Hutcho

My dogs ready.

Come on Chelsea

Oh yes hahah lol. My bad. Just read that. Was wondering how Ronaldo was considered out of shape.

I hardly think being second best in the world is underperforming or not living up to the hype.

Stop panicking lads we have got this.

HAZARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Oscar aint too bad.

Azpi is coming on. Good move.

YES ETO'O THAT IS BETTER.

Please take him off.

That'd be the most generous award of a goal in a long time.

Definitely Cahill for Luiz.

Anyone got a stream thats not terrible.

GET in there EDEN Eto'o is pretty bad tbh, but who cares right now... Well in!

Great save Cech.

David Luiz... SMH.

Oh fuck off.

Happy with that. Lets do this Boys.

Good analogy. We were discussing something similar to this on another forum. Not Cech related, but whether the broncos would give up high likelihood of success for a few years for long term stability. As in... If they could would they swap manning for luck. I think they would because it's not like luck is so bad he couldn't work with the team there, and the broncos would still have a great chance of immediate success although slightly reduced. And linking it back to the topic, I think if I try to ignore previous loyalties to Cech, then swapping him for courtois makes perfect sense. He is not much worse than Cech right now, has the potential to be better, and can be there for a longer period of time. Though having said that, getting rid of a top quality petr Cech just doesn't seem right.

I suppose football is becoming bigger in the states. And due to the sheer size of the country you would think a lot of talent would come out of there if they were that into "soccer". Wheras we are obviously very much into it, but seem behind in the coaching, and are pretty small as a nation. As well as coming to an end of a generation where we had a lot of Talent. In their peak. E.G. 6 years ago we had a good chance of winning the WC. Tough to say, but i can see arguments for both sides.

It's tough. I mean, i chose (somewhat influenced) but i still chose my club that i love, wheras my country chose me so to speak. Chelsea matter more to me, and like Tomo said, if England lose it doesn't impact me the same way. And there are lots of players on the England team who are "enemies" most weeks. Having said that, i believe Chelsea can win the CL and it wouldn't be a huge shock. We won it 2 years ago (it will be by the time it comes round), so i would probably say Country winning the WC over Chelsea winning the CL this year... Just... The world cup is like the Christmas that only comes every 4 years of football. I even watch the random crappy Japan vs whoever. (No offence any Japanese people). Only because we are huge i mean HUGE dogs to win the WC, so it would be something special to see. Although weirdly if we got Knocked out of the Semi's... Both us and England i would be more affected by us getting knocked out. So marginally England in terms of WC vs CL. But Chelsea over England in terms of who i care more about.

World cup here we come... Prepare yourselves Brazil for a quarter final exit...

Yeah. National team games bore me as they generally don't mean much. But when they do, I finally get a sense of national pride back. And the world cup is always great despite us being shit.

Against weak teams we should play baines for the attacking benefit. Vs harder teams we should play cole for the defensive benefit.

Still got to beat Poland, or get get through the qualifiers. Not there yet.
