Welcome to Urban75 Davis
You will fit right in

 

[Badgers]

I am one thirty second part Italian. Can I switch allegiance or is it too late? Quite like pizza which should set me in good standing

 

[tommers]

And he said unto him "You will deny me three times before the cock crows" and Peter did not believe him and was sore afraid.

 

[Voley]

Thrilling stuff. I nodded off and missed the last half hour.

I'm opting for Belgium on the basis of the Spurs contingent.

 

[Badgers]

The start is near

Not to worry, Raheem Stirling is apparently "as fit as a flea"!

How do they measure the fitness of a flea?

Fucking hell that pitch looks terrible

[Lo Siento.]

"fears" for who? More likely to worry Italy, surely?

 

[tommers]

Why? We're not a long ball team

 

[Badgers]

Not much talk of Smalling?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Not much talk of Smalling?

Let's keep it that way.

Fucking hell that pitch looks terrible

Specially constructed for the 2014 World Cup, the 46,000-capacity Amazonia Arena had been held up as an example, having been one of the first new stadiums in Brazil to break ground.

Makes it sound like a Crystal Maze zone.

Wayne Rooney news conference at around 17:30

 

[Supine]

For the record i think Roy is a crap manager. Hopefully he will prove me wrong.

I like Roy

Any man who can take Fulham to the Europa Final (and only lose by one goal in extra time to Atlético Madrid) is okay in my book.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Just been reading Wayne Rooney's comments from earlier today - apparently Italian defences struggle against pace. Well, now I have absolutely no concerns about our tactics for a match in the fucking Amazon...

Predicting the line-up for Thursday

Hart

Johnson Cahill Jagielka Baines

Gerrard

Oxlade Chamberlain Sterling Lallana

Sturridge Rooney


With Uruguay having to beat us by 2 goals at least to have a chance, they will push forward and leave gaps in the defence. Henderson will be rested and we'll play the one holding midfielder allowing us to play three fast attacking midfielders behind Sturridge and Rooney (restored to centre forward).


Would be nice wouldnt it

 

[tommers]

Isn't the ox injured?

 

[mack]

Isn't the ox injured?

He's training but still strapped up - I don't think he'll be ready in time.

 

[Lord Camomile]

So, team against Costa Rica?

I hope Lambert gets more of a run out, fucker deserves it and he might just get us something!

Also, Oxlaide-Chamberlain perhaps? And James Milner!

Don't play anybody over 27 years old. Let the youngsters have a pop.

Rickie Lambert is over 27 you heartless bastard

 

[goldenecitrone]

Rickie Lambert is over 27 you heartless bastard

34 for the Euros, 36 for the next world cup? Nah, sorry Rickie.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Don't play anybody over 27 years old. Let the youngsters have a pop.

Yes. I'd like to see Shaw have a go, Barkley get a full game, and Oxlade-Chamberlain if he's fit.

I suppose that means you have to have Jones or Smalling at right back which is pretty uninspiring. Although Johnson should be out anyway.

ETA: Actually you'd need them as the centre-backs. Which leaves, er, not sure at right back. Are there actually enough players under 28 to make a team?

 

[Gingerman]

England are now counting the Costa their world cup failure.....gets coat
