It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Agree, never a penalty the Spaniard trod on the defenders trailing leg and nothing more. Mind you I think it did illustrates just what a difficult job refereeing is, 1st look I thought it was a pen, but from a different angle and in slow motion it obviously was not.. refs got no chance in real time sometimes of getting it right.

Very impressed with Columbia easy 3-0 winners against Greece I thought.

Columbia yes its the only match I havent bet on. Didnt have a clue about present form.

Looked pretty good, and Greece not the fighting spirit you expect from them.

Im on Uruguay who have gone 1 up . Fingers crossed.

Starting to get worked up for the England Game so just done some exercise, 50 push ups and some cyling on the machine. England footy always get me on edge.

Sent her indoors out with my mates wifes. Given her 200 sheets and told her to have a good one down town.

Feel sick, just hope Roy isnt negative tonight.

ps, KP Bombay mix is on special offer in supermarkets at the moment , ive got boxes of it and cans and cans of Stella.

Word on the radio hes starting wiith STERLING and not lelanu.

Reckon he should also have Barklay in and henderson out.

Wheres Chris Carson I thought he was a footy nutcase.

Watching the football, no doubt. :-)

Well Costa Lota have put the Kybosh on the group now.

England must win tonight or we have had it.

A brilliant all round team performance by Costa Rica tonight, the surprise packet so far. Thought the other lot were awful.

duplicate.

Duplicate.

Absolutely Stan and Swarez surely cant add that much to that team.

Still think we need to win though. Pressure will be on us if we dont. Sterling in team and not lelanu.

Calmed down a bit now, that pint of stella done the trick.

My mates all arriving now.

Not long now lads.

Will it be the fungle in the jungle or Roys boys walk on water.

'Will the lion sleep tonight'.

Match on at 2am nearly missed that japan v Ivory coast.

Both 7/4

Think Ill go for a win to ivory coast.

Gf - Calm Down, Calm Down, your making me nervous now. Sterling in, that's a positive move imo. Seen the state of Henrys cardy, got the same one as a Chrimbo pressy in 1970 :O) Hope Barkley gets a run out at some stage tonight. Come on England!

Shiting myself Chris but thats a good thing for me.

Bufoon out of the Italian side.

Just having my pre match brandy.

Come on Engerland.

Its now or never.

Hold me hand Chris..........


But seriously this is pressure, bloody red hot pressure.

This thing of man marking Pirlo? play 10 on 10 and play a marker so tight he hasnt room to fart.

That's why Rooney has to play GF! Barkley can replace him later when he's knackered.

Chris yep but hes not the one marking Pirlo. Somone as to follow him all the next 45 minutes and make it a 10 v 10 game.

This bunkum from the England camp .......ohhh we are going to sit someone on him......
WHAT...... carp, Hodgson is asking the nearest player to get stuck in and Ill tell you this He'l have us if we dont get on top of him.

Rooney is frustrated being on the left.

I say move him in with 20 minutes to go .

Stiil positive as long as we get hold of Pirlo.

The goal came from a set play, Welbecks having a good game.
