ChutneyLove Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I expect the guffs to lose by the same score they did the other day - 2-1 to Uruguay.In this group they could still qualify by beating Costa Rica in their last game though - assuming Italy beat CR and Uruguay.Hoping for the tallies to beat CR and take it easy against the Uruguayans. 1 Link to comment

England will win this easily. Uruguay were shocking in their last game. Apparently Suarez won't play tonight, but even if he did, it wouldn't make a difference to a flat midfield and absolutely horrendous defence. The struggled their way through their own qualifiers, and just as last night signalled an end to the Del Bosque Spain era, tonight will see the end of Oscar Tabarez' Uruguayan golden generation. If England score early then I fear an absolute mauling. Really worried what the pace and directness of Sturridge and Sterling will do to that defence. Hopefully Woy decides to move Rooney back through the middle, because Sterling running at Lugano is not a match-up I want to see. 1 Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hope the dagos win but canna help but think the Nigels will sneak a win. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The nigels should win this. But we've said that before Link to comment
E-P-K Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Don't think it will be this one sided as some as predicting, England are pretty average against South American teams in general, and being in South America, I fully expect England to not win tonight. Uruguay as poor as they were the other night, have also recently beaten Argies and Columbia. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I think England will win also. 3-0 and then the studio will tell us once again that England are going to win the World Cup. hopefully they win and then get skelpt by the so called minnows of the group, costa rica Link to comment
Tyrant Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Lugano is oot. Suarez not fit. It will be tough for Uruguay but I hope they can find a way to win. Finding this one really hard to call actually. I'm going for draw. Although my prediction before the tournament started was 4-0 Uru. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Find it amusing the morons on the TV saying how the weather in Sao Paolo will help England. It's the same fucking climate as Uruguay! Link to comment
Tyrant Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Find it amusing the morons on the TV saying how the weather in Sao Paolo will help England. It's the same fucking climate as Uruguay! Yet another example of the media hindering England. I had a rant on FB yesterday about the whole Wayne Rooney thing. They're making him a scape goat. He's playing out of position but doesn't appear to be moaning and is even getting assists but they're still hounding him in the press. That's not helping him or England. Fucking support your players FFS sake. Here was me actually thinking the the media were getting a bit better. Link to comment

Think the reason they've seemed 'a bit better' this time around is that England went into the tournament with no expectation. After playing so well against Italy and showing some promise, the usual suspects have began to stir themselves up! If, as I expect, they record a convincing win, against a broken Uruguay side, who are a shadow of their former selves, the hype is going to reach fever pitch! Costa Rica are an absolute rabble and England should beat them without too much trouble. By this time, there will be absolute bedlam in England. Which will make things even more enjoyable when Colombia pap them out in the round of 16. Link to comment

It's the same fucking climate as Uruguay!Roy also now saying they were affected by the climate in Manaus, despite previously saying that theyhad prepared well and it would be no issue. The reason they were affected was because Italy made them chase the ball all night. If England (Gerrard and Henderson) could keep the ball better then they may have fared better. Link to comment

Poodler Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I think 2-0 uruguay. First goal a set piece, second goal a break. I think there will be 42887 people in the crowd and Rooney will be the worst player on the park. 1 Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I hope you're not believing what the guff camp are saying SOTR? About the game against Italy being their best in years? They got the ball when they did because Italy invited them to do it. The Italians were in overwhelming control. Pirlo never ran the whole game, he jogged the match whilst in absolute command. He actually should have closed down a Nigel two passes before their equaliser, though obviously didn't think it was worth running to avoid a goal,against at that stage in the game. The guffs will get less of the ball against Uruguay, so what they do get they had better make count. Link to comment
dj_bollocks Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 There always has to be a villain in an England World Cup.... Beckham, Rooney... This time it's got to be repeat offender Suarez for a variation on an old theme... Hat trick please, and then the tabloids with some sort of quasi racist headlines such as "Louis Not Welcome Anymore" Link to comment
The Boofon Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Guffs will win convincingly. Rooney with a double. Link to comment

minijc Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Uruguay underestimated Costa Rica and put in a lack luster performance, they'll be a totally different side tonight, I think it may well be a draw, 2-2. Link to comment

dj_bollocks Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Is a draw enough to see the nigels out? Not tonight... If Italy Costa Rica draw they'll still have a chance to beat Costa Rica and knock them out... Likewise Uruguay could still beat Italy and everyone would be on 4 points... If either Italy or Costa Rica win they will have qualified 2nd place still up for grabs... I love the close margins of 3 game groups ! Out on Goal difference has a rather nice ring to it though...

StandFree1982 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I think a lot of you are over estimating how poor England actually are. This isn't the Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Owen era, this is a very very average England squad. Link to comment
daytripping Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 England will win if they play Barclay as I suspect they will. Link to comment
