World Cup 2014

And goodnight Capello's £8M per year.

[El Rojo]

In football terms, what's the point of Russia?

Money laundering?

Capello's got the Russians holed up at a very secluded training base. In 2010, he had the English holed up at a very secluded training base. It appears as though the Russian players are struggling with boredom away from the pitch, and struggling to play with any cohesion in matches. Much like England in 2010. I think Capello was the highest paid manager at that World Cup too. He's got a track record of success at club level but perhaps his methods don't translate in an international tournament environment.

He won loads back in the nineties but he's just jumping from gravy train to gravy train these days

About the same as England.

[Jairzinho]

Probably the only two squads in the tournament picked entirely from their respective domestic leagues.

So what you are saying is morally we win?

 

Yes!

[kalasoma]

Five Live just said he's on £6.5million.

 

I thought it was £8M, but still, it's Gazprom money. Drop in the ocean.

It did appear they were struggling with that particular problem 'on' the pitch too. Money for old rope. Terrible fare.

Yes!

 

Yep.

 

The "Most clueless, boring, insular, shit twats" Award.

[JagSquared]

Algeria have a very western sounding anthem.

 

Anyway two shit teams, you would hope they both go for it and we end up with a corker

[Russ Atmosphere]

First tonight to say Clarke Carlisle's a cunt.

[JagSquared]

Looked like a pen to me but then I've only seen it once and am drinking...

[Gnasher]

First tonight to say Clarke Carlisle's a cunt.

He's very very intelligent, the media tells us all the time, he's a member of Mencap.

[A_S]

Big chance for one of these to advance with a win here, given Russia don't seem to be going anywhere in a hurry.

[magicrat]

He's very very intelligent, the media tells us all the time, he's a member of Mencap.

How wrong can you be ,theres me thinking he was a member of Duncecap

[Torvald Utne]

I just knew he was a member

[Trumo]

Goal for Algeria.

[J-V]

Good goal

[Trumo]

Bang, 2-0.

[J-V]

Game over.

[Trumo]

Game over.

 

It might be now. 3-0 thanks to Djebbour.

[kalasoma]

Diego Costa checking his family tree, looking for a distant Algerian relative.

[Newport]

Algeria, what a brilliant side. Three beautiful goals.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Carlisle or Clarke Carlisle, which is shittest?
