i have £10 on Neymar to score in 90 mins (tomorrow) @8/11 :dance::dance::dance:

[Calderyon]

Brazil will have a relatively easy ride, probably have clean sweep with three wins. Croatia and Mexico will battle for the second place and probably draw their reciprocal match together, so the goal difference might be important and the match against Cameroon will be important in terms of scoring. I think Croatia will advance.
Cameroon will battle hard and can tease/frustrate them, but sadly i think they will finish fourth with 0 points and three losses.

[Shaun]

Think Croatia'll grab a surprise early Mandzukic goal but then get demolished by Brazil 4-1 :pipe:

[Novo]

Dancing Cows

[Drew.]

I used to have one of these balls, time to bring them back into trend.

[Locke.]

Good old Croatia to piss Brazil off even more

[Drew.]

CAROLINE!

[Brother Leon]

Miserable ****ing bastards...Iwish we could have a WC.

[Ninastar]

why are people protesting?

[Shaun]

general way-of-life/social issues being ignored in favour of forking out millions on a football tournament I'd imagine.

[Locke.]

Thought there was actually serious reason for them all being pissed off about it.. Doesn't seem like.

[Ninastar]

general way-of-life/social issues being ignored in favour of forking out millions on a football tournament I'd imagine.

[Drew.]

they should sit the **** down, at least they arent in africa

Wise words

[Chuck]

Minimum wage in Brazil: R$ 800 (200 pounds)
Cost of the World Cup : R$ 30 billion

People haven't protested enough

[Brother Leon]

The Senegal V France match :lovedup:

Watched it during lunch at Primary school. Good memories.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Not sure about the eyetie on the panel

[Novo]

LOL I remember exactly where I was as well when Senegal played France, must be one of those things

[Shaun]

I was in France at the time, everyone was moody in retrospect. Only caught glimpses of the group stages on the radio on the coach.

[Shaun]

Neymar's already buggered up his ankle. Tournament over.

[Drew.]

Get Kaka down from the stands and get him on that pitch

[Shaun]

He hasn't retired yet, has he?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Love the Aldi Graham Taylor ad

[Drew.]

He hasn't retired yet, has he?

Think he might have now since he wasn't in their WC plans.

[Vanessa]

What time is the match?

[Ninastar]

anyone elses signal ****?

or is it just my horrific luck?

[Novo]

I swear to god if Boughie gets injured on these bog standard pitches I'll be sueing the Brazilians for neglect of a legend, they'll have even more to complain about

[Chuck]

[Calderyon]

What a shot! Great goal, but goalie was soft though.

[Vanessa]

This referee! :joker:

[Shaun]

well that was a good enough game to kick us off. plenty of drama, a fair bundle of goals. lovely.

[Drew.]

Great game & a great start to the WC, shame about that bollocks decision to award the pen though, killed the game off.

[Locke.]

This is a pretty average Brazil side really outside of 2-3 players, sadly they are going to be helped along all the way to the final anyway.

Good finish from Oscar for the third but the keeper still should have saved it. Croatia look good though, hopefully they recover and get through.

[King Gizzard]

Cannavaro is a bit useless isn't he
