2014 FIFA World Cup

[Meacon Keaton]

You can only blame the manager so much when the apparent eleven best footballers the nation can provide CANNOT PASS A FUCKING FOOTBALL. The blame lies much deeper than the bloke on the bench in a suit.

I wasn't really blaming him for this one match. I more meant, wouldn't a manager more in his prime/or successful be suitable for a country that prides itself on football?

[Gorka]

The defending corners are starting to get embarrassing.

Fuck me, Suarez nearly catches England out from another corner. Amateur from England.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Uruguay appear to be time wasting already.

There is no English manager who is good enough, and all the good foreign managers have the common sense to know that the England job is a poisoned chalice.

Costa Rica will beat us at this rate.

Did they really just call that good goalkeeping?

He started five yards out of his goal and then palmed it down into the 6 yard box...

[Chris2K]

This is really, really bad now. Everyone looks clueless.

[GoGo Yubari]

oh my god come on Cavani

[Arjen Robben]

Farcical defending from England.

This tactic of not putting an unmoving man on the front post to defend a corner is rather intriguing.

[Lineker]

Farcical defending from England.

I wouldn't even justify it by calling it defending.

Rooney's looked our best player from what I've watched (from like 30 mins onwards). He and Henderson are just about the only bright sparks.

He's given it away about five times, shown some terrible touches and fallen on his arse at least twice.

They're so bad the opposition have nearly scored two corners. Not from corners. Actual corner kicks.

[Chris2K]

Great save, although it was fairly close to him.

[Lineker]

fuck me sideways

[Mad Jack]

Better.

[Meacon Keaton]

Oh my

[King Ellis]

Damn, thought that was gonna be the monkey off Rooney's back there.

[Gorka]

If the front three also bothered to do something close to movement rather than wait for the ball then collapse, England could get something.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The only explanation is that Wayne Rooney has been struck by a gypsy curse.
