FIFA World Cup 2014

Posted by: Chris Dolan on 18 May 2014

Atletico Madrid win La Liga and Arsenal sneak the FA Cup. Citeh's money taints the Premiership - sadly.

 

So who is going to win the FIFA World Cup (sponsored by McDonalds). Is Suarez is going be the top scorer - or would he fail to score with Jordan? Eddie that is 

 

Well it's being held in Brazil - the smell up coffee and wake - imho - what do you guys think?

England clearly more disciplined and focused. Italy look like they are taking a short holiday  .

Well in a competition of 'cool', England could never hope to compete with Italy (or quite a few other nations).  Have always thought Pirlo is the epitome of 'cool' as he strolls around in midfield, seemingly in a different time-zone to other players. I shall look forward to seeing him strut his stuff in this world cup.

Chris Dolan,MDS,

in fact.That's what I meant while uploading this pic.Did you have any boubt?Can I say I prefer the English style?It's just a simple thing and has got nothing to do with the match itself in Manaus.My last reply on 02/06 was clear:"Italian players are not so DILIGENCE in the first matches.They usually start playing more seriously when they need  to win:in or out".Maybe I'm not right but I believe in what I write,just to be coherent.

In observation of Argentina's 'back line', I notice one of them is wearing black socks. Is there a reason for this?

The undertaker is Ray Wilson, greatest English leftback, he's partly obscured by Jimmy Armfield's hand

Bad news, then more bad news regarding England.

 

First Wellbeck's injured and will miss Italy game.

 

Now, he's fit again.

Forgive me but if you take that erroneous perspective the first bit would be good news?

Yes, but there is no rule against posting entirely gratuitous pictures, is there?
