I would have said Wayne Rooney.

No name-calling from me on this thread, despite a mass of it coming the other way. Word of difference to impatience.

Laugh as loud as you want. The petulant foot-stamping and aggression on here if anyone dares to question the "In AP we Trust" whip is hillarious.

Good post. The "July 1st" brigade have now shifted the goalpost to August, bizarrely. Really, the lack of ability or willingness to criticise the club is reminiscent of the worst extremes of Communism...

That doesnt surprise me in the slightest. Jesus.

Absolute rubbish (IMO) Paraguay had a perfectly good goal disallowed in the first half, and their peno should have been retaken too. Is it only the right result when the fancied team wins ?

Bored with this now. Suarez and Uruguay have got away with murder. End of.

Hang on, I thought it was instinctive ? As has been said elsewhere, putting your team down to 10men with no playing time left and leaving justice to an extremely tough peno test is no justice at all. It changes certain defeat into a fighting chance. Also, just read in the Sun that FIFA have already decided to leave the ban at one game. A sad day for sporting fairness, and makes all the "Say no to Racism" lecturing pre-game seem a bit hollow..

A good team that has already lost 2 key players and the only player that passes for a proper RB.

Accounting for the expected Spain win tonight, I am following Holland from now on. The Krauts have had their fun, and given me the laugh of kicking the Argies out in humilliation.

Yep. Apparently, FIFA dont know their own rule book, according to some on here. About a month ago, my eldest got a right b*ll*cking from his trainer across the pitch when he laughed out loud at the opposite team fluffing a peno. Last night, Suarez pretended to cry as he trudged off the pitch, then laughed hysterically when he saw the miss. He's a complete w*nker.

hehehehe

Great post. I know how I want my kids to grow up.

Why is it an arbitrary change in established punishment if there is a rule that bans can be extended for unsporting conduct ? FIFA have to extend it; with the way Suarez and Uruguay are boasting, it sends out the wrong message if they have the power and dont do it.

Indeed, probably would have been another member of the Chelsea School of How to Undermine the Squad and Manager, this years valedictorian being John Terry, of course....

Nope, we will probably start badly whichever was, as we normally do. At least if we get a couple of decent players in, the probability is less. Of course, as a life-long Saints fan, I really want Saints to lose, dont I ??? Where are the roley eyes on this new site ?

Pleased to read on the BBC that a FIFA disciplinary committee is to convene to consider banning Suaerz for two games, effectively ending his WC...

Robben and Sneijder too

Reckon you could add half the German team : Müller, Klose and Pig-Climber

What have Rooney, Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo all got in common ? They've all been officially sh*te at this WC, though I would still argue that Rooney is in a class of his own.

Btw, how do we all feel this morning about the pictures in the tabloids of Forlan, Lugano and co parading Suarez round on their shoulders ? What a hero.....

Really ? Putting aside last nights cheating, I have watched every one of their games and have found them to be negative, defensive and they strangle games. Last nights game only opened up because Ghana attacked, scored the first goal and thereby opened it up.

His presence hexed the England team, and today his presence hexed Andy Murray...

Let's hope so. I just have this little voice in my head telling me this is a Lowe's "irons in the fire" for the manager position moment, and we ended up promoting Steve Wrigley... As in, a complete anti-climax..

Indeed; his head was still attached to his neck at the time....
