Tuesday's match thread

[RP]

Everyone knows the situation in Group D I guess. Just the one set of perennial under-achievers is already out of the running.

 

Group C - Colombia through, likely in top spot, any of the other three teams in the group could still join them. Gotta fancy Ivory Coast.

But only 2 kick off slots instead of 3

[Swan Red]

and one of them is later than it needs to be

[Hassony]

happy with the 9pm kick off

 

would have rather they moved the 5pm kick off by an hour

[Billy Dane]

Is anyone actually going to watch the England game?

[Swan Red]

No.

Only the last 10 if they aren't winning and the other match looks settled.

Are you kidding?

Not a chance.

It's quite reasonable really. Everyone gets a gold star and is made to feel part of the group.

 

In fact, one of the players has his family over - I think his lad has been promised a run out in the second half.

Last time I looked Costa Rica were still 3/1 to win. On the double chance market they are probably 4/6. I might have a big bet on that if they are picking a strong team to ensure they win the group.

They are 7/2 and better than evens.

good lord no. uruguay - italy will be far more entertaining and i'm looking forward to seeing suarez and cavani against italy's defence.

Call me presumptuous but I have a sneaky feeling Cobs might just give it a passing glance. ;)/>

f*** that.. Suarez is on!

[Boca]

Couple of tasty challenges on Suarez already

[aka Dus]

5pm KOs a pain in the hole.

[Rodgers]

Very subdued so far between Italy and Uruguay, not even any atmosphere. Hopefully theres a goal soon to liven it up.

[Boca]

Can't see Italy - Uruguay ending 11 v 11.

I can see a couple of goals maybe, but certainly not that many.
