Suarez is a certified BEAST.
Seriously, I feel really bad for England.

Wow! What a goal! England are probably toast.
Bye, England. Bye.
Aw maaaan!!! I was betting on 1:1!! That sucks … for England too, of course ...
5 Minutes left… let's see if Engalnd can change the outcome, or if it's time to say goodbye too.
Suarez sinks England….... hehehehe
Suarez man, the boy's too good
It hurts to see us play well and show so much desire… and then lose anyway.
I think we can hold our heads much higher than Spain for the way we played.
Suarez, though... what a player. His class made all the difference.
Well done Uruguay.
We're not quite out yet though, as long as Italy beat both their opponents.
Huh, so England isn't out… yet.
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:They still got a chance to go through of about 0.5% ….
Suarez learned the most important thing for any attacker, while playing in Premier League: how to score when he's not marked. Seriously, that guy will score any goal if he has the chance.
wait what how can England come back :o
After Rooney Scored I thought we'd go on to win this…wishful thinking
Edit: Manager thought the same lol

Double Italy win and a victory against Costa Rica
England’s problem laid bare - not a single world-class player.
Except Ashley Cole. Chuckling in front of the telly over a pina colada.
I CANT BELIEVE IT! We can't believe it!!
I bet you guys didn't know there was an Uruguayan One Piece fan lurking around here, but here Iam! Happy like a two tailed dog!
haha

We can share tekila since I live in mexico, :)
Good match, really, it was heart stoping.

Double Italy win and a victory against Costa Rica
The criteria is
1- points
2- Goal difference
3- Goals scored
So even if Italy wins vs CR and Uruguay, and England beats CR, it may still not happen.
Assuming the victories over CR are both 1-0, they will have a GD of 0 and England -1. Thus England is out.
But considering how the tournament is going, i doubt there will be a lot of 1-0 results.

Well cheers

Hahaha classic!
…why does Scotland hate us? :sad:
ugh, England sure are so unlucky even though they played fairly well. Why does there have to be a slight chance of them getting through? It won't happen and my day will be ruined. :getlost:
Today (technically yesterday) was a great day. First Colombia, and then Uruguay followed, and followed with a don! And even England showed their best game in years.
After so much excitement I just don't see Japan and Greece coming anywhere close.

Feels like an Australian fair well, since they lost both their games but still scored goals and performed magnificently.
And yeah my mistake Italy will have to smash both teams out of their goal difference to give England a bigger chance.

Fixed for you mate!
Wow, another big name probably out. The last 20 minutes of the match were really cool to watch, England really came through after their first goal. Too bad they couldn't take it home.
They could still make it though, I heard the conditions and it doesn't seem entirely impossible… In any case it'll be suspenseful so I'm curious to see who will make it to the next round!
Uruguay would deserve it more than England though.
By the way, apparently the father of one of the players of Ivory Coast died just two hours before their match today, and he still played? That's so sad... Poor guy.
Watching Japan vs Greece anyone?
Didn't know that Greece ranked 12th in FIFA ranks. Surprising that they never made it to 16s
But then again Spain was rank 1 on FIFA lol.
I really don't know who I want to make it out from group D. First there is Italy who I always support. Then there is Uruguay who seem to have finally found their game. And of course Costa Rica, the little outsider darling who charmed everybody with their first match. Even without England, someone will have to fall there and it won't be pretty.
Fixed for you mate!
You certainly aren't wrong there, but that happened on Wednesday, and here I talked about Thursday. Viva Chile anyway!
And Greece is down a man
Is it just me or are there so many red cards in this world cup?
Greece is just not doing well.
I have a hard time seeing either of these teams making it to round 2. Ivory Coast is much more dangerous, they'll tear Greece apart.
edit: yeess, that's good guys, just get a tie and ensure Colombia's classification. Mwahahahaha!
Greece has been playing bad, but Japan has been playing worse.
Let's just say that Ivory Coast and Columbia are making it out of that group.
As much as want Japan to advance, they don't deserve it after these 2 matches. They can't even score a goal against a weakened Greece.
Columbia and Ivory Coast will make it.
Time's up Japan :)
Heheheh
Ffs guys, it's Colombia. Get it right.
/pet peeve
yohhoohoo my bad
Holy Fuckin shit, i hate Mexican fans. They are doing a TT called #TodosSomosPutos defending the use of Puto in the matches and called the FIFA hypocritical. My problem with it? A few days back a conservative fraction of the legislative power created a comission solely dedicated to fight against gay marriage and abortion. Really, those are the only points in the agenda and the "mastermind" behind it is a guy that is totally corrupt. Where were they then? Fuckin' nowhere because no matter what they say, Puto is a degrading word and it reflects the poor human rights situation of a group of people. In this case México.
Sorry, had to vent it and this is the FIFA World Cup thread so…
Why do they use the word puto and why do you/people think they shouldn't? I know what it means but I don't know when and why it's used in this context.
Well, it's always been used as a means to taunt the opposing players and they say it's because it means coward but it's really a word constructed towards homophobic views and don't really add anything to the game.
Shame England went out, but I still have Switzerland and I'm really hoping they can pull through against France. I didn't see France vs. Honduras so I don't know how well they did, but I'm guessing considering France's up and down pattern in world cups that they'll be doing really well this year
Shame England went out
Believe it or not, we're not out just yet. XD
We have 3 last chances.
This is what we need to happen:
Italy thrashes Costa Rica
Italy thrashes Uruguay
We beat Costa Rica
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teams would all have 3 points, so the highest goal difference would go through.
Unless that scenario perfectly plays out and we get a miracle, THEN we're out. :D
I'm going to be honest, that second Uruguay goal was fucking delicious.
As Bane says, there can be no true despair without hope.
I was eating up Adrian Chiles' despair like it was goddamn spaghetti.
I heard Suarez was awesome, but holy shit.
I wish Croatia had someone like this. But we lack a real goalgetter ever since Suker left.

Very true, Mandzukic is a good forward, but he really doesn't score enough goals.
Your midfield is goddamn awesome though.
England's defeat is mainly due to Roy Hodgson's tactics. Roy's doesn't know where to play his players. Rooney on the wings is the most stupid thing I have ever seen. What does Welbeck offer? Play Barkley instead of him. What does Glen Johnson offer? Wilshere should have been subbed for Henderson. Lallana should be given a chance. Gerrard's natural position is attacking mid, but he's bad in defensive position.
Also, English media tends to overhype their players as well as overprice them. Lallana for 30 mil? That is fucking stupid. That puts up a lot of pressure on the young talents. Rooney was yesterday's scapegoat, now today is Gerrard, then it will be Wilshere, Hart, Bench, Ball, Net and then finally grass. Look at the premier League. No breakthroughs, no technique, no mental strength etc. Barely any English talents are nurtured. Most of the teams are made up of mainly non-English players. England should really revamp their domestic league and allow their own players to emerge for Christ's sake. And this is not only the case in football. Look at cricket and Tennis.
No way is England going to win any international competitions if this continues.
Time for Italy to win another match. 2-0 is my prediction.
The guy on BBC(Gary Lineker) is wearing an Italy shirt.
I predict 4-0…
There's no way Costa Rica is winning with what they have and how they're currently playing, but I sure hope they can.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Well I may stand corrected! What a pretty goal. Italy really isn't giving it their all, both on offense and defense. Seemed to me like CRC could barely make it out of their half of the field, but they somehow scored first anyway.
Looks like another surprise!
And England is losing all chances of staying in this tournament.
