[manwithnoname]

Hopefully get home in time to watch the Irish. Hope they do well.

 

[dmishra]

Are there any good Czech players coming through? Barely recognise anyone in their squad.

 

[Modo]

Get ready Ireland.

 

[ILD]

SHANE LONG'S ON FIRE,
YOUR DEFENSE IS TERRIFIED.

 

[Modo]

Crappy screen dump, but this is what football is all about.

 

[James]

Were we linked with Nolito? He looks fucking terrible.

 

[willby]

Spain vs Czech.. now there's a proper borefest.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Spain playing keep ball but haven't been overly impressive.

Similar to the Germans yesterday though, you get the feeling they still haven't gotten out of third gear yet & are playing the long game.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Took them long enough like.

Missed the entire second half thanks to stupid school getting out time being placed seemingly to cause maximum disruption to my football viewing. I jokingly asked the teacher if they'd move it to ten to three instead of quarter past & she took it seriously & practically told me off.

 

[gkmacca]

Spain bore me to fecking tears.

 

[Judge Jules]

Overall yes, but I can't help enjoying watching Iniesta. The art that conceals art.

 

[gkmacca]

The thing that gets me is that all of that build up play, being smart and precise, is of no great help if the final ball is no smarter or more precise than that of most other teams. And mostly it isn't.

 

[cloggypop]

What a miss

 

[Modo]

Fuck we're wank

 

[Rosco]

If the island of Ireland gets two points between them i'll be surprised

 

[gene hughes]

Shut up Ross you big Shoneen.

 

[Cerberus]

Fuck we're wank

I'm quite surprised at just how terrible you are. You're making us look good!

 

[gene hughes]

Sweden doing a rope-a-dope thing.

Either that or Jeff Hendrick and Wes Hoolihan are silky players

 

[manwithnoname]

Kallstrom is one of those unfortunate one-footed players whose foot is total shite. He's incredibly useless.

 

[cloggypop]

Kim Kallstrom must be older than Roger Milla was by now.

 

[manwithnoname]

Kim Kallstrom must be older than Roger Milla was by now.

Milla is probably still twice as quick. Kallstrom is actually possibly worse than Lucas.

 

[Cerberus]

Kallstrom was ace on champ manager 01/02

 

[Modo]

Kim Kallstrom must be older than Roger Milla was by now.

Pretty much. One of the most overrated players in modern times

 

[gene hughes]

Didn't even realize that guy was playing. Didn't Houllier want him about 15 years ago?

 

[Rosco]

Didn't he sign for Arsenal at some point ?

 

[cloggypop]

Pretty much. One of the most overrated players in modern times

Still can't work out what he was doing at Arsenal.

 

[manwithnoname]

Didn't even realize that guy was playing. Didn't Houllier want him about 15 years ago?

Possibly. He actually signed for Arsenal on a free not so long ago, but he was injured and only played once or twice.

 

[Whirly]

ESPN comparing Ibrahimovic with IKEA and ABBA

 

[Woland]

Good stuffs.
