World Cup of Beer Group G

No beer is no fun, a nil all draw so.

No beer, keeping my liver ready for the second half of the heavyweight battle between England V Belgium. Fuck these shitty retard nations.

PreGame:

Tunisia V Belgium: Was too easy for Belgian, as I had predicted there would be a hammering, and that Belgium would be too strong for a severely limited Tunisian team.

Belgium started with much more intensity, and I guess after looking at the England game, they knew that if they get at Tunisia from the get go they might crumble early. And so they did, very early in fact, after about 6 minutes, with Hazard getting and scoring a penalty. We didn’t have to wait long for the next one, ten minutes in fact, for Lukaku to score a nice goal that was well set up.

Rather than crumble Tunisia did somehow manage to pull one quick goal back, Bronn scored from a glancing header, unmarked, back of the net. Great response, and exactly what his team needed. Game on.

Or so we thought, but Tunisia continued to gift Belgium simple chances, and with De Bruyne and Witsel pulling the strings in midfield it wasn’t long before Lukaku got his second goal of the afternoon. Put on a plate for him from De Bruyne, 3-1, just before half time.

Straight into the second half normal service resumed as in the 51st minute hazard got his seond and Belgium’s fourth. Another great ball from De Bruyne, and nice control by hazard to hit it easily past the hapless Tunisian goalkeeper.

As a contest it was over, and still we had so many minutes of the game to go. Subs came and went, and Batshuayi who was only on the pitch a short while, managed to have about 5 simple goal scoring chances, hitting one of the post when it was easier to score, rounding the glk in another and tamely hitting it when he should have blasted it into the empty net, but he did get the one nice goal, a well taken effort to make it 5-1.

Tunisia got one back, but they were never at the races today.

Panama V England: Panama started good, they had a great chance to hit the target when Bárcenas was through but he ballooned it way over. After that it was pretty much one way traffic for England.

Stones got a free header from a corner, as the Panamanian defenders were more into WWF than concentrating on how to actual defend a set piece. Then shortly after, Lingard was brought down for a penalty which Kane easily dispatched off. Lingard, again, scored a cracking curler in the tip right corner for the third goal. This was getting too easy for England.

The fourth goal was a perfectly executed training ground routine and Stones got to the end of it when Sterling refused to score with his free header, very considerate of him and all. There was time for another penalty before the half was called up. The Panamanian defenders were warned all game about their manhandling in the box, but they choose to ignore it and so gave away a simple peno well called by the ref. Kane again, same as.

In the second half, the tempo came down a bit which was understandably as the job was well done already by England. Kane did get his hat trick and England sixth, when he scored from his heel, what a pox.

R Torres nearly got his country’s first world cup but badly missed at the far post. Good enough for the cunt, what a shit captain, in everyone’s face throughout most of the game and couldn’t control either himself or his team. But that goal came in the end to Baloy, on a sub, and with a well struck goal put himself into his country’s footballing history books.

Today’s game sees who is less shit than the other, with both teams not really contributing anything much to the World Cup other than as good and easy target practice for England and Belgium.

A more detailed review on Panama here and on Tunisia here

Only saw the first half of this game:

Good high tempo start from both teams, both eager to get a win in the World Cup before they go home. But once again the shooting from both teams left a lot to be desired. F Ben Youssef, him of the dodgy red highlights in his hair, the most guilty, missing a host of chances, even kicking his own leg during one attempt, while his teammate Sliti and Khazri had their own mini competition to see which players could balloon the ball out of the fucking stadium (think Khazri won that battle), tsk. At least Bedoui got his chance on target which got the Panamanian goalkeeper to pull off a decent save. Tunisia were at least getting the chances, and to be fair to them, some of their players were doing well in the game. Sassi was pinning the passes around the pitch.

Panama, on the other hand, still haven’t figured out how to attack. They had many breaks from midfield, about 4 or more, and every time they slowed the ball right down, gave the Tunisian defenders time to readjust, and proceeded to pass it back to their defence. FFS!! What a rubbish team, how bad were the USA!?

And then they only went and score a poxy goal with a wicked deflection! Still you could sense by half time that if Tunisia started any kind of decent link up play they could open up this Panama team real easy, and so it proved, they ended up winning 2-1.

Two bad teams, hopefully we wont see them round again for a while as they brought nothing to the World Cup.
