Winner takes all :popcorn:
Suarez to win it.
As for the England game, play everyone who hasn't played/started yet. Play as many "kids" as you can. Nothing to lose.

Foster, Jones, Cahill, Smalling, Shaw, Wilshere, Lallana, Milner, Lampard, Barkley, Sturridge
Honest Franks last game for England.
Bye.
Costa Rica: Navas, Gonzalez, Borges, Duarte, Campbell, Ruiz (c), Brenes, Diaz, Gamboa, Tejeda, Miller
England: Foster, Cahill, Wilshere, Lampard (c), Sturridge, Smalling, Jones, Milner, Lallana, Barkley, Shaw
Come on Joel Campbell :bow:.
Italy: Buffon, De Sciglio, Chiellini, Darmian, Barzagli, Bonucci, Marchisio, Pirlo, Veratti, Balotelli, Immobile
Uruguay: Muslera, Godin, Caceres, Gimenez, A. Pereira, C. Rodriquez, Lodeiro, Arevalo, Gonzalez, Cavani, Suarez
I think The Italians will eke out a win. 3-1. Bartoli, Darmian, Immobile, Cavani.
LOL - forgot these shits were playing. Will watch for a laugh.
We're so...average.
Is that the England fans booing? LOL, why?
Campbell likes dropping deep. Giroud like quality there.
And Jack needs to get on the ball more .... seems to be hiding away too much for liking. Demand it and dictate the match.
Are the England fans really signing, "Who are ya?"
Who they are is the team that qualified, playing against the minnows who didn't.
Doesn't have that in his locker tbh.Quote:

Foster > Hart
Would have actually turned over to the cricket if it wasn't for wanting to see Campbell play again.
Exaggerated fall by Sturridge but probably a penalty.
Would have been a soft pen if given. Sturridge a bit quick to go down.
Chris Smalling is terrible. Can't pass the ball out of defence to save his life.
Thank god we missed out on him.
It's shocking when you think of the wages these England players get paid every week, an then they put in a showing like this on the big stage. They really are the ultimate in hype.
Wilshere has definitely lost a yard of pace. Affects his whole game adversely.
That sums up England and Jack. Sure it was a poor ball from Milner but Jack's got to have some responsibility of making sure he's in space to receive it.
If that was Cesc or Rambo they'd always be looking around and ensuring they were free to receive a pass.
Smalling :haha:
What a waster.
Another ball hit out of play by Smalling. Why do we even bother .....
Really poor by Lallana - another super hyped player.
Hope Liverpool spend their 30 million on him. Best bit of business Southampton will ever do.Quote:

Unfortunately Milner is starting to look like one of the squad's best players, that's how bad the rest are.
Sigh ...... as expected a boring game from England. Going to switch over to the cricket.
Forgive me NQ.
Costa Rica are just going through the motions.
It's okay, I'm a Croatia/ Mexico veteran so this is actually incredibly exciting.Quote:

Farmyard football. Costa Rica can't be arsed, England doing what they do best - grinding it out with little imagination or technique. Very dull.
Chiles is happy at half time, plenty of chances apparently. Not sure what game he's watching but glad he's enjoying it.
Keeper denies Sturridge, poor first touch from him or he might have scored.
Jack just flops to the ground looking for the FK :doh:
Yellow for Barkley for blatant shirt pulling. Shaw should have been booked too for some serious hackery.
Awful by Lallana - commentators love it even though the end result was garbage. I think all you need to do is run fast in a straight line and you are viewed as a serious talent.
LOL - commentators looking for a red after a standard trip. "Brutal" apparently.
Lumpard blasts the FK straight at the wall.
