You bunch of fucking squares are born for second round defeats. Richie Legend is a born winner. Born. Winner.

Gareth knows who's right, just all depends on his stones now

Is that your guitar wanking name?

More like a post-Albion Megson, playing cunt's tricks for zero reward...

I am actually back in a band now, and I used that as a stage name :icon_lol: #epicbantz

Didn't think there was a big call for Proclaimers tribute acts, fair play.

I can't believe I let this guy beat me to the PTG title. I'm so ashamed.

This tweet apparently shows Messi making the subs and the Argentinean manager asking if he was bringing on Aguero

Tim Vickery was saying last night on 5Live that Mascherano and a couple of the other senior players picked the formation and the team too, Sampaoli is an empty shell at the moment.

well its on to the lottery knockouts after this next few days and I really dont care who we face. Brazil are capable but havent looked great. Germany look fine going forward but havent kept a clean sheet this year, Argentina scraped the group qulification because others failed to capitalise not because they played particularly well in any game, although they did improve against Nigeria- still nothing to worry about. Portugal still rely too much on Ronaldo, Uruguay look tired and inflexible, France dont know their best team or best way to play,Russia have home advantage but after that arent that good , England themselves look frail at the back at times and imbalanced if Young plays on the left , Belgium after tomorrow we cant meet until the final and they have some of the best talent across the park. In knockout football anything can happen as we all know. VAR will have an influence. Someone will get sent off. One team will get a lucky break. One team will scrape through on penalties becuase the other failed to take their chances during normal time and extra time. It will happen. As an England fan I hope we get the luck, dont concede the penalties, dont get players sent off and beat whomever we face. We are surely due a bit of luck against many of the big sides. Portugal and Germany have done us on penalties, Argentina with the hand of god and Beckhams petulance plus Sol Campbells header being wrongly ruled out, Uruguay last time, maybe it is our turn for the gods to smile. Thats what it needs. You do not win world cups playing great football. Thats Holland 1974 and 78. You do it with luck and hitting the right form in the right moment thats Italy 1982 and 2006

That must be the reason Mascherano got a game. He was terrible.

Müller, Draxler, Rudy/Gündogan and Rüdiger dropped, not sure how Khedira has got back in after he was so dire against Mexico.

Rotation? Think everyone is doing it.

If they're already through, sure.

Germany aren't. Löw just doesn't know what his best team is.

 

[Freddeno]

COME ON SWEDEN

 

[Nando]

Good luck, Fred!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Is Low not too bothered about winning the group? There is still a significant risk of Germany not qualifying here. Risky.

 

[Johnny75]

Good luck Fred

 

[Freddeno]

Good luck, Fred!

Thanks Nando, and Johnny!

Last night RTE showed pictures of Sampaoli coming out 5 mins prior to the players at half time, then in the concourse the players were all in a circle with it looked like Messi and Mascherano giving a team talk.
