Embrace it, Brits.

You error was putting god between brackets.

Pirlo is amazing. 110 passes, 102 completed, 92.73% completion.

That's insanely high if true.

 

[blazeuk]

The day Rooney retires from international football is when we can move on as a team and begin to improve it, he's never been good enough for England and it's been made worse by every manager being too afraid to drop him despite his performances getting more and more terrible.

 

[UrbanRats]

Oh man, i sooo wanted that to go in.

Oh well, not the best game of the WC so far, but i had fun.

 

[Messi]

Eamon Dunphy just said he thinks the world cup should only be played in Europe. The heat is unfair on England.

Muppet.

 

[LTWheels]

Lol, Rio trying to defend Rooney.

 

[Vinegar Joe]

So Rooney is the fall guy, right?

Yeah he sucks and is useless.

 

[Dartastic]

I feel like an idiot and I can't find the World Cup GIF thread. WHERE IS ITTTT

 

[hal9001]

A least they had a real go at it with some moments of great attacking football.

 

[Altazor]

England will never progress while they persist with the likes of Rooney and Johnson. Feel sorry for the young players like Sterling, Barkley and Welbeck.

Rooney robbing Barkley of the ball and then proceeding to blaze the ball over the bar summed up the situation in a nutshell. He's fucking selfish and represents an era of underachievement and hype. Congrats ItalyGAF.

exactly. I think Shaw and Lallana must start instead of Baines and Rooney against Uruguay.

Then again, it's Roy Hodgson.

Oh, and Pirlo truly is a bearded god. 2classy4me.

 

[Massa]

Rooney should be dropped but he wont be.

He was good. You guys are way too harsh on your team, England played well today.

 

[LNBL]

/DEAD

 

[Exterminieren]

Had Rooney been subbed at half time we wouldn't have lost that. Atrocious performance.

The kids can be proud, though.

 

[Nicktendo86]

We all know Pirlo is the one true Lord...but, the real hero of this match was England's physio.

Pirlo Bless Him.

He is the physio we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

 

[Herr K]

missed the Costa Rica - Uruguay game. what happened? fluke or deserved result?

Completely deserved.

 

[inky]

A least they had a real go at it with some moments of great attacking football.

LOL

Pirlo Bless Him.

Everytime I think of this I start giggling lmao. His face man.

 

[criesofthepast]

You error was putting god between brackets.

I didn't make it. I just Google image searched "Pirlo god" and that fittingly came up. Lol

For crying out loud, it's ENGLAND playing.

Leave the rest of out of this.

Yah okay! Embrace it, people of England.

 

[Marc]

Everyone shitting on Rio for talking absolute shite as usual.

Rooney is a choker, he can't handle it at this level. Sturridge with 1 game in the world cup, scores. Its not even that he hasn't scored, its his overall performance was total crap.

Can't criticize his workrate Shearer? Yes I can, he did nothing. Strolling around the pitch like he is the best thing out there.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Behold

Almost spit my beer out. :lol

 

[LuuKyK]

A least they had a real go at it with some moments of great attacking football.

:lol this is too good.

 

[Betty]

England played better in the second half but Italy had the better shots on goal, and Rooney SERIOUSLY needs to be removed, he's a shambles.

 

[defel]

BBC Pundits praising Rooney's work rate. I dont know who to believe any more.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Why is Great Britain allowed to split up into 4 teams. Is Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland their own countries? All other FIFA teams have to be for the entire country. Therefor team England represents Britain

 

[il Diavolo]

Italy is always so casual, love it.

Often too casual. Always giving supporters heart attacks.

 

[metareferential]

My god that free kick.

Boring match, Italy played the clever way in the second half.

Uruguay-England will be a bloodbath. It's win or go home.

Costa Rica was impressive, Italy should not underestimate them.

 

[Ser Goje]

He was good. You guys are way too harsh on your team, England played well today.

How was he good?

[Mastadon]

sterling and johnson want shooting. never seen them play so poorly

What? Sterling was England's best player by a mile. He was at the centre of every positive attacking move we made. Not sure what game you were watching.

Go to Wikipedia, or go back to elementary geography classes. ;-p

 

[Omega Ultimus]

I believe it was locked yesterday. Modbot said one WC thread was enough.

 

[LanceVance]

I bet Rooney pays the BBC pundits to only say positive things about him

 

[The Omega Man]

Andreino da Bresciaaaaa <333

Behold

These pictures should be added to the dictionary under "man" or "real manly man"

Seriously?

 

[ActStriker]

Where's that pic of Captain Tsubasa Pikachu with his arms folded?

 

[Error]

That 2010 Nike commercial cursed Rooney.

 

[dallow_bg]

Costa Rica's manager: lol

''What counted is that we stayed calm and kept creating opportunities against a very tough team,'' Pinto said. ''We have great respect for Uruguay but we weren't that impressed tonight.''

 

[Loris146]

Andrea Pirlo DIO. I like more than him only one player , Ronnie but is retired sigh...

 

[painey]

What? Sterling was England's best player by a mile. He was at the centre of every positive attacking move we made. Not sure what game you were watching.

He got the ball in an attacking position, he did some step overs, he lost the ball. That shit is great against Norwich, but not Italy.

BTW England your defeat was foretold.

Come on man lol

 

[WorldStar]

This Italy team is shit, England should have no problem with them.

lol is that so

 

[Massa]

How was he good?

Nice movement all around, he was involved in several of the opportunities created by his team and he gave a fantastic assist that resulted in England's goal.

 

[LNBL]

lol is that so

 

[The perfect Dark]

WC 2010: 9 goals after 7 matches
WC 2014: 25 goals after 7 matches.

Holy shit.

Pls stop. England do not represent us.

 

[UrbanRats]

My god that free kick.

I'd be ok if we lost we Costa Rica.

Kagawa hattrick incoming

He is broken beyond repair. Another Moysi victim.
