World Cup: Group A Discussion - Brazil vs Cameroon & Croatia vs Mexico -

[Drew.]

Cannavaro is ****ting himself from these rocks getting pelted at him

[Chuck]

Pretty average Brazil side > everybody else

[Drew.]

Chiles asking Dixon for his opinions on Rooney and all of our known players and Cannavaro about Sterling, Welbeck and Lambert tonight.. 3 players he hardly knows anything about.. ITV are terrible.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Absolute disgrace referee, Croatia robbed. Very lucky win for Brazil who were shown up for how poor they are

[King Gizzard]

how nice is ITV's score thingy in the top left corner :lovedup:

Shame about there theme tune being a bit lame and not a patch on When You Come Back

[Drew.]

Yeah the intro and theme tunes are really forgettable compared to 2010

[Vicky.]

Why are brazil 'cheating bastards'? :suspect:

I have been informed of this by about 10 people on my fb feed

[Shaun]

they got given a penalty for nothing, and Croatia had a goal disallowed (although that may be fair enough tbh) :p

[Ryan57]

Not a penalty when Fred Elliott went down in the box.

[King Gizzard]

Watching the opening ceremony now, it's ****e. Should be at night and the ground not half empty

[Drew.]

It is a waste of time Nathan

[In the Drunk Tank]

I hope the referee never has a sound night's sleep again

[King Gizzard]

Didn't miss much I gather

and I got in and skipped through the first half then watched the second half, meh

got the day off tomorrow so will watch the 3 games

[King Gizzard]

[Drew.]

Some cracking games tomorrow.

[Locke.]

Enoh Eyong to snap Neymar in half and put him out the knockout rounds

[King Gizzard]

Spain are going to ruin Holland

[Drew.]

Tomorrow is all about Mexico v Cameroon

[King Gizzard]

****ing hell what is up with the sound on this opening ceremony? It is awful, they haven't got any TV microphones, and everything is out of sync

[King Gizzard]

My dad just called Pitbull ''Spitdog'' :joker:

[Chuck]

About time Holland won a World Cup, if we dont make it, let them have it then.

[Chuck]

Have no time for African/Asian countries.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Have no time for African/Asian countries.

Quite right

[Novo]

So close to one of my 50p longshots coming in

[Brother Leon]

4-1 Holland.

[Black Dagger]

Bit gutted for Croatia tbh, the pub were going mad for them all night for some reason, when we thought they equalised :laugh:

Hopefully they come 2nd... (I don't know how strong Cameroon are, and Mexico could flop right?)

[In the Drunk Tank]

Cameroon are in the middle of a pay dispute and loads of problems in their team so don't think they'll put up too much of a fight

[Calderyon]

Predicting a tie tonight. 1-1 to be exact. Even though this is both teams first match of the tournament, it´s kind of a must win situation, since i don´t think they can match/win against Brazil and they need at least a tie against Croatia.

[Drew.]

https://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9l6b30j6h1ref1szo1_500.jpg

[Drew.]

Cameroon: Itandje, Assou-Ekotto, Nkoulou, Djeugoue, Song, Moukandjo, Eto'o (c), Choupo Moting, Chedjou, Mbia, Enoh

Mexico: Ochoa, Rodriguez, Marquez (c), Herrera, Layun, Dos Santos, Moreno, Guardado, Peralta, Aguilar, Vazquez

[Jemal]

The guy is your 3rd highest ever goalscorer why arent you starting him..

Who cares if he hasn't scored for 9 games.

[seanraff07]

The guy is your 3rd highest ever goalscorer why arent you starting him..

Who cares if he hasn't scored for 9 games.

Who?

[Drew.]

Hernandez

[seanraff07]

Hernandez

Oops :laugh:

Can't believe he's not starting, he'll come on and score though I bet.

[BigSister]

Yeah im kinda surprised Hernandez isn't starting but hopefully he will come off bench and score.
Looking forward to Holland vs Spain though.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

I predict a straightforward Meh-heeee-ko win

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Looking forward to BBC music tonight - Stevie Wonder no less

[seanraff07]

Cameroon v Mexico and all they talk about is England :sleep:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Glen thinking (Arsenal reject *******)

[Locke.]

