It's staggering just how easily grown men get embarrassed these days.

Standard football practice. Need a nickname? Just stick a Y on the end of the name, or if that doesn't work try an O. So imaginative.

Wrong. England won 4-2 not 3-2.

Yep, anyone who slags him off can do one, he's a decent bloke and this isn't the first time he's done something like this.

It's the English way, I just don't get it.

And?

Yeah, I mean it was virtually a back-pass

Easy? You're hard to please.

No we won't.

How about if you were being unfair?

That's why I said pretty good and not great.

Iran aren't great but England are probably making them look worse than they are, it's been pretty good so far.

So many people here are so desperate for either a bit of one-upmanship or belittling. It's all a bit sad.

We can't see the guy holding a gun at his head just out of shot.

Meh, I've seen enough, back to the snooker.

Foul on the keeper apparently. Absolute bollocks, did the ref even view the monitor??

Only in a very, very quiet year.

You are so predictable.

I'll be watching it but I can't muster any excitement.

Artificial stadiums as in they were purpose built? Doesn't that apply to every stadium on the planet? How are the games artificial? I'm less excited about this WC than any of the previous but that's just down to me slowly losing interest in all football.

It's the only way to get the FIFA head honcho job.

My take on this? Fuck 'em.

At least you used it in context. Most just stick it at the beginning or end of every sentence as some kind of vocal tic when it has absolutely nothing to do with being fair or otherwise.

Still the incessant use of 'to be fair'. It's the linguistic equivalent of grey jogging bottoms and cheap trainers.
