Portugal to win tonight

FOYDC

Is Nando Torres playing?

Oh dear  well as long as someone wins
I thought it would be spain

I saw them in a friendly where they had 173 percent pitttappit midfield mincing  possession and I think they eventually got a goal near the end
Heart attack situation for bettors!!  ho ho

Spains tiki taka is well passed its sell by date imo

Much prefer Germany's style and always did. Argentina and Brazil play a better brand of football as well.

so I have to switch bets to portugal then.  Johnny foreigner is notoriously unreliable (it is the heat) although portugal has the longest military alliance in the world with us.
In the napoleonic wars it did take a british general to sort their team out.


so it's portugal then ho ho

? It wasn't a British General who sorted them out, it was Sean Bean, I saw him doing it on the telly once.

There was me thinking it was Gen William Beresford - but I have been wrong before.  I will check with Sean - I am sure you are right.

What a thoroughly enjoyable game, of positive football, so different from the pass it back for 85 minutes and rush at the opposition in the last 5 minutes shyyit we usually see, great stuff.

These little fluffy bunnies will be despatched by our staunch britisher bulldog spirit.

You herd it hear furst.

Sean Bean is charging his musket as a type and passing a sharpened bayonet to Ronaldo.

They don't like it up em, them spaniards.

nawty nawty checking  -  RIFLE me lad not a musket - 20 lashes for you.!!!

Hey I'm not a fighting man. I'm in this mans army to peel potatoes and with a bit of luck get a hop on a reject from on one of the 100s of women Bean has ploughed across the iberian peninsula.

Ah the good old days.  With the lash to touch you up, for encouragment - oooh errr!!!

I hate ronaldo, in fact I often spit in the potato salad we serve him down the mess, but that was some goal.

I'll mention him in dispatches.

I don't like Ronaldo.

I will never say he is the greatest footballer ever. Certainly never better than Pele, Garrincha, Maradonna, George Best but bloody hell he is good!

I mean Pele had Brasil, ok Maradonna didn't have a great side around him but they were good but this Ronaldo is also special and although it makes me want to choke I have to admit he is a little bit special!

good game!! good game!!
