According to Mr Kilbane anyway

I must have watched a different game to them last time out as i thought he slowed the play enormously, which was very detrimental to Spains game.

Still, what do i know


I have been one of the biggest Iniesta fans over the past decade or so. Absolutely loved himin his prime. Probably my favourite player outside City. BUT he is DONE. He has just hit the stonewall. Way too slow now.

Iniesta is another one who has now retired from International duty

Is Modric not 30 or thereabouts?
And Rakitic has not set Barca alight.

Think we will stick with Silva, Silva, KDB, Fern and hopefully Jorginho.

Two boring games so far tonight. This world cup has been great so far, but I hope it won't fizzle out.

I find rakitic one of the most loathsome footballers I have ever seen. He's no more than a diving cheat, a wankstain on the soiled Y-fronts of the beautiful game. You can't tell how good a player he actually is because he spends all his time on his fucking arse, complaining about something imaginary and trying to get an opposition player booked or sent off. What a turd he is.
Your right leg I like; I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is neither have you.

Tonight’s game was set to be an absolute corker with two goals in the first four minutes but it’s just kind of fizzled out. Expect it to go to penners again which as a neutral is no bad thing

It isn't about being a hard man at all Mase. This idiot has twice now aimed the ball , with full power at the head of a player on the floor. The player would have no chance to protect themselves. Caught on video twice with his snidey attacks. What sort of warped mind does this ?

Fortunately the second time, yesterday it was a typical bad shot from him and he missed the head of the player.


Haven't seen any of this world cup mate, apart from the odd 10 mins here and there whilst messing on my phone, so I can't comment on anything he's done.

My comment was that I don't know why people call him a fake hardman. He's never claimed to be one.



Well he's a very naughty boy!


He's bloody cool though.


Looked well cool as the PSG express breezed past him and his pals.

Ratboy must be a Marxist - he just said that Croat Mandy looks alienated. Bang Olufsen looks good though.

How about yesterday? Two end to ens thrillers.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

If u don't give a red card for that you may as well leave it in the changing rooms.

Seriously can't see how there was no red card there.

Interesting choice of kit colour for Croatia, though, considering their history.

They are talking about some rule change on telly here. Must've missed something.

Not giving a red there is a travesty. This fucking rule is absurd.
Look at this replay and how he got just a yellow reminds me of that red card Boyata received a few years ago vs Arse at our home in the first minutes.
