I know Welbeck plays winger for Man U, but doesn't he play on the right? Does he have good enough ball control and dribbling skills to be cutting in from the left?

ZLATAN sitting in the stands for this game...I fully expect a Nike commercial-esque appearance by him randomly jumping into the game and shenanigans happening.

It's funny how awkward all the players look on the roster graphic of them folding their arms.

Some do it...this way. Others go with...this. Some tense up their shoulders. HRRNNNGGFF.

Oh man, Joe Hart is going to prove he's an English goalkeeper today, I can feel it.

Comment: Uruguay is the one team that England cannot intimidate. Urus really physical vs those English players.

Honestly sounded like a whole bunch of rape whistles/screams for a while there, I'm not even joking.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

Man suarez and Sturridge were really damn good to make this Henderson-gerrard partnership look good.

Welbeck has about 3 seconds to cross the ball and then dribbles it out of bounds :banghead:

Godin is extremely lucky not to be sent off. That should have been his 2nd yellow!
