I think this has roots a Millwall chant (seems like all good UK punk is West Ham or Millwall), but I love it @hayvis, @chi-bob.



Also this:







anyway, I await the fatalist musings of the england guys. Go nuts

Millwall 'No-one likes us' is normally sung to "We Are Sailing". Millwall, West Ham and Chelsea are the punk/hooligan clubs. There's still a whole cultural (uncultured) thing with West Ham fans, and Millwall and Chelsea fans to a lesser degree. Millwall because they are a smaller club, and Chelsea, because they are now more popular.

I held off making this one because I was hoping for some God Save The Queen and pictures of the commonwealth posted by one of the Brits.

That aside, this is my favorite group at the cup, and probably the real group of death. I wouldn't be shocked nor disappoint to see any of these 3 end up in the final or with the trophy at the end of it all. They're also all just as likely to bust out before Quarters. Costa Rica and Keylor Navas' amazing keeping are the wild card here. Uruguay will be without Suarez today, so I wonder just how many goals they can put on them. If CR actually manages to grab points, surely they'll knock someone out inadvertantly.

Very tough group to predict, but:

Italy 2-1 England
Uruguay 3-2 Costa Rica
Uruguay 1-1 England
Italy 3-0 Costa Rica
England 4-2 Costa Rica
Uruguay 3-1 Italy

Uruguay 2-1-0 7pts
Italy 2-0-1 6pts
England 1-1-1 4 pts
Costa Rica 0-0-3 0pts

You could honestly swap any of those around though. A draw in Manaus tomorrow would make things more interesting, but it's such the obvious pick that there's 0% chance of it actually happening.

I love how yanks completely ignore defensive capabilities when making any assessment. I think England might bomb out at the group stage, but Uruguay lift the world cup or even go beyond the round of 16, with that crap ass defence is a bit silly.

Unless this is me whooshing on INGERLAND, Uruguay's defense isn't what I'd call crap ass. Godin was pretty damn good for Atletico, Muslera in goal starts for Galatasaray, an Maxi Pereira started pretty consistently for Benfica.

Is Woy going to play the young guys or is he going with the old guard? Does he have the balls to bench Rooney for Barkley?

ETA: Buffon out for the game tonight. Will miss this.

They played with three centerbacks for basically every game of note in qualifying.

Only real difference is Duarte in for Acosta(and obviously no Oviedo hurts).

Campbell with a half dozen of the worst touches you'll see this tournament and it's only 20 minutes in

Uruguay looks pretty awful. No idea how to attack this defense. 5 defender puber tactics

Damn Campbell can shoot. HHHHHHUUUUYYYYY

WTF are the Costa Ricans shooting from 35 yards on every counter?
Probably think they need another goal to seal it/the guys that have been shooting have basically been alone on the attack/too early to try and time waste.

i.e. that last attack no one else got forward
