What. A. Goal!!
Up there with Cahill's.
better
**** me.
The guy already plays for PSG, and ITV commentator says now the big boys will be looking at him.
Why do you hate football, ITV?
Sporting ignorance is what it is Jamie. Lawrenson is world class at it, if you don't play in England, he hasn't a clue who you are. Knobend.

He's right: Despite all their recent financial good fortune, they aren't exactly up there with the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
apparently they keep saying the premier league is the best league in the world.. just propaganda to make it seem like you get value for money when buying sky / ( bt sport)
James is pretty tasty. I hope columbia stay in to see him pop in a few more goals

In relation to history/stuff won, no. PSG not as big, but in relation to having the money to have such a player, then no. I doubt either Real or Barcelona can offer James R. more than PSG can.
James.. player of the WC so far?
Have decided to support Colombia on the basis, I like those stripey shirts.
Yes, ro5ey, given that's number 5.
On a side note, that's all my bed knackered.
Edit: Bet, even.
Roll on Friday night - Brazil v Columbia should be a corker!!
RM.

With the financial fair play regulations now in, I suspect they can offer more than PSG as their revenue is likely to be significantly higher. Anyway, I suspect the commentator was speaking with regard to club reputation, rather than financial power, as most football fans would.
I guess we'll never know.
Also, PSG have already demonstrated they don't give a sausage about FFP, with their signing of Sideshow Bob.
Has poyet been sacked by ITV for staging another dirty protest? Hopefully it was in Chiles' dressing room.
PSG are like Chelsea i.e. "nouveau riche", meaning all money and no class 
Looks like Gaston Ramirez's having one of his off days since coming on. Look out for his party trick of dribbling towards the defence, but forgetting to take the ball with him (I like the lad, he shows flashes of genius occasionally, but when he's bad...)
If only Uruguay had a world class striker.
Any one remember that old football arcade game where you had a roller ball rather that a joystick?
I just had a flash back seeing Uruguay running around with their light blue shirts and black short... they used to be a country you had to beat in that game
Anyway, as you were. 🙂
[edited to remove stupidity]
Columbia has scored two goals easily so hopefully they will do the same with Brazil.
Cummon Columbia you can beat Brazil!
.... and yes, he is a Monaco player, who are definitely not one of the "big" clubs.
I would just like to apologise for drunkenly putting James RodrÃguez in the PSG squad, last night. Of course he is AS Monaco.
...although, they are a similar new (as in loads of) money club, who could keep him purely through financial clout, but as per Mickey, he probably would prefer to win stuff.
Anyway. My slice of humble pukka pie out the way.
Netherlands - Mehico: 3-2
Greece - Costa Rica: 4-0
....and now to start drinking again 8)
Are you not getting bored with all this drinking beer while watching football?
No, I'm not either. Watching this one in the pub, as United fans, we seem to have collectively adopted Holland. HUP! 😀
WTF is going on at ITV? Glenn Hoddle looks like an extra from Miami Vice! And Adrian chiles looks like Terry Scott in carry on Camping! 😯
This has the makings of a good game.
Binners 😀
Good job the Dutch play better than they can sing. The Mx anthem was quite a carry on version too. Should be better footie though.
Cummon Holland!
They are playing in a rather hot day by the look of their shadows. 😯
First hot game for Holland, apparently. Wonder if it will have an effect.
Blimey MX off to a good start.
Well now my second team are out (chile) I'm supporting Mexico cos I went there on holiday once and I hate Robben and van traitorous **** with a passion!
Roncrete lucky to not give away a pen.
Jamie - Freeloader! But we still like himFirst hot game for Holland, apparently. Wonder if it will have an effect.
It will affect some of them like heat stroke if not careful even when they are physically fit.
45 mins running around in the sun? Do me a favour! Lots of hydration at half time and full time, should keep them well.
Think holland must be a bit desparate to be picking Kuyt. All graft and no guile.
Are you watching, Quatar?
Cooling breaks are a bad idea as it means it's more of Adrian Chiles.
How long before there's an advert in that break?
I think Waddle called it, in saying this is just the start of something insidious.
Also, half empty stadium? Wah?
In World Cup history, has there ever been an incidence of the cameraman picking out a fat bird in the crowd?
wah? wah wah?
hmm mexico looks pretty handy.. if the heat keeps up, its going to be speedy gonzales all the way 🙂
Well. That explains the empty stand. Hot as ****.
Oh, and Robben was robbed.
Will Quatar have cooling breaks every 3 minutes? Maybe that's why FIFA were so keen. Ad breaks?
Robben staying on his feet as well as ever
I thought FIFA had decided to play the Quatar WC in the frozen veg aisle of the local Quatar Tesco?
to think it's 36 in Qatar today 45 tomorrow. The dutch looked dead on their feet after 5 mins !
On a positive note; Chiles has stopped his Terry Scott impression, and put his legs away. Probably before he was asked to cast some silhouettes in a tent. Though he does still have a face like a freezer bag full of porridge
Oh my.
Going to be hard to come back now.
Dammit! Cummon Holland! Cummon! Please don't blame the weather ... 🙄
BOOM!!
That was a superb finish!
This is probably the best I've felt since I thought that Sterling shot went in.
Come on Mexico don't let me down
[quote=chambord said]This is probably the best I've felt since I thought that Sterling shot went in.
You weren't the only one 🙂
39 degrees pitch side.
Must be bloody tough playing in that.
Quite handy that keeper.
Goalie has just pulled a Homer.
That Dutch formation change seems to have done the trick. All over the Mexicans now.
Mexico are playing a dangerous game here.
Don't know if they can soak up the all the Dutch attacks for 20mins.
This game has got injury time equaliser written all over it.
It now has Little Pea wonder toe poke written all over it 🙂
Come on Mexico.
Chicorrito to wrap this up
GAME ON
That's how to hit a ball.
Gooooooooooaaallll! Holland! 😆
Dutch to nick it?
goallllllllll!!!!!!!
Oh nooooooooooh!
Scholes-esque!
😯
Gutted
That'll be a yes to my question.
Bit of a dive, but always going to happen.
Blimey
nooooo!!!!! why speedy why???
Robbed
Great pen
Gooooooooaaallllll ! Holland!
Mexico out! (time ticking away ... arrghhh)
why cant england take penalties like that?? come to think of it why cant england play like any of the teams in the playoffs?
Forget about England and enjoy the greatness on offer
cheekymonkey888 - Memberwhy cant england take penalties like that?? come to think of it why cant england play like any of the teams in the playoffs?
Too rich to play? 😯
Edit: Sorry to see Mexico out of the tournament as I would rather Brazil be the one.
Hate Robben. Cheat.
Ugh.
It's alright for you lot you don't live with a smug Dutch person.
