shit we're onto england in less than 30 seconds

prediction - 3 mins talking about this match, 11 mins talking about england, 1 min talking about how unfortunate it is that we have to watch this match again

preference for the bbc is admirable but that build up to algeria-slovenia was criminal; basically laughing about how little they knew about the two teams and shearer admitting "not much is known about them". i'm sorry but the only team you can claim that about is north korea - bbc had rights to...

i'm not a fan of lahm but he does well in tournaments. i honestly believe england would beat germany if we play them.

gerrard and lampard is so no no NO. we cannot play without a holding midfielder. it would liberate ashley cole so much and we need him to push on.

can someone please explain the thinking behind why lampard-gerrard apparently worked today? because as far as i can see central midfielders are meant to dominate possession, and they gave it away and failed to win it back way too often, and let their attackers have free runs at our back four...

yes. i wish commentators would bloody shut up.

their best shooting opportunity of the game?! they've got memory like fish!

they're all dreadful. jonathan pearce just can't do television commentary, he talks too much. barry davies knew how to do tv commentary. he barely said a word.

he's from yorkshire isn't he?

got to agree. i'm longing for mark lawrenson here which i never thought i would say. they're clearly watching a different game to me, at one point they said something like "it's all being played in nigeria's half" what the hell?

on tonight: usa have been talked up a lot. i can't really see it happening.

oh come alan shearer isnt that bad buhdumtsch one for the purists. from a 17 point of view arévalo played well. uruguay won't be too upset, but after the sending off they were impotent and could have been there for the kill but france were dreadful. anelka trying to dribble through three...

problem is the two best sides there are ghana and the ivorians, and they've got the toughest groups. put ghana in instead of nigeria and you've got a decent chance there. also, world cup on african soil is cool. but berlin is as close to lagos as johannesburg

right result. carlos vela must get fucking sick of playing teams where they just pass the ball around and never score any damn goals

and dance dance revolution

i spent bloody ages on the top trumps last night. i will post the whole set once we've gone through the whole round of matches for me the closest groups will be group A and group F. i seriously cannot wait to see marek hamsik in action. i think the 3 way battle between denmark, cameroon and...

couldn't disagree more. group d looks rubbish. serbia, defensive, australia, defensive, ghana, defensive. germany are quite attacking but seriously, can see a lot of stalemates in that group.

didn't realise there were statistics available for wage bills. are there?

definitely agree with you
