I don't know why I find "GOATA Rica" so funny, but I do.

Gulf Coast
Rich Coast

If you want to make a huge run as an underdog and actually look better than the bluebloods you beat, apparently it helps to have Coast in your name.

Very dissapointed with Italias performance. Costa Rica outplayed them but also got them out of their element I guess? I mean, i saw 10 straight first touches byItaly in the 2nd half just completely off and it came right to a Costa Rican defender, making them upset and got them a bit rattled.

Still expect Italy to advance but if they play like they did today..then No

I think there are times when he just misspositions or get lost in crosses/balls in the air. even for city there are times he looked second class in positioning

Meaningless final game gives guys like Lambert and Lampard their farewell to the World Cup and gives game time to important players in the future Shaw/Oxlade/Jones/Lallana etc

I almost spit out my drink laughing when the announcer during the Russia game said Akinfeev has a top5 market value for GK or something (before the lolgoal). That dude seems extremely overrated. There are probably at least 5 keepers in the Bundesliga alone that are better.
Surely he can't be rated that highly and it's all just lolhomering? The dude is nothing special.

What team for an Englishman to swap allegiance to?

I think I'll follow Ze Germans.

So expect Germany to lose next match...

Yeah I mean around 2005 Akinfeev was like the number one prospect in the world for goalkeeper.

So perfect that Hodgson talked smack about Suarez then got bundled out of the tournament by him with an assist from Gerrard, the player he didn't have the balls to cut out of the team. The owl-faced ****.

MY preference for the whole tourney was Brazil, but I'm fine with any oldworld teams tbh. Anyone but Argentina really. I still hate those guys (not for the war, or even The Hand of God, but for that time they barracked the ref in a WC final against Ze Germans (England and Italy played for 3rd and 4th place), and got away with it. ****ing thugs.)
