OK, it's the World Cup opener for us and I will admit to having a bit to drink.

Still, beautiful win in a tournament where I honestly thought we'd never get three points, let alone, all at once

That response goal on the corner was just ... it's lucky there aren't holes in any of my walls

Keep going and either the USA or England may just get through and play Iran in the knockout stages

Armageddon on here if that happens

[Guest]

Anyway, enjoy your celebrations, I'm for bed.

No joke! Got to see most of Iran's play today and was not impressed ... hey, this is the World Cup for us. One win? We thought it was impossible, and it nearly was!

[Guest]

Russia v South Korea

Got bored with it.

Ah, I think SK look quite impressive Irn, fast on the counter, but just can't seem to finish it ...I think their entertaining to watch, but not all parts of their game.

[Guest]

Teckle....


1-0 Korea!!!

[Irn Bru]

Teckle....

[Guest]

Would you no agree though Irn that SK have been the better side?

[Cass]

Meh.....it was ok.....shades ala Robert green of 2010 for Fabio .....

good result for South Korea

[Ben Reilly]

Not great games today, even Mexico v. Brazil was on the boring side ... but maybe I'm still recovering from that U.S. win

Spain v. Chile should be worth watching, though!

Yeah he did make a balls of it Cass!

I thought SK were the better side

OK everybody: please place your bets for

England v Uruguay 19.06.14 20:00 GMT

Can anyone rival JD's cap for predicting Italy's 2:1 win against England last Saturday?

Without seeing the line up(fairly predictable anyway I think) and going on the 2-1 defeat to Italy, I can't see a lot of goals...because of England's opposition I think they will still be up for it...

I'm gonna say 2-0 Uruguay

[Irn Bru]

What a cracking goal that was by Cahill for Australia. The best goal of the competition so far and of course assisted by former Hearts player Ryan McGowan who has made a huge difference since being drafted in for this game.
Australia have been the better team by far.

Great game.

Hey Irn...I honestly thought Cahill would have a good game, he was solid for Everton, and proving he's definitely worth his Oz jersey, not many would have marked this game out now 2-1 to Oz!!!!!!!!   

[Guest]

Spoke too soon!!, I think Holland knew they had to act, but all credit to the Aussies...what a great game.

[Irn Bru]

Although Australia lost they can be proud of that performance against one of the best sides in the world and one of the tournament favourites They controlled the game for long spells and it was only a couple of bits of individual brilliance by RVP and Robben that pulled Holland through to a narrow victory.

Great game - thoroughly enjoyed it.

England 2-0 Uruguay.

[Irn Bru]

Looks like Spain are heading for an early exit.Currently losing 2-0 to Chile.

[Cass]

the aussie-Dutch game was great....one of the best so far - yesterday was fairly boring.....cahill's goal outstanding.

Croatia just scored....


I'm staying stchum on England ....the humiliation of an octopus being able predict better than me is too much to bear.


btw anyone else loving google's graphics since the start of the WC?

England 1-2 Uruguay. I think they will be coming home on Saturday, sorry and all that!

I only get the one's they have on their search page, but they are good.

[Guest]

England 2-0 Uruguay.

It's England 1, Uruguay 0 for me.

Well, let's hope you are right and I am wrong!

[Cass]

and another bites the dust.....song let his team down.

[Eilzel]

Cannot believe Spain are out! I had considered a bet on them since they were not favourites, now I know why haha.

Their own faults, leaving behind Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas while bringing Torres was unforgivable. Oh, and I guess David Silva wasn't such a hot shot for Newfix team now   

[Ben Reilly]

Spain was a shocker! Sorry, don't see how England gets past Uruguay, folks. Maybe they can luck into a draw.

I'm trying to avoid rosy thinking when it comes to the rest of the U.S.'s games. People are saying we've got a real shot against Portugal, but I think it will probably be the beginning of the end ...

[Stephenmarra]

3 /1 to England,  Uruguay to score first.

[Cass]

I'm calling a tie on Colombia vs ivory coast 2-2

Drogba will come on in the 2nd half.

England v Uruguay? depends on if Suarez is playing .....

Japan over Greece 2-1

[Stephenmarra]

Hmmmm ! I'll take  the  3/1 on skybet  for an Ivory coast win , at a guess 2/1

Greece has got to be a good bet at  2/1  (not that I'm a gambler or owt)  

[Cass]

[Guest]

[Cass]
