TURN UP THE VOLUME!!!
ALL THE WAY UP TO ELEVEN!!!!
Great way to get us ready for tomorrow.
Hope this helps with the sore throat.
cough cough
getting sub right now
Morning, boys - I am here and I can't wait to watch England get started.
I just finished watching the Brazil v. Switzerland match. Not impressed by either side.
The big news out of the Swedish camp is that Victor Lindelof has caught UWS's cold. This means that Elland Road favorite Pontus Jansson is starting!
Morning Bob
cough cough
Teams in the tunnel now for this early one:
Sweden (4-4-2) Olsen; Lustig, Granqvist, Jansson, Augustinsson; Claesson, Larsson, Ekdal, Forsberg; Berg, Toivonen.
South Korea (4-3-3) Cho Hyun-woo; Lee Yong, Jang Hyun-soo, Kim Young-gwon, Park Joo-ho; Lee Jae-sung, Ki Sung-yueng, Koo Ja-cheol; Hwang Hee-chan, Kim Shin-wook, Son Heung-min.
Referee Joel Aguilar (El Salvador).
Really sorry to hear you're feeling poorly, mate. Can I get you a Lemsip? ;-)
Looks like England will be wearing their red shirts today
There is an Instagram post of their shirt
Sweden and S Korea in the tunnel and about to come out
I have my ITV link going strong. A United trio of Giggs, Evra and Larsson in the studio...the Nevlller must be working for Sky
BBC have the next two games
I'm happy with that choice. But don't Tunisia usually play in red?
Just asked Kathy what the score was going to be today
She replied FIVE NOTHING
I 'll take that
Not sure if white or red are their shirts
It would be stupid if they both changed
Pontus!
I'll take a 5-0er. Good on you, Kathy!
I'll take some Lucozade... to get me thru the ups and downs of the day
Remember that one
Wow - first time the teams have met in World Cup history.
ITV having more commercials than Fox
Straight after national anthems... off for commercials
No red cards yet in this tournament. And no predictions for this game in our pool.
ITV just said the news about Lindeloff...says he has been replaced by a Leeds man. Who?
We're away in this Group F fixture.
Why oh why is the ref wearing that color. Looks close to the Swede's shirt
Wear black, pink blue!!
I don't think it will the first one but whoever plays Brazil next will get a red card. Everyone feels sorry for Neymar
Trying to figure out my schedule today
Have to take the dog for a walk
Kathy and I have to walk our three miler
It is mid 90s here today and thunderstorms coming thru
LOL! Neymar was a floppy git yesterday, wasn't he?
ITV is 40 second behind
How long does it take you to walk your three miler?
He was..and all he did was complain
Who's the Leeds man?
40 minutes
Interesting - Son is taking the free kick. He never gets that chance at Spurs. Good delivery too!
Pre-Haiwaii we were walking 5 miles in just over an hour
Trying to lose weight again
Pontus Jansson - the big center back.
I saw that Pontus comment and didn't know what it meant!
You could get the walk in between either of the breaks in the matches, then. 10-11am or 1-2pm.
Yeah - apparently he's replacing Lindelof who has caught your cold today - cough, cough.
I think we are going at the 10 o'clock gap
Shadow won't be happy
Might have to take him a little earlier
Probably half time of this one
I'll miss a bit of the second half
The Dahlgrens in yellow have done nowt so far
How do we want the Belgium Panama match to go.
An upset? Draw? Expected?
Slow start to this one.
A yellow card for Kim...studs up tackle
I think that a narrow Belgium win is probably the best result for us, right? We don't want to bring Panama into the picture at all.
Hope the fans behave themselves today
Sweden with a chance.... SHOOT
I think you're right
I don't honestly fear most of these sides. Given the team that England has, why shouldn't they be beating most?
I was looking at the schedule on Fox(who have done better than I feared) and none of the England matches are on Fox. They are all on FS1
All of today's matches are FS1
The rest of the week, the two late matches are on Fox
On the weekend, five of the six matches are on Fox...odd one out... England Panama
England have to perform
After a sluggish start, Sweden are starting to have more of the game.
Oh - good save by Jo!
What a save!!!!
The one bloke looked offside but another one came in late
Decent corner...header just wide
I agree - they have to live up to their pedigrees. There is no reason that they shouldn't roll over Tunisia.
What do you think Fox has against England ?
I know Loser Lexi hates England
It's ridiculous. Most of the casual American fans I know are fans of the Premier League first and foremost. Surely they've got an interest in seeing how these players and the team get on.
Nothing much is happening. I'm falling asleep here.
Kim Min-woo has replaced the injured Park Joo-ho.
I was out of the room for a minute
Who was hurt?
Another chance in the box for Sweden
So many Americans put the emphasis on the wrong word in World Cup
We put our emphasis on Cup not World
That should have been a yellow there
Park Joo-ho landed awkwardly on his shoulder and had to go off.
you just made that name up!!!
Is this going to be the first nil niller
Not much quality out there so far
Son outruns the defender... useless cross of course
The scoreline is more down to a lack of quality than a lack of intent. I think both teams accept they probably need to win this. I predict a draw.
Dr Joe..... who cares
Swedes almost in
Ball flies across the box
Now is that a penalty... Is it going to go to VAR?
He got the ball... don't understand what the commentator is thinking
VAR must have checked and told the ref it was a good tackle
VAR must have checked and told the ref it was a good tackle
I think that if you got the ball...it isn't a penalty
Sometimes the touch is by a hair...this one was all ball
I disagree with Coby
ooh, header just over by the Swedes....looks what happens when you put in a decent delivery
long throw...collected
Half time
I am off for walkies
Half time then. That was all a bit boring. I'm sure that you'll need a brisk walk with Shadow in order to revive yourself. I'm off to do the dishes.
We're back on for the second half now. I hope it gets better.
I have returned and missed nothing
Hwang picks up a yellow card now for some retaliation.
Nice free kick...headed straight at the keeper again tho
David is on another thread. We should hop over and join him
This match is really chippy without any quality. Classon is booked for a lunge at Hwang.
Sweden is yelling for a penalty there. Referee waves it on.
Referee stops the match for a VAR review.
Are you moving threads?
PENALTY
It's a penalty for Sweden!
On the replay there is contact between Kim and Claesson. Good decision.
MOVING?
Gronqvist to take then....
Scores! Great penalty. 1-0 Swedes!
Stop ignoring me
Moving threads? What do you mean?
Read my comments!!
David has made a thread for the matches
Oh - I just saw that MUR is on another one. Sure, I can move over there.