Can't believe Charles Itandje is starting in goal at a World Cup

[seanraff07]

Eto'o is a slap on to score anytime

[Drew.]

Stuck some nice money on a 2-2

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Long day, 3 matches today and big day tomorrow. No getting caned before 11pm

[Drew.]

Cameroon are all over the place

[Jemal]

Alot of mexico fans in the stadium

[Jemal]

Also correct me if im wrong but isnt carlos vela from mexico?

[seanraff07]

Decent game so far.

Cameroon have came right back into it!

[Drew.]

Yeah Jemal, he hasn't played for a few years i dont think, cant remember why though

[Locke.]

Judging from the opening 24 minutes both of these are going to be destroyed by Brazil and Croatia

[Jemal]

Oh, this coach does come across as a stubborn git.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

I reckon the ref could play a bit part in the Eng game tomorrow

[Christmas Dynasnow]

again!

[Calderyon]

Another offside goal for Mexico. Unlucky.

Both of these teams seems to not have much of defensive play. Pretty open, which creates opportunities, which is good tv, but not good for them in the long run.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

a simple go to the 4th official as in Rugby and already the World cup would be a different tournament. Its run by fecking clowns

[Drew.]

These poor Mexicans

[seanraff07]

These officials are horrific.

[Drew.]

They make the PL officials look good

[Jemal]

If that was chicha

[Shaun]

can see this ending 0-0 :( hope Mexico take something, would be unfair otherwise

[Chuck]

yes!

[Drew.]

About bloody time

[Christmas Dynasnow]

job done

[seanraff07]

Deserved win

Cameroon were very poor, that's them out already

[Novo]

Expected a bit more from Cameroon, can't believe they defended like that at a world cup against a team they needed to best to give themselves a chance

[Shaun]

still think Croatia'll go through though... have no preference mind

[Drew.]

Brazil: Julio Cesar, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva (c), David Luiz, Marcelo, Paulinho, Fred, Neymar, Oscar, Ramires, Luiz Gustavo

Mexico: Ochoa, Rodriguez, Marquez (c), Herrera, Layun, Dos Santos, Moreno, Guardado, Peralta, Aguilar, Vazquez

[Brother Leon]

Should be a good one. Mexico usually give them a decent game.

[BBfanUSA]

Mexico hasn't been that good recently,

I think they had to get in via the OFC/CONCACAF playoff spot, and they had to rely on the US to save their butts to even get the playoff spot.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

come on BrAZIL

[Locke.]

Lets do it Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jemal]

Time for neymar to solidify his legacy

[BBfanUSA]

Mexico is my sweepstakes team but I hate them so much. (Just the team, not the country)

I'm so torn

[Drew.]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqWp219CUAAsQBB.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Didn't see this result so far coming

[Calderyon]

Brazil pretty much controlled the whole first half, with Mexico getting a few good chances on the goal. Mexico has and impressive goalie, i must say.

[Locke.]

I fully expect him to score after posting this, but Fred is terrible.

Mexico have been the better side here, just like Croatia were.

[Alf]

Mexico should bring on Speedy Gonzales (The fastest Mouse in all of Meckico)

Undelay, Undelay, Arriba, Arriba

[Brother Leon]

Fred & Jo.....Almost as bad as Almeida and Postiga :joker:

[Drew.]

Willian is needed ASAP

[In the Drunk Tank]

This keeper is the absolute wall

[Calderyon]

Incredible save by Ochoa. Still 0-0.

[Drew.]

Whattt, Ochoa is a free agent.. sign him up Arsene!!!!

[Locke.]

Well done ref for not bottling that

[Jay.]

is anyone else listening to the scott millls + chris stark commentary? it's genius.

[Drew.]

