Maybe we can sneak a win. I've taken on Italy and have done 1-0 to us.

Is this the offician chit chat in-running thread?
Yep, I reckon so.
What have you punted cmat?

After your predicition last night s&g, I reckon you've just given England the kiss of death.
Italy's recent form hasn't been great.
With Uruguay losing today, a draw will be a good result for both sides.
1-1 for me, although I will be betting on a draw

I'm in a rich vein of form Nibbsy on the horses, it's only a matter of time that I nail a footyball game correct.
after the last cuppla days im on 6 - 3 England and elvis to score anytime
Agree with the low score draw forecasts. Two evenly matched teams, 'don't lose your first match' and weather that will mean less player movement than normal...sounds like 0-0, which I've backed at 8 on here. We might be in for a seriously boring match here.
quietly confident but a bit worried about Glen Johnson.
I've done 0-0 for £5
thanks go to pumpy and this thread if it comes in.
.. though I expect I'll chicken out and lay it at some point.
I felt a surge o patriotism as they sang the English anthem ..
... which is strange as I'm Welsh

Who is this bloody commentator, sounds like a broken ZX spectrum speech emulator, think I'd prefer those South African horn things.
His voice is a bit flat but he's making some good comments.

Guy Mowbray is the irritating one.

I've turned the sound down and have got the au-pair commentating....love the Norwegian accent 
hard to watch england. Flashes of brilliance but always give far too much space to the opposition.
I'm amazed England are as short as they are to win tonight
The England team visited an orphanage in Brazil earlier today.
'It's heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope.' said Jose, aged 6.

Good player that Italiam sub but too slow, for me
The footie forum thread has well over a thousand posts.

A deserved win for Italy.
No matter how many excuses Phil Neville tried to come up with for England.

I think it was a fairly even game, poor final ball cost England big time & poor defending cost them a draw.
Be fair, Tommy.
That bit of the pitch on the right wing at the end England were attacking in the second half was only a problem for the attacking side in the second half. That much is undeniable.

Line of the night comes from the horsey forum:
"the one thing that we can all take out of this game is ....our sincere commiserations to mrs phil Neville....your husband must make life with thommo look like a constant mardi gras"
Can't stop chuckling!

Never have to much expectation as far as England is concerned but they played ok to a point & the fact is Uruguay have to come out & get a positive result meaning England will get plenty of space in the next match, the problem will imo be the final game.
Yes, I thought England played pretty well - for England - too Pumpy, and I thought Sterling was very, very good indeed but the Italians were better - and made every shot count.
Which England almost always fail to do.

Keep up the good tips spelling, I think I'll go opposite everything you predict.
Italy average @ best but looked far superior to Us, think we might be heading 4 early bath.
I quite enjoyed Neville's summaries. Monotone, most certainly and needs to brush up on his style of presentation, but very informative and knows the game inside out.
I thought he was dreadful, kenny. A real 'homer'.
Can't be having that.
I like commentators to give a proper assessment of what's going on - not what they want it to be.

- and his voice is shocking for a commentator. Almost as bad as Owen's.
It's absurd having ex-footballers doing jobs other people are far better at just because they're ex-footballers.
Particularly ones who've already made millions out of the game.
Give someone else a bite of the cherry.
Someone who is easy on the ear - at the very least.

game is what counts not comments,not important when goood game
quite promising I thought but didn't like Rooney, Baines and I think Gerrard past his best.
Yeh, let's get someone who hasn't a clue but sounds good.
Definately needs to brush up on his syyle but the content was excellent
