World Cup 2014 Brazil

[Don't panic]

what a miss by rooney!

.......

and immediately punished by suarez.

England are a rather terrible team for what they're paid. Oh well, still 1-0 so far. Still a chance to redeem themselves yet.

are they paid?

rooney determined not to score in a WC. SMH

 

[Kariya]

Should bring Ox and Lambert on. Starting to get bored of this. Glen Johnson is not a great RB as far as I'm concerned. There have to be better options.

Might be more productive to do some laundry.

Has the English league really fallen behind that much?

EDIT: About time.

 

[roadbloc]

Finally a goal

 

[Don't panic]

finally rooney!

 

[bmt134]

I'm tired of seeing Uruguay and Sturridge flopping around.

 

[Kariya]

*facepalm*

 

[twietee]

Suarez most clinical player in the world! Totally amazing! Will he stay in Englang?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

are they paid?

Yes and no - the players are paid for representing England, but for many years they players have donated their monies to charity.

 

[smithrh]

Can someone explain to this non-fan how that Suarez goal wasn't offsides?

Ball came (unintentionally) by an English player, Gerrard I think.

 

[Apple fanboy]

Gutted. Absolutely gutted. Why do we always blow it?

 

[balamw]

Correct

Offside only applies at the time that the ball was last touched by an attacking player, not after the touch.

The goalie was the last attacker to touch it.

[oscillatewildly]

Rooney's fault; when he scores in the World Cup, England lose.

 

[Apple fanboy]

Ball came (unintentionally) by an English player, Gerrard I think.

Correct. Please call time on your international career. It's time.

 

[smithrh]

TY - so if it had come from a teammate, then offsides.

I think I got it, but for such a simple rule....

 

[Silencio]

England, like Spain, undone by conservative and overly-sentimental team selection.

 

[Kariya]

Is that curtains for Hodgson and Gerrard then?

 

[twietee]

England, like Spain, undone by conservative and overly-sentimental team selection.

True, but for very different reasons.

 

[Don't panic]

Yes and no - the players are paid for representing England, but for many years they players have donated their monies to charity.

in any case? i think most of other countries have prizes (sizeable at that) only in case they win/reach some agreed goals, but not just to be there.
granted they all make enough money on their day-jobs.

Come on Greece!

The first player to be red carded in a World Cup match?

Marvelous.

Marvelous.

First Greek to be sent off in the World Cup finals. Although it's only their eighth match, so it's not as it's a proud, longstanding record.

Zzzzzzz this match signifies the reason why soccer will never catch on in the US.