I'd rather listen to Phil Neville again

[Brother Leon]

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xk4BfZpxwjA/U6Cosr1rEJI/AAAAAAAAHsI/XbgIAUuiPM0/s1600/fan2.gif

[Calderyon]

That was a good 0-0 game, Brazil was good, but so was Mexico. Which i think benefits both teams, since it kind of forces Croatia to win both of their games. They will have trouble getting past Ochoa.

[Chuck]

Time to watch Big Brother religously

[neneu10]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqWzP7YIAAA1frh.jpg:large

[Shaun]

well this was inevitable

[Locke.]

Olic was great against Brazil, good to see him score here.

[Samuel.]

The amount of goals I've missed this World Cup from going to the toilet/getting a drink...

[Shaun]

bizarre.

[Alf]

The amount of goals I've missed this World Cup from going to the toilet/getting a drink...
Do that often tomorrow night and see if you can put a few balls in the back of the net for England.

[Shaun]

just seen the incident. What a moron.

[Locke.]

Brilliant individual goal

[Novo]

Team goal you mean, great pass from Charles

[Locke.]

Charles back to his old self for the night to get me back to winning ways

[Novo]

One more goal is all i ask

[Locke.]

A nice 2-0 will do just fine

[Calderyon]

Cameroon´s defence is terrible. Second or third worst of the tournament.

[Novo]

A nice 2-0 will do just fine

Some of us have 3-0 and -2 on

[Novo]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

[Calderyon]

Croatia leads 3-0. And i predict it doesn´t end there.

[Novo]

I predict that's all for the night

[Locke.]

Get another Olic!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

Have informed Olic to calm down a bit and not shoot on target

[Locke.]

Cameroon to get one back and kill both your bets with one stone

[Novo]

I have covered 4-1 so that might be a bad idea

[Calderyon]

4-0 !!! No one to help the goalie there.

[Novo]

Right, get 1 quick Cameroon

[Calderyon]

WTH. Cameroon players headbutting/almost fighting with each other. :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Game over. Croatia wins 4-0 against an awful performing Cameroon.

Cameroon is out of the tournament. Expecting a massacre on their next game.

[Calderyon]

#CRO LINE-UP: Pletikosa, Vrsaljko, Pranjic, Perisic, Corluka, Lovren, Rakitic, Modric, Srna, Mandzukic, Olic

#MEX LINE-UP: Ochoa, Rodriguez, Marquez (c), Herrera, Layun, Dos Santos, Moreno, Guardado, Peralta, Aguilar, Vazquez

-----------------------------------------
#CMR LINE-UP: Itandje, Nkoulou (c), Nguemo, Moukandjo, Aboubakar, Bedimo, Choupo Moting, Mbia, Enoh, Matip, Nyom

#BRA LINE-UP: Julio Cesar, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva (c), David Luiz, Marcelo, Hulk, Paulinho, Fred, Neymar, Oscar, Luiz Gustavo

[Drew.]

NEYMAR!!!!!!!!!

[Calderyon]

Neymar scores the winner of the game after 17 minutes of the first half.

[Calderyon]

Oh no!!! Cameroon just equalized. It´s their first goal of the tournament.

[Brother Leon]

It's Neymar and Robben's World.

[Drew.]

NEYMAR!!! He has well and truly delivered the goods on the big stage.

[Calderyon]

Neymar scores again!!! 2-1 Brazil. It´s his second tonight and 4th on the tournament.

[Locke.]

It's going to kick off in the second half of the Mexico-Croatia game, there have been about 10 confrontations already. More arguing than chances.

Fingers crossed for Croatia in this second half.

[Novo]

Olic twatting some Mexican

[In the Drunk Tank]

Aw

[Locke.]

If Mexico score another goal here and the Brazil game stays the same then Mexico win the group and set up Brazil-Holland in the last 16

[Locke.]

Well Brazil have ruined that. Annoying *****

[Drew.]

Fernandinho >>>>>>>> Paulinho

How he doesn't start i will never know

[Brother Leon]

Chile v Brazil

Holland v Mexico

[Calderyon]

Brazil got a good win over Cameroon and Mexico´s great second half got them through to the last 16.

Who can beat Ochoa?
