The Ox is on the mend, thank fook. With no Walcott or Townsend and Wilshire misfiring, the England team needs an attacking midfield option.

Football football football!

It is in fairness a football thread. What were you expecting? Custard tart recipes?

Meat pie, sausage roll, c'mon England get us a goal!

My top 3 are Germany, Brazil and Belgium. Hardly original choices I know.

That can't be the Brazilian national anthem!

"Doves from above!"

:)

Own goal? Dear God!

Interesting game though. Brazil started off too cocky. Then they got punished for it.

Once they'd equalised they started it again.

Often the way though isn't it. A player is lucky not to be sent off then scores.

Good game so far.

Laughing out loud

Never a penalty.

DIVE!

Well a comfortable result but not really a comfortable game.

Not your traditional Brazil team either. 2 big strikers rather than silky smooth all round.

Dodgy penalty decision but when you're chasing the game you're susceptible to another one.

Yep, I wasn't overly impressed with the skill on show from Brazil. Looks like the beautiful game is truly eradicated from their culture. They haven't played in the traditional Brazil way for a long, long time.
