Your play in the final third has been pretty weak though! Should have won by more.

It's was a problem against Gabon too. Peralta and co need to stop missing all the clear chances they get.

Agreed. We'd get to stick it to the angry Brits on here yet again.

Casey Stoney will mark Abigail Wombach out of the match.

Are you an Italian American or an American Italian?

Mexico has always had that problem. They get to the final third and they don't know what to do, so they just end up crossing the ball to their 5'9 striker and hope he does something against 6'3 behemoths.

They get criticized alot from the media because of this. I guess it's warranted. Still Mexico first in their group and hasn't allowed a goal, so we shouldn't be too harsh on them.

They face Senegal next. Not the ideal opponent.

Egypt will face Japan in the quarterfinal. I think we have a chance, but it will be a tough match considering Aboutreka, Metab, and Fathi will be returning to Ahly. Also, I heard Mohamed Salah is injured and getting a scan.

That's a load of shit, to be honest. The national team will never progress when it keeps on having to make compromises for the sake of the two big clubs in Egypt.

You're losing 3 members of your squad to go back to their club, the fuck?

Yeah. I hope Hany Ramzy can convince Ahly to backtrack on their decision. It's just a group stage match, it's not like Ahly are playing in the Champions League semifinal. And Ahly are on the right track to progress anyways. They won their first two matches.

@thefadotcom: Team GB v Uruguay: Butland, Taylor, Richards, Caulker, Bertrand, Ramsey, Allen, Cleverley, Bellamy (c), Sturridge, Sinclair. #GBvURU

Richards at centre back again.

Sinclair in, at least that's width on both sides.

Giggs rested?

I love how they keep reminding Robbie Savage that Wales never qualifies for major tournaments.

Yeah, not surprising. He's old as fuck and hasn't really played 3 games in a week for United in years.

At least there's some proper width on both sides up front. Let's just see if Sturridge can actually play well.

Suarez to do something that will gain him more notoriety.

By scoring a hattrick. I kinda want us to lose so I can write my article.

Disgraceful Cam.

I want us to lose so Suarez and Coates can return early.

How can I write about how shit Stuart Pearce is if we win a medal/do well?

Watch all the Welsh cunts boo the national anthem.

Ramsey in the middle

Did really well when he was dumped out wide last match, so I hope he does even better in the middle.

Want him to come back to Arsenal in good form.

He better be amazing at finesse shots.

Robbie Savage is looking quite strapping tonight.

Booing Suarez while he's singing the national anthem. It's actually disgraceful.

Well at least they booed the Uruguay one.

RT“@OliverKayTimes: #LFC fans might fancy adopting the URU ban on display inside Millennium Stadium: "Boo if you're scared of Suarez" ...”

Yeah I read that on twitter too Cam Genius

Apart from winning, what needs to happen for Uruguay to go through?

Think GB need to draw or win, Uruguay have to win and it's as simple as that.

Spain didn't score a single goal.

Thanks. Saw the table right now. Uruguayan win and a win or tie from Senegal means GB is out. Could happen.

Should have taken an overage striker.

Who were theirs anyway, Mata..?

Britain's unis are complete shit.
