24hoursfromtulsehill Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm sure the words "found out by pace" could be exactly replaced by "deprived by statute of EPO". Spain cheated to win. And now they and we have all seen how things turn out when everyone plays straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 The three leaders stay level with each other and I've dragged myself off the foot of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Anyone have Spain going out in the group stage? One player - 24hoursfromtulsehill, not that you'd know it from his league position. However, having the correct two teams getting through from that group may give him hope to recover things yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Christ on a bicycle. I had Spain to play Germany in the final. Don't thin I'll stay in 5th place for long. How far can Chile go now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Anyone have Spain going out in the group stage? Yup. I heard they'd been made to stop taking EPO, since which time they've been visibly off the pace, leading to a collapse in their high-tempo pressing and passing game.

lookersstandandy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) In the style of Paddy Power's Barrio Backstabio TV advert, I am consoling myself in the knowledge I predicted Uruguay 2 England 1. Why oh why do we always bottle it. We didn't bottle it in either World War, so why does football make us weak at the knees. Roll on Colchester away!

Why oh why do we always bottle it. We didn't bottle it in either World War, so why does football make us weak at the knees. Roll on Colchester away! Me too. We've already scored twice as many goals as I predicted so I fully expect us to draw a blank in the final game of Hodgson's reign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might not win owt, but we'll see some 4-3 & 5-4's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're too starved of the illusion of success. I'd settle for Mourinho-style bus parking and a sequence of 1-0s and 0-0s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 oafc1895 pulls himself ahead of the other players at the top; pinchmepup goes within a point of the top after a good night's work - getting the England/Uruguay and Japan/Greece results spot on and predicting the Colombia win; Bristolatic still lurking behind the leaders; and maddog at risk of being cast adrift at the bottom.

You could've had one at the beginning but it'd be a bit silly now. When England go behind, my dad always bets me a pound they'll turn it around and win. I've bet him my £2 winnings England go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
