  1. Oh forgot he played for Surrey! Its the newer batsmen like Ballance, root, Robson and Ali that have impressed this series.
  2. Are there any Surrey players worth picking? Just really pleased for Moeen. Have been watching him since he was 16....
  3. What a magnificent innings from Moeen Ali. Always knew he had the class but not this type of temperment and patience. pity Anderson was out two balls from the end but great test.
  4. I think Chile are more of a one or two man team than Brazil. Brazil have players like fernandinho who don't start. Can't see a Chile win. Neymar is loving being the main man unlike at Barcelona where he wasn't that impressive.
  5. yes surely they have made a mistake then.
  6. I think its Fortaleza at 1pm local time...... So its hot there isn't it? Still fancy Brazil and Holland to go through though
  7. surely Jones will play cb and Smalling rb... Glad Shaw is playing but too many changes for me. Don't want to end up with three defeats, that would be embarassing.
  8. No I think they were about 4/1 at Lunch and I thought about it..... Ben Stokes 7 wickets today.... Could come back into the side against India, maybe instead of Jordon who I think has been poor this match.
  9. Yes 100% agree with you Dave
  10. Should be free. The game could be over in less than an hour. I hope Root, Moeen and Prior put up some sort of fight at least.
  11. Its down to our bowling today. How many sides have scored 350 in the 4th innings to win a test match! Prasad has been excellent. Also credit to Matthews. Excellent cricketer and much better batsman than he's given credit for.
  12. Robben is the most exciting player in the tournament.
  13. Yes I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter who the manager is its not going to make much difference. We don't have enough quality English players. Lack of choice in the cb position. Few options up front and lack of quality in the centre of midfield. We build up players too quickly in this country. I rate Sterling but he has looked good alongside a world class player in Suarez for his club. Barkley is over-rated at this stage of his career. He is certainly a long way from being the next Gazza. Welbeck just isn't international quality but what choices do we have Lambert ffs. A player of his ability wouldn't get anywhere near the squad in years gone by.
  14. Yep Gerd Muller will always be the greatest ever German striker
  15. Yes and they will most probably go through as group winners and play Ghana or USA (Portugal) which they should win and then are in the last 8... This there only Belgium stuff is lame because this is the best group of Belgium players ever and they did reach the semis in 86... You're right of course it's a bit lame, but it wasn't all that serious either. Today they were very much like Belgium has always been though. My feeling is that there's been too much talk of Belgium as the surprise team of the tournament. I'd take the other side of that trade. Yes I just think that look the best in the groups usually don't end up winning it...This is such an open tournament its hard to pick a winner. I don't think Belgium will go any further than the semis but I couldn't pick a winner.
  16. I would argue that the substitutions have made a massive difference in their two games. In fact they have scored all three goals...
  17. Yes and they will most probably go through as group winners and play Ghana or USA (Portugal) which they should win and then are in the last 8... This there only Belgium stuff is lame because this is the best group of Belgium players ever and they did reach the semis in 86...
  18. I'm not so sure. I think this is what they are. Villaajax has a point, it's Belgium. Too many good players. They have one of the best squads in the competition. So many good players they can bring on to change a game. We seen it in world cups before. Teams that look crap in the groups can improve and do very well. Italy in 82 is a prime example.
  19. Its not how you qualify its just getting through thats inportant. Belgium need to improve and they will.
  20. Yes there was always hope back then because clubs basically only generated money from gates and we had the potential for as big a gates as any club apart from maybe Man U. NOW unless we get a new owner with major investment we can't compete so its boring as hell....
  21. Seen Half Nelson? Lars and the real girl? Drive? Ryan is a pretty good actor to be fair. agreed. He's a very good actor, in fact. He always makes me cry in The Notebook. No matter how many times I watch it. The believer, notebook, half nelson, lars and the real girl he was very good in. i didn't rate his performance in drive. Since he had that break for a couple of years after walking out on the film the lovely bones, he hasn't been the same to me. I thought he was going to be much better than he is based on his earlier work... A bit like Ed Norton really.
  22. Yes clear penalty. Iran really unlucky. Great goal Messi but he hasn't been the outstanding player in the tournament yet. Aguero didn't turn up again and I think they need him to if they are to wn the tournament.
