Have a soft spot for Uruguay, simply because Gustavo Poyet coaches my team (Sunderland) and I think he's going places. However, I think even this slightly inadequate England side will beat them, not least because Suarez, who despite being as mad as a box of frogs is a genius, cannot possibly be fit.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

As I've said before, I believe the US will win a World Cup before the much prophecised (and seemingly delayed) African breakthrough, but that doesn't mean that they're going to win of course. T

I'm sure that's what America would like to think, and I'm equally sure there's some currency in it, but by the same logic think yourself lucky that India has never taken to baseball (3 times America's

After the 2010 WC, I predicted that it would be Germany and Brazil in the finals of the 2014 WC. I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise. FWIW, here are the groups. We definitely have the m

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Suarez was fit enough to do that.

OK, so I was mistaken about Suarez. Right about England being slightly inadequate, though...

Even if England loses they still might have a shot. Italy will probably beat Costa Rica. That would leave Italy with 6, Costa Rica & Uruguay with 3, and England with 0. If England beats Costa Rica and Italy beats Uruguay, then Italy finishes with 9 & it's a GD battle at 3 points with England, Uruguay, and CR. This is obviously looking way too far ahead lol.

England are well capable of failing to beat Costa Rica.

And if both this match and Costa Rica-Italy end in draws, and England and Uruguay win next week, the whole group would be tied at four points! (Highly unlikely.) England can survive a loss; Uruguay can't. I think England will score the equalizer in the second half; a draw puts them in a much better position to advance, because Costa Rica is a far lesser opponent than Italy.

Relentless attacking by Uruguay to start the second half. How didn't they score?

Atrocious from England. No shape, no composure, no imagination. Honestly, it's like watching a non - league team.

England needs to create scoring opportunities, rather than waiting for them to appear. EDIT: Just like that.

At last, England has started to play with some sense of urgency.

      Like who? The dude won on a tough set up with a cold putter. I mean, where do we go from here? They had to throw him in jail to keep him from winning one. No one has been on a run like this since 2007. It's like watching someone go to the office and clickity-clack away at the typewriter over and over each day writing history and there ain't a thing anyone can do about it.  Give it up y'all. He just too good.

      He’s paid to look like a character from the movie ‘ Half Baked’ while playing some pretty dismal golf. He once stated he had some pretty terrible people around him and had to cut them out. So I guess he figured adding Greg Norman and some human rights violators was a solid move.😵‍💫

      This snuck up on me. Maybe it's because I've got daddy issues and never remember Father's Day ever since he told my mom that he didn't have the time to see me more often....   Let's go anyone but Scheffler! Or Brian Harman! Or....forget it, the list is too long. (Grrr it won't let me capitalize "the" in the title)
