sparkeh Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Favourite quote quote on Brazil v Mexico Pat Nevin - 5 live The real disappointment for me was Fred. The comer flag moved better than he did
nikaso Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I do like an underdog and to see the much hyped Brazil kept to 0-0 by a very good Mexico was brilliant. I feel bad Mexico didn't manage to convert any of their chances, that would really put the cat amongst the proverbial Scolari

CAM Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Sadly one of the big World Cup fears have been realised. BBC News - 'Fatalities' after blast at Nigeria World Cup TV venue
aworkc Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 It's not happened in Brazil, it's happened in Nigeria. It's not really the fault of the world cup.... Of course it's still tragic.
CAM Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I know where Nigeria is! Still related though, that part of the world is unstable and it was inevitable that people would gather to watch a game and some militant savage would take advantage of it. This is the same group that attacked schools and kidnapped the children before selling them into slavery.

This is the same group that attacked schools and kidnapped the children before selling them into slavery. I'm aware of who the group are.... Had those people gathered to watch Nigeria play a friendly the same thing would have happened. As you said this place is unstable and it was inevitable that something like this would happen (whether the world cup was on or not) I think the fears of the world cup were protests, riots, gang crime and such in Brazil. As I said it's tragic but I wouldn't say that it happened due to the world cup
APMerry Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I heard the commentator say during the Brazil game that there was 20 murders reported from Friday to Sunday in the city the game was being played. Think i'll stick to being an armchair fan...

Think i'll stick to being an armchair fan... Yeah, I think that's pretty normal in Brazil, don't fancy it too much myself either. I think the pub is a much better idea

visioN Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 My bets aren't going too well this world cup! I had both teams to score in the Brazil Mexico game!
rickjames Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I did, enough to put £5 on Chile at 4/1. Also had a tenner on Croatia to win with Mandzukic to score anytime at just over 3s. Quitting whilst I'm very much ahead.
Earthling Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 So Spain out already. Did not see that coming :s One less for England to worry about on our march to World Cup Glory.
rickjames Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Also Cahill's goal was an absolute belter I'm far too on edge for tonight; still no expectations but can't help but be nervous about it. Turning up for once would be nice though.
sparkeh Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Ah yeah awesome goal. I feel for Australia, they deserved something out of that game Regarding tonight, I think we will be ok, Uruguay had their 'dulce de leche' confiscated, apparently they can't perform without it: BBC News - Uruguay squad's caramel spread confiscated in Brazil
aworkc Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 I think we'll be fine tonight, I think 3-1 England and Rooney will score (Assuming he's playing in his proper position and not thrown out on the left again).
foofighterjim Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Difficult one to predict you could justify almost any score (within reason). Will England live up to their potential or will they buckle under the pressure? 0-0 then.
SiliconAlley_Sam Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 You should probably take all these predictions over to our competition! I'm thinking 2-1 England and I think the last 10/15 minutes are going to be that heart-attack inducing, bum squeaking, can't quite watch type of football.
featured_spectre Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 You know, I was just thinking, it must be very embarrassing for Spain to be beaten by 2 countries they used to own...
rich_tech Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 my interest in football comes and goes really here, love rugby and always have (part of being welsh), I do love a world cup though and its unpredictable nature, that being said, Spain last night didnt even look bothered when they went out, they lost last week I think. Mighty tense night for a lot of English fans though, nice not too have the ridiculous hype and expectations this time around in the media though
