This Argentina side looks fucking brilliant. Defensively solid, a midfield that controls matches, and Messi and Aguero upfront causing absolute havoc.

 

They are normally like that in the Copa America until they shit themselves against the Brazilians. Except the last tournament when they shit themselves against Uruguay.

They've won it six times more than Brazil, to be fair.

Chile are finally winning it this year anyway.

 

Fucking Bolivia have won it.

Ok, the BBC are pissing me right off with their endless coverage of women's football on their website. What are they playing at? Some woman's match is actually the top story on the BBC sport page ffs.

 

Nice to see Agger still going strong. Denmark won 2-0 vs Serbia with him in the team. Thanks to whoever decided we'd be better off with Lovren, Toure and Sakho. Cheers.

Cheers for killing my eight fold, you fucking bellends.

Anyone have a bet on Albania and the Faroes to both win?

The BBC making shit up as they go along:

Juventus defender Patrice Evra, 34, is still waiting for an apology from Barcelona striker Luis Suarez, 28, after the Uruguayan spat at him playing for Liverpool against Manchester United at Anfield in October 2011. (Daily Telegraph)

The article in the telegraph makes absolute no reference to any incident involving spitting. Because it never happened. It's no fucking wonder he left and if I was him I'd have my lawyers all over the BBC for that headline.

Suarez is too busy cuddling the CL trophy.

another good performance by Joe Allen v Belgium. Played as a defensive mid in front of a back

3 which consisted of Ashley Williams, Chris Gunter and some player from Hull.

 

Kept Hazard and co tamed. The last save Welsh goalie Hennersy had to make was in the 10th minuet, against a side ranked 2nd in the world. Wales have not conceded a goal from open play so far in this tournament.

 

It's strange how Allen does not produce regular performances for Liverpool as he has done consistently over the past few years for Wales.

 

I conclude he's either suffered from confidence/injury issues, been played out of position or hasn't got the bollocks.

Some Chelsea stars 'can barely write let alone sign autographs' claims club shop worker

 

Club captain John Terry told a fan on Instagram his 'signed picture' was a fake - until the supporter revealed he had bought it from the club's Stamford Bridge ground

 

Chelsea footballers may be fabulous with their feet but some of them can barely write.

 

The embarrassing claim was made to the Sunday People as we investigated the sale of a “fake” autographed photo of club captain John Terry to a fan.

 

Terry, 34, called foul after seeing a shot of himself online.

 

He posted to his 1.1 million Instagram followers and the fan: “Where did you ­receive this from... that’s not my ­writing or signature? It’s fake and if you paid for it you should ask for your money back. JT.”

 

But when the fan said he had bought it for £9.99 from the club’s store at their Stamford Bridge ground, Terry ­apparently went quiet.

 

A source said: “It’s a bit ­embarrassing. John had no idea the picture was from the club shop when he posted his comment.”

 

At the side’s West London stadium we bought ­pictures of Terry and stars Eden Hazard and Diego Costa, which came with computer-generated ­autographs and handwriting.

 

A store worker joked the technology was handy as “there is never a player around when you need one”.

 

He ­added: “Some of them can’t even write ­properly, they can play football ­fantastically but their writing is ­terrible.”

 

Tonight Cheryl d’Silva, whose nephew Clarence bought the picture while visiting the family in London, said: “It’s ­unbelievable. You’d expect better from Chelsea. Clarence is football mad and Terry is his hero.

 

“He could not believe it when he saw the message. We’ve complained to Chelsea about the autograph but have had nothing back from the club.”

 

A source added: “Fans are told the ­autographs are made on computers but they could at least get the handwriting right.

 

"There’s no suggestion fans are being hoodwinked as it is clear the players aren’t signing the ­pictures.”

 

A club spokesman said: “These printed digital photos are ­licensed by a third party company and sold as a ­personalised gift at a number of Premier League club shops.

 

“All these ­messages are ­computer-­generated and ­produced in-store in front of the ­customer at the time of purchase. We will be ­revisiting the player signatures on file to make sure they are up to date.”

 

Terry’s comments are a minor gaffe ­compared with his other scrapes.

 

The £170,000-a-week star got a four-match ban in 2011 after a racial spat with England teammate Rio Ferdinand’s ­brother Anton.

 

In 2010 it was revealed he had cheated on his wife Toni with Vanessa Perroncel, girlfriend of his then-Chelsea and England team-mate Wayne Bridge.

It’s ­unbelievable. You’d expect better from Chelsea.

 

 

No you wouldn't.

Utopian defending.

We'll be okay once Sturridge is fit.

That goal came approximately 5 minutes after that football sage Townsend claimed that Novakovic had no chance of running in behind the England defence. How do you go about getting a job as a football commentator? Easiest job in the bloody world.

Harry Kewel and Michael Owen put Liverpool oldies 2-0 up against Real Madrid at the Bernabau.

Haha, well that's fucked up, there aren't many major crimes but when people are hungry, that's a problem. Anyway, how's it in Ljubljana, you guys going out after the match?

For me, he's almost commentated too well there, in and around the final third of the analysis.

Lallana on.

England had a free kick early on in the match. Townsend went to pick out Henderson on the edge of the area but played it woefully short, allowing Slovenia to clear easily. One of the commentators said something about how it was a training ground move that went wrong, and how hopefully everything went better in rehearsal. You'd want things to go better on the day, not in rehearsal I'd have thought!
