Should have put the two t**ts off.

Exactly. That play acting shite does my head in (if you excuse the punium)

[blewuporstuffed]

a justified red for Pepe, but i can see why he was so angry at Muller.pathetic stuff

[From the Bunker]

Pepe is not the cleanest of players, but that was a harsh red?

He deserved it for being stupid enough for putting himself in the position where he gave the Ref a decision.
He was foolish to put his head in.

Yeah, but in fairness Muller made a meal of both incidents. But as you say, Pepe gave him the opportunity!

George Hamilton was going on about how the home support were all behind the Portuguese yet the entire stadium seemed to be booing Ronaldo for that free kick 

[From the Bunker]

Jez, Ray Houghton is a dose. Every word is critical! He picks a theme and sticks to it. Determined to prove this theme is correct as the game goes on. And sure then there is George!

[beer baron]

Am i alone in thinking Ozil had a good game today? Dunphy at half time and Hamilton when he was being substituted were both critical of him but i thought he's improved a lot from his form in the few friendlies,involved in a few of the nice moves around the box in the 1st half.

Iran vs Nigeria up now. I have to support Nigeria as a prince from that country has entrusted me to receive $85,000,000 dollars to my bank account which I will receive half just for giving him my account info to hold the money while he escapes from the King -his Uncle.
UP NIGERIA!!

Teams are in for the first game of the day. 5pm kick offs on a weekday are a pain. Sky Plus, the answer to all of life's problems.

Germany
Neuer, Howedes, Hummels, Khedira, Ozil, Muller, Lahm (c), Mertesacker, Kroos, Gotze, Boateng

Portugal
Patricio, Alves, Pepe, Veloso, Coentrao, Ronaldo (c), Moutinho, Almeida, Meireles, Nani, Pereira

Should be a good game. Surely Germany will be too strong for a team with Meireles and Nani in it?

Portugal are more like a mid ranking club team with an Allstar

Like Galway

I think Portugal will beat both these teams even in crisis mode. USA seem ok attacking but so skittish at the back. Ghana just a bit too reckless but could steal this one. They have a goal in them.

Yanks lucky to get out of that one alive.
