba cross, goes right across goal.

[Cripps_orig]

Decent cross from Jessica alba

Soldado just couldn't reach it

[Cripps_orig]

Also , why aren't England in this tournament / how do they choose the nations ?

Hosts plus winners of euros, copa, acon and the Asian, North American and oceanic version

[Rors]

I can see why it has to be held there of course, but if the Confederations Cup was played in a country not hosting the next big tournament, then I think it could gain more in importance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should have been held in Tahiti.

[Munchies]

Ah I got it now thanks ^^

[Munchies]

Lawro 'I must have missed the other 8% when Uruguay had it'

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc smacks the post!

Iniesta's dummy. :bow:

[Rors]

Cue your mocking laughter...

[Munchies]

Cesc ... post

Cripps will take the piss now :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain are hammering them.

[Munchies]

Cesc is playing good so far, winning the ball back, all over the place.

[Cripps_orig]

I can see why it has to be held there of course, but if the Confederations Cup was played in a country not hosting the next big tournament, then I think it could gain more in importance.
Can't see that happening. Fine the way it is tbh although they should make it compulsory for the countries

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a move. Iniesta shoots at the second attempt, Muslera saves it, kinda.

[Cripps_orig]

Muslera is a decent keeper.

worth a watch

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta. :cloud9:

[Cripps_orig]

Ah the typical he scored in the final so must be MOTM bs Iniesta has lived off for the past 3 seasons

Pearce is having a shocker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain 1-0 Uruguay, that has to be an OG.

[Cripps_orig]

1-0

Pedro does a Lampard.

[Munchies]

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

[Rors]

You don't score deflected goals Spain. Come on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I keep thinking it says recipe in the middle.

[Cripps_orig]

Pearce praising Xavi for basically being ineffective

[Munchies]

Fucking hell, Lawro and his one liners are gold :lol:

About Casillas making up with Moreinhoe
'Now that he's gone'

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Spain, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fairly close from Xavi.

[Cripps_orig]

Xavi tries a Pirlo but is nowhere near as talented.

Keeper knew it was going miles off target

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roman Reigns booked.

[Cripps_orig]

Cavani booked

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

[Cripps_orig]

Spain acting like ****s

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Cavani, completely fluffed it.

[Rors]

Roman Reigns booked.

:lol: I kept waiting for Ramirez and Suarez to help out with the triple powerbomb, but no dice...

[Cripps_orig]

Half hour in

No surprise that Spain's best players are once again Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos and Soldado.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain 2-0 Uruguay, Soldado! What a move.

Iniesta and Cesc. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

2-0

Soldado

[Rors]

Onside too. What a beaut.

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant vision?

It would have been harder to not make that pass

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia will probably need to sell players with not making the Champions League. Their financial situation is not good to say the least.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lugano. :haha:

Having a mare.

Scoring goals against his team and defending well for the opposition.

[Cripps_orig]

Pedro :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soldado had a good season for Athletico says Pearce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique should've scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lugano booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soldado. :lol:

FFS.

[Cripps_orig]

Lugano booked for no reason.

[Cripps_orig]

Xavi :lol:

He is horrific

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain 2-0 Uruguay, HT.

Uruguay were little bit shat on.

[Cripps_orig]

2-0 HT

Uruguay very poor

Spain average

Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos and Soldado :bow:

[Munchies]

Suarez :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Didn't see ****esc hit the post :haha:

He is horrific

[Cripps_orig]

And the BBC proving my point on why Iniesta is overrated.

hes done f all. They showed highlights of him doing f all and yet he is praised

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sign up the Tehau Bros.

[Cripps_orig]

If Tahiti score a goal v Spain, would that be the biggest shock ever?

[Rors]

Bailing out for bed. So much for me being ready for 2am kickoffs next year :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramirez off, Gonzalez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Tahiti score a goal v Spain, would that be the biggest shock ever?

Until they score a second, probably.

[bunsco]

Muslera is a decent keeper.

worth a watch

Not even worth the strap. And just what is your beef with Spanish players?

Your obviously a WUM or a footballing bafoon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soldado so close.

[Cripps_orig]

Bailing out for bed. So much for me being ready for 2am kickoffs next year :lol:

Banning offence surely?

[Cripps_orig]

Not even worth the strap

On the basis of this game?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lawro. :haha:

Isco is busy in Israel you berk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Waste from Cesc there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Close from Iniesta. His ability is awlsome.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific freekick from Xavi.

[Syn]

Cesc has turned into a very good striker. Fantastic game from him today. Little bit showboaty but undeniably a quality performance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gargano off, Lodeiro on.

[Munchies]

Cesc has turned into a very good striker. Fantastic game from him today. Little bit showboaty but undeniably a quality performance.

Without us, he'd be shit :good:

[Cripps_orig]

Lawro. :haha:

Isco is busy in Israel you berk.

I've lost interest so was playing Songpop whilst the game is on. What did he say?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great move from Spain again. Pedro with a bit of a scuffer at the end.

[Cripps_orig]

Without us, he'd be shit :good:

He is

Cazorla coming on

Cesc hauled off

[Syn]

Without us, he'd be shit :good:

We can't take all the credit. Stoke have played a big part too.

Cesc replaced by the far superior Carthola. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I've lost interest so was playing Songpop whilst the game is on. What did he say?

It'd be good to watch Isco or something that suggested he was on the bench.

Cesc off, Cazorla on. :bow:

[Munchies]

Santi :bow:

[bunsco]

Cesc was very good tonite. End of.

[Cripps_orig]

Cazorla MOTM so far

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla would've had an assisting the assister there.

[Cripps_orig]

Forlan is due

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez off, Forlan on.

[Munchies]

Forlan, thought he retired :lol:

Flop at United
Legend everywhere else.

[bunsco]

Cazorla MOTM so far

Very good :)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos is such a scrote. Gets away with it again.

[Syn]

No real force in that challenge. Still, someone with the experience of Ramos shouldn't be making a tackle like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Javi Martinez on. :bow:
