Good match Wales congrats!

Man I fucking hate Wales. Supporting England though. What the fuck is Hodgson doing? He needs to play two up front and get Rooney to fuck

Hate Wales but support England? I'm shocked! I'm struggling to muster any enthusiasm for England, Woy has ruined it. Our boys seem to be getting battered off the pitch as well. Embarrassing the behaviour as usual.

Yeah I'm not a typical Jock. I really hate Ireland and Northern Ireland too. That's pure jealousy, our team is as good as any of those three but they got the job done and we didn't.

As far as England goes, it would be totally hypocritical of me to watch and enjoy those lads in the premier league every week but then suddenly hate them when they pull on an England shirt.

The issue jocks have with England is your media more than anything else. Hype everything, totally over-critical when it goes wrong and always think they know best. They need to fuck off. The team themselves are totally inoffensive.

Sare yin.

Sterling needs to get to fuck. Most overrated footballer I've ever seen.

Vintage England that, and any team with 5 spurs players is massively offensive trust me!

Freak how did they blow that...

The bolded answers your question.

John Brooks you magnificent bastard!

While I agree he was amazing, no love for Dempsey.... :fighting:

Sorry had to.

He did something with the pass! Passing, something Dempsey could learn to do

Wood has promise, I like the mix of experience and youth to pay off for the Yanks, but don't see them getting much beyond the quarters if they can manage another win.

Should be interesting we will get either the loser of Peru vs Brazil or Ecuador. Two very tough matchups.

Agreed @OldSchool, I think the Brazil Peru game yields a winner leaving us playing Ecuador who should handle Haiti.
Just a hunch though.
To me it appears like we need to keep our shape and spacing and do a better job with the build up.
Our passing up front could be a little sharper also, more purpose but what do I know.

Bad break for Brazil but it lays even more credence to the adage, leave the refs out of the result.

 

[OldSchool]

Now this is just a filthy volley I don't remember the last time I saw one this perfect.

First premier league game of the season if anyone is interested? Some pretty (big) tasty games there.

So Hull City, Burnley and Middlesborough won advancement? Welcome to the show I look forward to learning your teams. It's one thing I really enjoy with the Premiere League the new teams each year and seeing new players.
